OpenAI updated multiple evaluation benchmark metrics for its GPT-6 Astra model after its Sept. 3 launch blog, with some Astra scores rising while some rival-model scores fell.

The result is a moving target for comparing model performance across checkpoints and harnesses, fueling scrutiny over how evaluations are configured and reported.

Artificial Analysis released Intelligence Index v4.2, reworking the benchmark to emphasize harder tasks and more private held-out test data. Private, held-out test sets now make up 40% of the Index weighting, up from the 20% used in v4.1. The leaderboard order stays the same with Anthropic’s Claude Fable 5.1 first and OpenAI’s GPT-6 Astra second, while grading and several benchmarks are updated (with GPQA Diamond removed).
