The grounding number: GeneBench Pro 37.8% — the weakest domain score Astra publishes
GeneBench Pro is GPT-6: Astra's weakest published domain score at 37.8%, well behind its scores in coding, cybersecurity, and general reasoning. State this plainly rather than burying it: genomics and life-sciences reasoning is not where this model is strongest, and it should not anchor a life-sciences workflow decision on its headline frontier scores elsewhere.

If genomics-specific reasoning accuracy is the primary requirement, look for a domain-specialized model or tool benchmarked directly on genomics tasks rather than a general frontier model whose GeneBench Pro score sits well below its other domain scores.
