Why this model scores 32.3
Very limited intrinsic capability and autonomy are offset by trivial local deployment and unrestricted replication of downloadable weights.
News tied to Qwen2 0.5B Base
The model score of 32.3 rates this model's risk profile. The overall Doom Index of 67.9 measures the complete temporally weighted evidence record. These values answer different questions.
Each article's current Doom Index contribution is divided equally among the exact models named on that article. This prevents multi-model evidence from being claimed in full on several model pages. Model risk scores use a bounded temporal offset around their technical profile, but never feed back into the overall index.
