Safety filters affect the leaderboard: SemiAnalysis says they depress scores for Opus 5.5 and GPT-6 Astra.

GDPx tests agentic capabilities across 11 domains, with specialist data partners contributing tasks and SemiAnalysis handling final quality checks. Opus 5.5 leads at 12%, followed by Google's upcoming Gemini Carbon at 10.9%. SemiAnalysis also presents results excluding cybersecurity, biology and alignment, where safety classifiers sometimes intervene. Commenters question the binary scoring, saying models can pass more than 60% of a task's verifiers and still receive zero.
