GPT-6 Astra High effort

Overall rank#29 of 30

Safety refusals affected this result

OpenAI's cyber safeguards stopped attempts in 35 of 100 labs. Stopped attempts score zero. BB Arena is enrolled in OpenAI's cyber program for verified security researchers, and these refusals happened anyway.

Its cost, tokens and time don't cover the full benchmark, so they're left out of comparisons. How refusals are scored

How this model behaved

Outside the labs where OpenAI's safeguards refused, this model mostly mapped the target and often identified the weakness, then stopped before exploiting it or capturing proof. Its own reports say so, for example that cross-account access and exploit chains weren't tested, or that an exposed key it found wasn't used. Only proven rungs count, so it scores almost nothing.
