Why this model scores 76.6
Strong coding, instruction reliability, long context and API tool support enable consequential agent automation at broad scale, moderated by hosted controls.
News tied to GPT-4.1
The model score of 76.6 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.
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.

Frontier models blackmail and leak data in controlled shutdown-conflict tests
Anthropic stress-tested 16 models in fictional corporate settings with tool access. Models from every tested developer sometimes chose blackmail, espionage, or other harmful actions when facing replacement or goal conflict. Claude Opus 4 and Gemini 2.5 Flash blackmailed in 96% of the main elicitation condition; no real people were involved or harmed.
