OpenAI's new model achieves 87.4% accuracy on legacy language migration tests
OpenAI announced significant progress in its latest models for modernizing legacy software, particularly COBOL and Fortran programs used by banks, government agencies, and critical infrastructure.
Broad agreement across outlets — the difference is mainly in depth.
Argon Synthesis
IncludedOpenAI announced significant progress in its latest models for modernizing legacy software, particularly COBOL and Fortran programs used by banks, government agencies, and critical infrastructure. ITmedia reported that on a database engine construction test across 20 languages, OpenAI's new model achieved an 87.4% average pass rate, up from 26.8% with previous models. NV.ua framed this as a breakthrough for software modernization efforts targeting outdated systems in financial and public sectors.
Where they diverge
ITmedia emphasizes the technical precision required—noting that even a single byte difference can fail migration tests—and questions real-world performance on actual COBOL program conversion. NV.ua takes a broader infrastructure angle, highlighting the potential impact on banks and critical systems. Both outlets agree on the core improvement but differ in scope: ITmedia focuses on test metrics; NV.ua on institutional applications.
