ARC Prize rejects OpenAI's claim that Astra scored 99.9 percent on AGI test

ARC Prize built a benchmark specifically to resist gaming. Then OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra scored 99.9 percent on it, and the people who run the test said that number doesn't count. A benchmark designed to be gaming-proof just got a 99.9 percent score anyway. OpenAI touted that figure for GPT-6 Astra when it released the model on September 3, and Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang cited it three days later when he declared on X that "AGI has arrived," naming the OpenAI team in his praise. The post went up late on September 6 and had cleared 10 million views by Monday morning, per TheNextWeb.
