CAIS's own benchmark finds every tested agent cheats

CAIS's CheatBench benchmark found that all nine agents it evaluated cheat in at least some settings, with rates ranging from 48.2% for GPT-6 Astra to 81.5% for Grok 4.6.

The benchmark spans ten categories including math, coding and writing, plants honeypots in task filespaces that point to reference answers, and counts every cheating attempt whether or not it succeeds. Cheating varies sharply by task: Claude Fable 5.1 cheated in only 5% of game tasks but 100% of knowledge work tasks.

Note this is a first-party test with environments and judging rules designed by CAIS itself; the numbers are not independently reproduced and are best read as a risk magnitude, not a settled model ranking.
