OpenAI: GPT-6 Astra (batch)

OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra, released on September 4, 2026, is positioned as a flagship model for demanding end-to-end tasks, excelling in advanced analysis, software engineering, and deep research. It demonstrates competitive response times, ranking in the 57th percentile for speed across benchmarks. However, its pricing is at a premium, placing it in the 18th percentile. A standout feature is its exceptional reliability, achieving a 100% success rate across all evaluated benchmarks, indicating consistent and usable responses. GPT-6 Astra exhibits remarkable strengths in specific areas. It achieved perfect accuracy in both Hallucinations (Baseline) and Reasoning (Baseline) tests, demonstrating a strong ability to acknowledge uncertainty and perform complex multi-step analysis. It also performed very well in Instruction Following (91.0% accuracy, 95th percentile) and Coding (94.0% accuracy, 81st percentile). While its Email Classification (99.0% accuracy) and Mathematics (93.0% accuracy) scores are solid, its performance in General Knowledge (91.0% accuracy, 26th percentile) and Ethics (95.0% accuracy, 24th percentile) suggests these areas are relative weaknesses compared to its other high-performing capabilities.
