Benchmark Almanac

Intentionally taking actions very rarely (Anthropic)

Only in system cards

Models are told to take a specific action at a target rate such as 1 percent. Resampling measures the observed rate under several randomness settings.

Internal replication of Serrano et al. 2026. Settings include a UUID in the prompt, String Seed of Thought and no randomness source.
