Astra is a genuine improvement but not even off trend. So much for GPT-6 being AGI, folks. (i think we can safely assume that real AGI would be significantly above the trend line,)

GPT-6 Astra has set a new ECI record, with a score of 169. This is a substantial jump from the prior best (163), but is within our uncertainty range for the reasoning-era ECI trend. Astra also set new records on our math, continual learning, and game-puzzles benchmarks. On our long-horizon coding benchmark, MirrorCode, Astra ranks between Opus 4.7 and Fable 5. OpenAI gave us pre-release access to test Astra. Charts and more details for Astra’s individual benchmark results in the thread.
