Cyber Conversational Evals
About 1,000 one to five turn cyber requests test whether safeguards block offensive help and allow defensive help. Reports violation and benign refusal rates.
In-house Google DeepMind safeguard coverage evaluation, run with mitigations on.

Gemini 4 Argon leads with 0.40%
Best score per model as labs report them in their own cards. Labs pick their own settings, so these compare less cleanly than independent runs.

Scores over time
All the scores we have, one dot each, so a model tested at several settings appears more than once.
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.
2 system cards report it, from 1 lab
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.
| Date | Document | Score | As the document writes it | Section |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 13 Oct 2026 | | 0.4 | Cyber Conversational, violation rate 0.4%, benign refusal rate 53.9%, with mitigations (Figure 3.9) | Cyber risk |
| 13 Aug 2026 | | 11.4 | Cyber Conversational, violation rate with safeguards. Benign refusal rate = 6.5% (Figure 5) | Robustness |
