Why this model scores 50.6

Greater scale, vision and long context raise general capability, while base status limits autonomy. Open local deployment keeps misuse and control difficulty material.

MODEL-ATTRIBUTED EVIDENCE

News tied to Gemma 3 12B Base

The model score of 50.6 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.

NET MODEL-ATTRIBUTED INDEX CONTRIBUTION+0.02

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.
