TheoPhysEval puts GPT-6-Astra at 49 of 50 physics problems
THE DECODER reports TheoPhysEval tested 50 unpublished theoretical physics problems, and GPT-6-Astra solved 49 in OpenAI's Codex environment at an average cost of under $3 each. The researchers said current agents still lack the "taste" to pick interesting questions or move to simpler related problems.
Why it matters. This gives research-agent builders a benchmark for routine calculations, while problem choice and question framing remain limits the researchers highlighted.
