OpenAI says its new models finally get COBOL, Fortran and Visual Basic
OpenAI says its latest models are far better at writing and migrating code in low resource languages such as COBOL, Fortran, OCaml and Visual Basic. On its own COBOL migration test, GPT-6.1 Sol jumped from 5.4 to 86.6 percent at low reasoning effort, and GPT-6 Astra passed 87.4 percent of tests on a new open benchmark that asks models to rebuild SQLite in 20 languages.
