OpenAI has released LifeVal, a new benchmark designed to evaluate AI agents on 169 everyday tasks, moving beyond traditional coding and test-based assessments. The benchmark draws tasks from time-use research and a survey, covering areas like household management, personal finance, and healthcare. Early results show GPT-6 Astra achieving an 80.6% reward score on tasks requiring high reasoning effort, with significant improvements in efficiency and output noted in recent model iterations. AI
IMPACT This benchmark could shift AI agent development towards practical, real-world task completion rather than just theoretical capabilities.
