GPT-6 Astra High effort

Overall rankNot rankedOn the refusals board

Safety refusals affected this result

OpenAI's cyber safeguards stopped attempts in 76 of 100 labs. Stopped attempts score zero. BB Arena is enrolled in OpenAI's cyber program for verified security researchers, but its tier doesn't cover GPT-6 Astra.

With refusals in more than 10 of 100 labs, its score says more about the safeguards than the model, so it isn't ranked: it's on the refusals board. Its cost, tokens and time are left out of comparisons too. How refusals are scored

On the labs it was never refused

OpenAI's safeguards stopped attempts in 76 of 100 labs. On the other 24, GPT-6 Astra worked without refusals, so here it's compared like for like with the ranked models that did best on those same 24 labs. These labs aren't a random sample of the benchmark, so this doesn't predict a full score.

By vulnerability class

How GPT-6 Astra (High) did on each type of vulnerability. Shown as counts: each class has 10 labs, so one lab is 10% of a class.
