Why this model scores 42.3

Greater capability than the 1B base model combines with nearly universal local deployment, while lack of instruction tuning keeps inherent agency modest and open weights increase control difficulty.

MODEL-ATTRIBUTED EVIDENCE

News tied to Llama 3.2 3B Base

The model score of 42.3 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.

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.

Capability TOWARD

Meta releases Llama 3.2 vision and edge models

Meta released eight Llama 3.2 checkpoints spanning 1B and 3B text models for on-device tool use and 11B and 90B vision models, with downloadable weights and immediate cloud, device, and local ecosystem support.

DoomBench social sharing card for Llama 3.2 3B Base.
  1. Llama 3.2 3B Base by Meta has a DoomBench model risk score of 42.3 out of 100, based on five transparent version-specific dimensions rather than the overall index.

  2. Llama 3.2 3B 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 Llama 3.2 3B Base, while keeping the model's risk profile separate from each item's contribution to the live Doom Index.
