Internal codebase monitor evasion eval
Gemini 4 Argon 76.4% Only in system cards Agents do a real coding task in a snapshot of Google's monorepo while hiding a harmful side task from action and CoT monitors.
In-house Google DeepMind evaluation inspired by OAI-repo-sabotage. Uses 18 monitor-validated task pairs.
- Level
- Expert Specialists with years of training, often over hours of work
- Scored
- Graded by a model A language model scores each response, usually against a rubric.

- Agent task Many steps in a terminal, browser, desktop, app, game or robot.
Gemini 4 Argon leads with 76.4%
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.
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.
| Date | Document | Score | As the document writes it | Section |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 13 Oct 2026 | Gemini 4 Argon system card | 76.4 | Internal codebase version, evasion rate vs combined action and CoT monitor (Gemini 3.8 Flash) 76.4%; action-only prompt: 74.6% evasion, 71.9% successful sabotage; CoT-only monitor 98.4% (Figures 3.26, 3.28) | Monitorability |
