MiMo hits Pixel32Bench: LLMs draw on a 32×32 canvas, 'near Opus 5, way cheaper'

Pixel32Bench is a fan experiment by Moon Midas: zero-shot, single-turn, models draw pixel art on a 32×32 canvas from one prompt via OpenRouter's strict JSON schema, with a Node.js harness logging time and API cost alongside Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index scores (2026-08-22 snapshot). X user TheMoonMidas shared MiMo's results, quoting that MiMo shows "almost Opus 5 capability but so much cheaper + open source" — though its Mario looks a bit funny. The site offers 16×16 and 32×32 modes and a downloadable benchmark runner.
