I'm seeing reporting it gets 98.6% on ARC-AGI3[1] (previously like 30% with Fable) https://venturebeat.com/technology/welcome-to-the-agi-era-op...

Dead link for me

That was a quick pull out.

> The company also emphasized that the model is faster and more efficient than its predecessor, GPT-5.6 Sol, on a variety of tasks. For example, OpenAI said that Astra achieved a higher score using fewer output tokens, a common unit of measurement for AI tasks, on a key cybersecurity test called ExploitGym.

someone screenshot?

$10 per million input tokens and $50 per million output tokens sol is $4 / $20

GPT 6 Astra benchmarks https://cdn.thenewstack.io/media/2026/09/358eb84a-screenshot... Performance is significantly higher than Fable 5.1 Source: https://thenewstack.io/openai-gpt6-astra-benchmarks/

I've been seeing links to it for the past hour+, and I did catch it live when this post came up, but is now once again a 404 and this post is flagged. Several other outlets are reporting on its release. Clearly we're getting a new GPT today, the question is when are they going to commit to the announcement.

The ARCC-AGI-3 performance is absolutely incredible. The magnitude of change here is so high that I'm almost incredulous. Is this real? Did the benchmark get gamed?

Why is this flagged ?

You should know: AA index is only 61. Pretty surprised it’s that low.

https://ache.one/gpt6_now_down.png Big claims, expensive and not release to the public yet.

Oh brotha, here we go again, it's so over again, as every week nowadays

> GPT‑6 Astra is rolling out today to a limited set of organizations and over the coming days will become available to all ChatGPT Plus, Pro, Business, and Enterprise users, as well as through the OpenAI API and AWS. Looks like OpenAI is already having issues with this release and are scrambling to get everything ready due to the recent outage ahead of the press releases. Leads me to question: Did humans deploy the model, Or did the model deploy itself? It sounds like "AGI" just stands for "IPO" as it always has been. EDIT: And of course once again, the bots down-voting this post without any reason or a basic answer to my question.

Related: OpenAI begins rolling out GPT-6 Astra - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49554273 How about we stick to that one for talking about the rollout, and this one for talking about the model?

I guess this "limited set of organizations" is just the standard now. It's just incredibly deflating to see my future as a second class citizen has already come
