Methodology
Models are ranked using a series of prompts involving diverse range of challenging tasks. This includes:
- Prompt adherence and world understanding
- Motion and physics
- Character consistency
- Scene transitions
- Camera movement and angles
- Lighting and shadows
- Text and object generation
- 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:
A man riding a unicycle and juggling red balls
Will Smith eating spaghetti
A princess wearing a glittery white dress. She is running away from a massive red dragon with glowing red eyes. 3D disney pixar style
A gymnast performs a flip on a balance beam
A professor writes "hello" on the chalkboard
A swarm of zombies causing chaos in a shopping mall, shaky camera
A cat roars while looking at its reflection in the mirror but instead sees itself as a lion roaring
A neon sign with the text "Subscribe to my channel". Cyberpunk city at night.
