OpenAI Releases LifeVal Benchmark for Everyday Decision Tasks
OpenAI announced LifeVal, a benchmark that measures how well AI models handle everyday tasks rather than coding or math problems. Its tasks include choosing a kindergarten after a move, organizing a volunteer group for flood preparation, and narrowing down where to move based on conditions. OpenAI selected them with reference to the American Time Use Survey and the Multinational Time Use Study, adjusted by a questionnaire of 3,995 people. GPT-5.2 scored 49.3%, GPT-5.4 scored 73.0%, and GPT-6 Astra reached 80.6%.
