OpenAI's GDPval tests AI across 44 real-world jobs
OpenAI just launched GDPval, a new benchmark designed to measure model performance on real-world knowledge work across 44 occupations contributing heavily to U.S. GDP. Deliverables span legal briefs, blueprints, and spreadsheets, with frontier models approaching expert quality up to 100x faster and cheaper. Why it matters: It shifts AI evaluation away from synthetic tests and into tangible workplace productivity.
