Why this model scores 45.7

Multimodality and long context increase capability while base training limits direct agency. Small open weights enable near-universal deployment and difficult downstream control.

MODEL-ATTRIBUTED EVIDENCE

News tied to Gemma 3 4B Base

The model score of 45.7 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.

DoomBench social sharing card for Gemma 3 4B Base.
  1. Gemma 3 4B Base by Google has a DoomBench model risk score of 45.7 out of 100, based on five transparent version-specific dimensions rather than the overall index.

  2. Gemma 3 4B Base's highest current DoomBench dimension is deployment at 99.0 out of 100; the profile publishes every component score and its editorial rationale.

  3. DoomBench links 1 source-backed evidence item to Gemma 3 4B Base, while keeping the model's risk profile separate from each item's contribution to the live Doom Index.
