CritPt v2 hard subset: GPT-6 Astra leads at 72%, top open-weights model only 45%

ArtificialAnlys · x · 2026-10-28

Artificial Analysis explains how it scores CritPt v2 in its Index: a private 40-question hard subset of 70 research-level physics problems, minus 30 that seven frontier models solved in all five attempts at launch. Models run in an offline Python sandbox via its agentic harness Stirrup.

GPT-6 Astra leads at 72% (high effort), GPT-6.1 Sol follows at 69% (max effort), and overall Index leader Claude Opus 5.5 (max) scores 61%. The best open-weights model, Kimi K3.1 Pro, trails at 45%.
