GPT-6 Astra tops TRACES scientific discovery benchmark
Apodex scored Astra's scientific discovery ability across six process dimensions, reporting Evidence and Coherence about 20–25% above GPT-5.6 Sol, though gains vary by dimension.
GPT-6 Astra @OpenAI is here. Everyone's asking how smart it is. We asked a different question: can it discover the unknown? We ran it through TRACES — our benchmark for scientific discovery capability. Six process dimensions, not one score. Result: it tops our leaderboard. Real generational jump — Evidence and Coherence both up ~20-25% over GPT-5.6 Sol and GPT-5.5. Highest Coherence we've ever recorded. But the six dimensions don't move together, and that's exactly why one "how smart" number isn't enough. Some capabilities leap forward, others hold steady, in the same model. That unevenness is what a process score is built to catch.
