OpenAI says GPT-6 is much better with legacy programming languages such as COBOL and Fortran

OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra achieved an 87.4 percent test pass rate across 20 languages on the new MultiLangBench, up from about 38 percent for GPT-5.6 Terra, as OpenAI improved its latest models for low-resource programming languages including COBOL, Fortran, and Visual Basic. For COBOL migration specifically, GPT-6.1 Sol reaches up to 97.9 percent accuracy, a result OpenAI says could matter for modernizing critical financial infrastructure.
