Personal-assistant benchmarks move to real errands: LifeVal scores everyday chores, with best GPT-6 Astra records at 100% on several tasks
Evaluations of personal assistants have shifted to everyday errands. OpenAI started from the American Time Use Survey and the Multinational Time Use Study, added a demographically representative survey of 3,995 respondents to find where people most want help, and assembled the tasks into LifeVal, which it used to track model progress on such work over the past year. Among example tasks for current models, scores reach 93.1% on enrolling in the right kindergarten after a move and 90.4% on a care and meal plan for a parent newly diagnosed with diabetes; a table of best recorded GPT-6 Astra scores lists 100% for booking a sensory class, scheduling a car inspection and ordering halal groceries.
