GPT-6 Cyber 83% leads since November 2026
Fading

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.

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.
