FrontierCyber
Agents look for and exploit zero-day vulnerabilities in current off-the-shelf software and hardware at four difficulty levels. Scored as challenges solved.
Irregular published the v1.0 design on 22 June 2026. Two subsets run today, mobile devices and software exploitation, with named targets including Pillow, lxml, FFmpeg, ImageMagick, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, phones and routers. Each challenge gets a predicted difficulty band, Easy to Elite, before any run. A hidden flag proves success and planted markers give partial credit. Each evaluation ties to a timestamped snapshot, so scores compare only within one snapshot. Not public.

GPT-6 Astra leads with 38.1%
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 Astra 38.1%
- 2 GPT-6 Cyber 31.3%

| 2 | GPT-6 Cyber | 31.3% | Nov 2026 | Lab model card | |
| 3 | GPT-5.6 Sol | 9.64% | Jun 2026 | Lab model card |
2 models have held number one in labs’ own numbers since its release in June 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.

One lab put it in a launch post in the last six months
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 | 31.3 | FrontierCyber, 90 of 288 challenges solved |
4 system cards report it, from 1 lab
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.
