User @upperx tested Gemini (high) with a minimal prompt: "Draw the number 24 using exactly 24 circles... Do not use more or fewer circles." The model failed to produce the exact count, and miscounted its own circles when asked how many it drew — highlighting that precise quantity constraints remain a weak spot for image generation models.
