Claim: GPT-6 Astra beats Atari's Montezuma's Revenge in real time with a basic harness
swishfever · x · 2026-09-08
A user claims "GPT-6 Astra (low)" beat the notoriously hard Atari exploration game Montezuma's Revenge in real time using only a basic agent harness. The claim is unverified — no GPT-6 model has been announced by OpenAI.
The poster also argues this should resolve Metaculus's "When Will Weakly General AI Arrive?" question. If true it would be a notable capability signal, but treat it as an unconfirmed rumor for now.
