Why this model scores 55.6

Higher general capability and downloadable weights increased misuse potential and residual control difficulty, while substantial hardware needs limited reach slightly relative to the 8B checkpoint.

MODEL-ATTRIBUTED EVIDENCE

News tied to Llama 3 70B Base

The model score of 55.6 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+0.05

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 Llama 3 70B Base.
  1. Llama 3 70B Base by Meta has a DoomBench model risk score of 55.6 out of 100, based on five transparent version-specific dimensions rather than the overall index.

  2. Llama 3 70B Base's highest current DoomBench dimension is deployment at 93.0 out of 100; the profile publishes every component score and its editorial rationale.

  3. DoomBench links 1 source-backed evidence item to Llama 3 70B Base, while keeping the model's risk profile separate from each item's contribution to the live Doom Index.
