Scope and findings
All 11 tasks were delivered and inspected. SVG constraints and animation attachments are well executed, with checks supporting the shelf bodies, gear counts and sampled ratio; mechanical meshes/UVs, bed dimensions, interior framing and decorative details still have problems. All four knowledge films reach 1080p and 78–89 seconds, with broadly sound explanations, but self-defined scores in a NASA-labeled chart, extra QR claims and missing glyphs affect reliability. Editable projects and source are retained; geometry, sources and fine-text readability still need review before use.
All eleven final deliveries were inspected. Accepted means delivered and checked, not a perfect quality score. The work is presented first, with run conditions and raw usage in the expandable evidence section.

Budgets and cumulative SVG elapsed time
No controller caps on turns, cumulative output, retries or creation time. Each response allows up to 65,536 output tokens; individual network requests have a 600-second deadline and outage backoff is at least 60 seconds.
SVG elapsed spans, from first session creation to final completion: clock 586 s, dashboard 298 s, poster 501 s, cycling pelican 962 s. These include rendering, interruptions and waiting, with overlapping sessions; they are not isolated inference-speed measurements.

24/18/60-tooth planetary reducer and axial explosion
The tooth counts, millimetre dimensions and sampled 3.5 ratio are correct, with a complete six-second film. Cropped framing, bright highlights, degenerate triangles, collapsed UVs and disconnected carrier shells still weaken asset quality.

Why does water float after it freezes?
The 89-second film explains floating ice through mass conservation, hydrogen bonds and volume expansion, with a basically correct scientific narrative. Dense cards, a molecular count that differs from the storyboard and absent promised camera zooms reduce clarity.
Test details
Not recorded · Requests / complete responses: 49 / 46 · — / — input / output tokens
- A complete 89 s film, required documents/source and three audio stems are delivered; full decode, 24 SRT cues and 12 TTS segment boundaries pass. The 18/18 molecular comparison, liquid-water hydrogen bonds, about 9% volume expansion and freshwater/seawater boundary are basically consistent with the sources. Dense cards weaken fine-text readability on small screens; promised camera zooms are absent; the equal-volume ice panel has 12 molecules versus about 16 in the storyboard. The pronunciation guide contains a tone error for molecule; actual listening is unknown. Both TTS WAV/text/receipt versions are preserved as read-only snapshots. The author deleted the intermediate mix WAV; its bytes were not archived. Supplied source and stems can rebuild it; the coordinator did not regenerate it.

Why can a damaged QR code still be read?
The 78-second film correctly explains 8-bit codewords, correction levels and the Q-level 50/200 example, including the 100+100 split. Extra fixed redundancy ratios, inevitable finder failure and mandatory size growth lack source support, and fine text is dense.

- A complete 78 s film, required documents/source and three WAV stems are delivered; full decode, 12 TTS/SRT boundaries and the burned caption table pass. The main 8-bit, approximate levels and Q-level 50/200 explanation is correct; 200 cells, the 100+100 split, 50-cell recovery and D2/D6 values were verified. Dense cards weaken small-screen labels; extra fixed redundancy ratios lack source support, and finder failure/mandatory size growth are overstated. Promised smooth chapter transitions are absent; listening and word-level speech alignment remain unknown. All five TTS WAV/text/receipt versions and the first complete MP4/source are preserved. The author-deleted master WAV was captured in QA; the coordinator did not remix it.

Why does Webb use five thin sunshield layers?
The 81.5-second film clearly separates the five-layer shield, lateral heat escape and coatings, with prominent captions. Its final chart presents self-defined cooling/complexity scores as NASA modeling and adds unsupported threshold claims, while fine annotations are dense.

Why does noise cancellation work without music?
The 84.8-second film clearly connects passive sealing, the microphone–processor–speaker chain and residual pressure, with explicit idealization labels. Some checkmarks are missing, fine text has low contrast, and planned gains differ from the actual mix.

Gemini 4 Argon · 2026-11-04
creative-suite-v4: three Blender tasks, four date-locked knowledge videos, three static SVGs and one SMIL animation. The model independently authors source through the Google Developer API-compatible tool loop; local renderers generate media. The coordinator orchestrates, inspects and packages. No thinkingLevel was forced; the documented default is MEDIUM, without per-request independent measurement. Knowledge narration uses the fixed local Kokoro zf_xiaobei voice (lang z); Gemini-native speech generation was not evaluated. Blender films use procedural music and effects, without narration. The bookshelf and first knowledge-film sessions encountered colliding indices in streamed parallel tool calls: the adapter merged image-view calls, which were not executed. Errors and usage were retained; technical feedback requested one tool call per response in the original sessions, which then resumed. Subsequent Argon cases receive the same transport instruction. Frozen runtime code, tasks and model are unchanged. Serial calls and resource interruptions affect request counts and elapsed time, which are not used for cross-model speed or cost rankings. Work was queued one case at a time under disk pressure. After free space recovered to about 6 GiB, at most one Blender case and one knowledge film ran together. Existing sessions and artwork were retained; resource and queue time are not model inference speed. Long interior-source responses repeatedly disconnected without usable content. The original session resumed with technical feedback to persist source in smaller pieces; source writing then continued. The underlying disconnect cause remains undetermined.
The API did not return actual charges or credit deductions. Actual monetary cost is unknown; no price estimate substitutes for billing.
Visual observations are by AI; dimensions, media and audio checks use scripts. No human scoring or actual listening is claimed. Accepted means delivery and inspection; quality defects remain in the case notes.
Native P/C/T, cache and explicitly returned reasoning are retained per request in the public ledger. C is not guaranteed to include all hidden thinking; missing is not zero and T−P−C is not inferred as reasoning. Complete input/output totals are unknown and shown as —; known subtotals are not a full bill.
Visual commentary by AI; dimensions and media checks use scripts.

Original Google benchmark figures
Two original Google figures show a multi-benchmark overview and DeepSWE V1.1. The GIF files contain one frame each. TOKRACE did not independently reproduce these results. Original image bytes, dimensions, axes, footnotes and attribution are retained.
Google uses the highest thinking setting unless noted, with mostly pass@1 results. Harnesses and source leaderboards differ. OSWorld is a partial score on an offline subset, taking the maximum of three runs.
