Methodology
Models are ranked using a series of prompts involving diverse range of challenging tasks. This includes:
- Prompt adherence and understanding
- Human anatomy
- Generating text
- Diagrams and infographics
- World understanding
- Uncommon poses and expressions
- Spatial understanding
- NSFW capabilities
To prevent manipulation, the prompts are kept confidential and are regularly updated to increase difficulty as models improve. Here is a subset of prompts for your reference:
Make the characters fight according to the pose drawing. They are fighting in an arctic background with a blizzard
Turn the scene into night time
Make a fisheye overhead view of this scene
Turn all the girls into cats and boys into dogs
Make a model sheet of this character with a front, back, and side view
Translate all the text into Chinese
