OpenAI internal model hits ~26% pass rate at lowest compute, beating GPT-6 Astra's best

imjustnewatai · x · 2026-11-03

A chart shared by OpenAI shows its internal RL-trained model reaching 26% pass rate on a curated set of open math problems at its lowest tested compute budget, while GPT-6 Astra peaks at 17% — roughly 50% higher pass rate with less test-time compute. With more compute, the internal model climbs to 47%. For context: Anthropic reported an early tester completed a 680,000-line code migration in under a day with Opus 5.5; OpenAI reported 98% on FrontierMath Tier 4. At ADIPEC, Sam Altman tied the model behind the Navier–Stokes work to an upcoming GPT release, describing 10,000 agents working together for 4 days. The author predicts low-reasoning will soon suffice for 99% of everyday tasks, with max reasoning reserved for frontier math and hard science.
