Why this model scores 77.1

Repository-scale code changes, tool execution and iterative testing create high practical autonomy. Preview access, isolated sandboxes and review controls limit deployment and residual control difficulty.

MODEL-ATTRIBUTED EVIDENCE

News tied to codex-1

The model score of 77.1 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+0.14

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 codex-1.
  1. codex-1 by OpenAI has a DoomBench model risk score of 77.1 out of 100, based on five transparent version-specific dimensions rather than the overall index.

  2. codex-1's highest current DoomBench dimension is autonomy at 86.0 out of 100; the profile publishes every component score and its editorial rationale.

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