After talking to some people tasked with evaluating GPT5.6 capabilities on long-running tasks, I've come to understand that it's essentially always trying to cheat. Like every long-running task they gave it, making it very difficult to benchmark the model's abilities.
My guess is that OpenAI must be desperate, to release a model that is so prone to cheating it's essentially impossibly to accurately assess long-running task abilities.
