SemiAnalysis launches GDPx benchmark: best model scores just 12%, and GPT-6 Pro found grading errors

SemiAnalysis released GDPx, a frontier-level benchmark measuring agentic capabilities across the most valuable domains — the best model scores only 12% (1/7).

Ethan Mollick welcomed it as a successor to GDPval but noted it needs human baselines; he says GPT-6 Pro spotted errors in the grading, and that 0% scores hide economically meaningful differences in success rates.

Attached screenshots analyze two concrete grading issues: a verifier reporting four customer-program adjustments as missing when they exist in a supporting tab — likely a presentation-compliance failure, not a comprehension failure; and a simulator bug where the 350-microsecond IEX delay is applied to order placement but omitted for cancellations, contradicting IEX docs, meaning the winning trading strategy's pass may be a simulator artifact.
