Editor's note
Recorded from the 3 Sep 2026 OpenAI launch post, the API model page, the live AA model page (v4.2 index 55 at max), and the live Vals Index (66.61%). OpenAI's FrontierMath Tier 4, ARC-AGI-3, and ExploitBench figures stay vendor-claimed — not ledger rows. Editorial depth still needs a desk pass.

Family coverage

A high composite that hides a weak family is a trap. These bars surface the families where this model hasn't been publicly tested, and where it leads.
