Pouring coffee
The prompt: “Coffee being poured into a clear glass cup in slow motion, steam rising, backlit”
Continuous fluid stream, transparency, refraction and steam. The benchmark shot for physics.
Every model, same prompt

Kling 3.0
Kuaishou
4.50/5
Accurate low-viscosity turbulence and foam; no gel artifacts (better physics than Sora on this one).
#3
OpenAI Sora 2
OpenAI
3.33/5
FAILURE MODE: coffee inside the cup forms unnatural gel-like ribbed layers instead of turbulent mixing (00:02.5-00:07.0), despite a good initial pour stream.
