Expert-SWE (OpenAI)
Agents do long-horizon coding tasks with a median estimated human completion time of 20 hours.
OpenAI calls it an internal frontier eval. The GPT-5.5 post (April 23rd, 2026) reports 73.1% for GPT-5.5 and 68.5% for GPT-5.4.

GPT-6 Cyber leads with 83%
Best score per model as labs report them in their own cards. Labs pick their own settings, so these compare less cleanly than independent runs.
- 1 GPT-6 Cyber 83%
- 2 GPT-5.5 73.1%

| # | Model | Score | Setting | Date | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | GPT-6 Cyber | 83% | Nov 2026 | Lab model card | |
| 2 | GPT-5.5 | 73.1% | Apr 2026 | Lab model card |
2 models have held number one in labs’ own numbers since its release in April 2026
Lab claims count from the day the card came out, independent runs from the model’s release.

Scores over time
All the scores we have, one dot each, so a model tested at several settings appears more than once.

Labs headline it less often now, last in November 2026
Launch posts from every lab that has listed it, one tick per post. Tall colored ticks include it, and short gray ones leave it out.
| Date | Launch post | Score | As the post writes it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nov 5, 2026 | GPT-6 Cyber | 83 | ExpertSWE, long-horizon software-engineering tasks |
| Apr 23, 2026 | GPT-5.5 | 73.1 | Expert-SWE (Internal) |
One system card reports it
Besides launch posts, we read the system cards, model cards and technical reports labs publish with a release. They report far more, including safety and frontier-risk tests.
