OpenAI’s GPT-6 Astra masters advanced math, scores 98% on FrontierMath

OpenAI’s GPT-6 Astra has achieved a 98% score on the challenging FrontierMath Tier 4 benchmark, demonstrating an ability to master advanced mathematics and apply that skill to solve previously unsolved problems. The new model also surpasses human action-efficiency baselines on 96% of levels within the ARC-AGI-3 benchmark, effectively reaching human parity. OpenAI developed a new evaluation, informed by a recent incident with a different AI, to ensure Astra remains within its intended scope when tackling difficult tasks, highlighting a commitment to responsible AI development. This high score on the benchmark signifies a new level of proficiency in a field long considered a significant hurdle for artificial intelligence. The model’s success extends beyond symbolic manipulation; it actively contributes to mathematical discovery, a capability previously confined to human researchers. Further demonstrating its advanced capabilities, GPT-6 Astra attained a 99.9% score on the ARC-AGI-3 benchmark, saturating the benchmark and establishing a new standard for general intelligence evaluation. This performance is particularly noteworthy given the model’s ability to handle complex tasks requiring reasoning and problem-solving skills. OpenAI reports that GPT-6 Astra delivers performance on internal coding benchmarks and exhibits improved “intuition” in trading evaluations when…
