ARC Prize puts Astra 37 points below the score OpenAI led with

The same model produced 99.9% in OpenAI's launch post and 62.7% on the benchmark authors' neutral harness, and Astra's input tokens cost double GPT-5.6 Sol's, which leaves the vendor table doing very little work in a purchase decision.

Astra's 99.9% holds up only on the harness OpenAI ran itself

ARC Prize put GPT-6 Astra at 62.7% against OpenAI's 99.9%, and the third-party composite index has it 0.3 points above the model it replaces, which leaves the 20% safety compute overhead as the clearest number in the launch.
