OpenAI eval chart called out for starting Y-axis at 65, making an 8-point gap look huge

teortaxesTex · x · 2026-11-13

A critic flagged an OpenAI eval slide for chart manipulation: the Y-axis starts at 65, visually inflating an 8-point gap to look more than twice as tall. The quoted comparison adds that the model is much better (less hesitant) than GPT-6 Astra on ExploitGym (writing exploits) but barely better on PatchBench (patching bugs) — far stronger at breaking in than at fixing. The poster laments that this kind of chart trick 'has got to stop.'
