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 reported hallucination rate for Astra changed from 4.2% to 2% within hours, and later returned to 4.2%. 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).

The day’s biggest thread wasn’t another model release—it was money, and who gets it. Apollo Global Management’s latest analysis argues that, outside the biggest tech firms, AI has barely moved the needle: revenue per worker for the S&P 493 has hovered around $550,000 since 2019. Apollo’s implication is blunt: many companies are treating AI spend as a cost center until they can show clearer returns, which helps explain why mainstream adoption often looks like pilot purgatory rather than productive transformation.
