AI Safety Evidence

Which language models have the strongest safety evidence?

An evidence-weighted ranking of 874 language models across 132 independent evaluations. 309 models currently have enough breadth to rank.

Overall ranking

Rank combines model behavior (90%) and company governance (10%). Models need at least 3 evals across 2 behavior components. The interval is at least as important as the point estimate: it shows source-family sensitivity, not future performance.

How to interpret these ranks

The behavior order is the mean rank across complete-lineage bootstrap refits. Every sub-eval contributes only an ordering; native score scales are never pooled. Intervals separately resample transitive governed-source dependency components. Coverage varies and nearby models are often indistinguishable: the median 90% interval spans 159 ranks.

Rank by release date

283 of 309 ranked models have verified release dates. Each mark identifies the model's developer. Release date is context only and is not used to calculate rank.
