Google Gemini Omni
GoogleReal cut with an actual midday-to-dusk lighting change (lamps lit, atmosphere shifted) -- the only one of the models benchmarked so far to render this prompt as intended rather than a single static/continuous shot.
Runway Gen-4.5
RunwayRendered as a single static time-lapse (day-to-night) rather than multiple shots; a defensible reading of the prompt, lighter fidelity discount than the other multishot prompts.
PixVerse v5.5
PixVerseThe requested midday-to-dusk lighting change never happens -- verified via frame extraction: first and last frames both already read as dusk/blue-hour, no midday state shown at any point. Confirmed prompt-adherence failure, not a hallucination.

xAIFAILURE MODE: single continuous shot, stays in midday light, the requested dusk transition never happens.
Kling 3.0
KuaishouFAILURE MODE: single static shot, no midday-to-dusk transition delivered at all, the prompt's core requirement (time change) is simply missing, though what is there is stable.
