OpenAI released MentalHealthBench, an open benchmark for AI responses to everyday support and crisis-related mental-health conversations, developed with mental-health experts. OpenAI reports GPT-6 Astra scored 57.3 versus 32.1 for GPT-4o.

OpenAI says ChatGPT for Healthcare can receive authorized Epic patient context in ChatGPT or within the patient chart. The release also adds a public-data plugin for nine healthcare sources and reports 99.1% safety in its evaluation.

Transluce released SimMH-Chat, a multi-turn evaluation of 77 model variants responding to simulated mental-health crises. The study generated more than 1 million messages and found recent models markedly safer than earlier generations.
