Summary: SemiAnalysis’ GDPx evaluates frontier agents on 206 professional tasks across 11 domains with artifacts designed by experts from 14 organizations. Models receive three attempts, and domain scores are weighted equally. The benchmark adds cost reporting and reviewable deliverables, but its results still depend on task construction, grader procedures and each vendor’s configured model.
Why it matters: Evaluation teams can borrow the structure without copying the leaderboard: define realistic deliverables, retain attempts and costs, publish grading criteria and report domain results separately before treating one aggregate score as operational readiness.
