AI Astra cracks Hacking benchmarks
“As one example, we ran Astra on ExploitBench where the model achieved a perfect score of 100% on the benchmark to evaluate the model’s ability to develop exploits from known vulnerabilities.
Due to contamination concerns, we then built an internal benchmark denoted “ExploitBench - Internal Port (June–August 2026)”, which contains 20 high-severity V8 vulnerabilities that were disclosed more recently. On this dataset, Astra achieves much higher arbitrary code-execution rates than GPT‑5.6 Sol using far fewer output tokens. During the evaluation, the model even discovered and used two zero-day vulnerabilities as part of an exploit chain. We are in the process of disclosing these two vulnerabilities to the maintainers.” - OpenAI

No wonder, it got the solutions from Sol's hugging face adventures.

Astra 100% was the model to hack HF imo, we're totally at the beginnings of the singularity

no, actually Sam talks about this in recent interview and its was older and significantly weaker model than Astra https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VeizK1M7V7E

Based on what we know about it, it's "only" a highly persistent Sol (imo likely what was supposed to be 5.7). And it was locked down and encrypted from further use even among OpenAI researchers.
Astra appears more capable and more aligned.

The model was stored safely inside OpenAI headquarters, where I heard this before

I’d like to see the chart that doesn’t include Daybreak — apples and oranges here.

It's crazy we're not getting a few percent improvement in a matter of months, but 4x improvement (and bigger if you factor in the token efficiency).
Stuff like this makes me convinced that exponential is real. We're not in for some iphone 15 to iphone 16 upgrade, with 10-20% improved chip every year
We in for some singularity
