GPT-6 Astra 57.6% leads since November 2026
Not in model cards

Agents do private equity and investment banking work on 21 anonymized real deals: valuation, due diligence, underwriting and financial modeling. Each task comes with a data room of about 19 files and would take a professional about 27 hours. Rubrics of about 84 criteria grade the output, the workflow and the judgment behind each assumption.

Each lab's models run in that lab's own agent harness, such as Claude Code or Codex, with web search on, so a score reflects the model and its harness. Scores average 10 attempts per task. The top four runs are within each other's 95% intervals. The post doesn't name the grader. The tasks are not released.
