Same prompt.

Four completely different frontend implementations.
I compared Claude Fable 5,
@Zai_org GLM-5.2, DeepSeek V4 Pro, and Qwen3.7 Max in the
@novita_labs Arena Playground using the exact same prompt.
Task:
Build a single-file HTML/CSS/JS animation where two airplanes collide mid-air with clouds, particles, and a pause button.
