SenseTime-led study: GPT-6-Astra scores near-perfect on benchmarks but fails real-robot tasks
A research report by SenseTime, Daxia Robotics, Ropedia, NTU Singapore, and the University of Tokyo analyzes GPT-6-Astra's embodied intelligence across 12 simulation benchmarks and 8 real-robot platforms. The model achieves near-perfect scores on traditional benchmarks (e.g., 100% on LIBERO-Long++, 99.3% on LIBERO-Pro) but fails on real-robot tasks, such as taking over 4 hours and $55 to place a pen in a holder, and failing 11 insertion attempts. The report concludes GPT-6-Astra has largely crossed the embodied intelligence threshold but remains far from practical deployment.

UniPat AI's PaperBenchX: GPT-6 Astra full reproduction rate only 13.98% on 93 tasks
UniPat AI's PaperBenchX benchmark evaluated 10 model configurations on 93 real paper replication tasks, finding that the strongest model, GPT-6 Astra, achieved only a 13.98% full reproduction rate. This comes amid debate over AI math benchmarks, with 25 Fields Medalists including Tao and Deng Yu signing an open letter warning that treating math problem-solving as a benchmark is harmful to mathematics and the community.
