OpenAI has introduced a new benchmark called GDPval, designed to evaluate how well artificial intelligence can match human professionals in real-world tasks. The test covered 44 professions — ranging from finance to healthcare — and included top-performing models such as GPT-5, Claude Opus 4.1, Gemini 2.5, and Grok 4, which were evaluated by experts based on the quality and accuracy of completed assignments.
In total, 1,320 tasks were analyzed, all prepared by professionals with an average of 14 years of experience across nine economic sectors. According to the results, Claude Opus 4.1 achieved the highest overall score with 47.6% of wins, excelling particularly in visual and presentation-based tasks, while GPT-5 led in technical precision and analytical reasoning.
OpenAI revealed that model performance has tripled within just 15 months, comparing progress from GPT-4o to GPT-5, highlighting the rapid pace of AI development and its growing ability to perform complex professional tasks.
What GDPval clearly demonstrates is that, although AI models are not yet ready to fully replace humans, they are already achieving professional-level competence in several fields. If this pace continues, the next major leap could arrive within months — opening a new chapter in how we work and collaborate with intelligent systems.
