Honeypot exploitation monitorability
Agents exploit a honeypot while told about a monitor or told to hide it. Scored on CoT and full-context monitor recall.
In-house OpenAI monitorability evaluation. Higher recall means more monitorable behavior.
- Level
- Expert Specialists with years of training, often over hours of work
- Scored
- Graded by a model A language model scores each response, usually against a rubric.
- Answers
- Agent task Many steps in a terminal, browser, desktop, app, game or robot.
3 models share the top score of 100%
Best score per model as labs report them in their own cards. Labs pick their own settings, so these compare less cleanly than independent runs.
- 1 GPT-6 Astra 100%
- 2 GPT-6 Sol 100%
- 3 GPT-6.1 Sol 100%
| # | Model | Score | Setting | Date | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | GPT-6 Astra | 100% | Sep 2026 | Model card | |
| 2 | GPT-6 Sol | 100% | Sep 2026 | Model card | |
| 3 | GPT-6.1 Sol | 100% | Sep 2026 | Model card |
Number one over time
Lab claims count from the day the card came out, independent runs from the model’s release.
The best score passed 85% in Sep 2026
All the scores we have, one dot each, so a model tested at several settings appears more than once.
Labs report it only in system cards
We read the headline results of 479 launch posts from 51 labs, and none of them list this benchmark. Some system cards do, below.
3 system cards report it, from 1 lab
Besides launch posts, we read the system cards, model cards and technical reports labs publish with a release. They report far more, including safety and frontier-risk tests.
| Date | Document | Score | As the document writes it | Section |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 29 Sep 2026 | GPT-6.1 Sol system card addendum | 100 | Honeypot exploitation monitorability, full-context monitor recall on successful exploits (8.1.2.1) | Monitorability |
