OpenAI released test results showing its GPT-6 Astra model significantly outperforms previous versions in migrating legacy programming languages like COBOL, Fortran, and Visual Basic. GPT-6 Astra passed up to 87.4% of MultiLangBench tests, compared to 26.8% for GPT-5.6 Sol, with COBOL pass rates jumping from 10.9% to 72.1%. The model also excels at translating COBOL programs while preserving their exact behavior, a critical factor for financial software accuracy. These advances could reduce migration costs and risks for companies maintaining legacy financial systems, though expert oversight remains necessary for live deployments.
