GPT-6 Sol leads with 0.08%
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 Sol 0.08%
- 2 GPT-6 Astra 0.06%
- 3 GPT-6.1 Sol 0.06%

3 models have held number one in labs’ own numbers since 2023
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 report it only in system cards
We read the headline results of 522 launch posts from 52 labs, and none of them list this benchmark. Some system cards do, below.
7 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.
