OpenAI has released performance claims for its new model, GPT-5.6 "Sol," stating it surpasses Anthropic's Opus 5 on the ARC-AGI-3 benchmark. However, these results were achieved using OpenAI's proprietary API, which includes custom reasoning and context compaction techniques. When tested in the standard ARC-AGI-3 environment, GPT-5.6 "Sol" scored significantly lower, while Opus 5 achieved its score without such specialized aids. AI
IMPACT This benchmark comparison highlights potential advancements in AI reasoning capabilities, though the use of custom test harnesses raises questions about direct comparability.
