Benchmark Almanac

Biological safety evaluations (OpenAI)

Only in system cards

Models answer biology requests drawn from deidentified production data and from easy and hard synthetic sets. Scored as the share of cases where model training alone prevents a violative response.

In-house OpenAI evaluation. The tasks are not public. A second table scores the model together with automated safety monitors.

Labs report it only in system cards

We read the headline results of 479 launch posts from 51 labs, and none of them list this benchmark. Some system cards do, below.

One system card reports it

Besides launch posts, we read the system cards, model cards and technical reports labs publish with a release. They report far more, including safety and frontier-risk tests.
