Are Frontier Models Really Getting Safer?
Exploring the evolving landscape of AI safety, our analysis dives into 18 months of Lamb-Bench safety scores for GPT and Claude models. Key insights reveal that while models have grown smarter, their safety isn’t guaranteed.
Key Findings:
- Newer ≠ Safer: Safety scores for GPT and Claude models show notable regressions after peaks. GPT-4o leads in safety while Claude 3.5 Sonnet remains the safest in its lineage.
- Volatility in Scores:
- GPT Models: Fluctuate significantly (69 to 87).
- Claude Models: Show a smoother, yet downward trend (83 to 76).
Critical Insights:
- Context Matters: Choose models based on specific risk profiles.
- Safety as Layer 0: Implement additional safeguard measures beyond vendor promises.
Conclusion
