GPT-6 Astra drives a car in leaderboard tests
A leaderboard released on Hacker News shows that the multimodal model GPT-6 Astra completed a simulated driving course with 100 % progress in 5 minutes 22 seconds. The test allowed up to three attempts in a single continuous chat, recording distance, speed, finish time and token usage for each run. In the same benchmark, Anthropic’s Claude Fable 5.1 reached 45 % of the course, while Grok 4.6…
Key points
- GPT-6 Astra completed the driving course with 100% progress in 5:22, outperforming other models.
- Claude Fable 5.1 reached 45%, Grok 4.6 reached 11%, GPT-5.6 reached 6% on the same test.
- Leaderboard records distance, speed, finish time, token usage and cost for up to three attempts per model.
The table also lists token counts and list‑price costs for each attempt, though exact numbers are not shown. GPT‑6 Astra’s performance suggests it can maintain lane position within a 4‑meter corridor while navigating the track, a step toward autonomous‑driving capabilities for large language models. The results are presented without independent verification, and the source does not name the organization behind GPT‑6 Astra.
