GPT-6 boosts COBOL coding pass rates, handles legacy programming languages

OpenAI\'s GPT-6 series showed much stronger coding performance than earlier models in programming languages with limited training data, including COBOL, Fortran and Visual Basic. OpenAI released results from a new MultiLangBench benchmark that measures how well models build an SQLite-compatible database engine across 20 languages and pass set functional tests. OpenAI said the results could support maintenance and modernization of legacy software, while noting the evaluation was internally designed and would require expert review and further validation for real systems.

AI benchmarks miss 90 percent of human work, leaving blind spot in performance assessments

Existing benchmarks used to assess AI job performance cover only a small slice of real workplace tasks, an analysis found, making it difficult to conclude broad job capability from high test scores. U.S. AI talent and evaluation firm Mercor said about 90 percent of U.S. work hours are tied to tasks not adequately assessed. Using the Labor Department’s O*NET database, it mapped 29 benchmarks to 18,797 tasks and found only 4.9 percent met its coverage threshold.
