ARC Prize announces OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra achieves SOTA on ARC-AGI: 63% on ARC-AGI-3 under the provider-neutral harness, 99% via a new provider adapter harness, surpassing human performance on 96% of levels and building the most precise symbolic model of novel environments seen to date.

The striking part: identical weights score 62.7% with ARC Prize's standard harness but 99.9% when allowed OpenAI's native reasoning-state preservation and long-context management. The benchmark designed to expose novel-reasoning failures is now near ceiling — and the evaluation wrapper alone swings results by 37 points.
