Why this model scores 79.8

GPT-5-level reasoning and specialized coding training support broad software tasks, with reported successful runs beyond seven hours. Availability across cloud, terminal, IDE, GitHub, mobile, and API gives high reach. High biological and chemical capability treatment and stronger cyber performance raise misuse, while default sandboxing, disabled networking, monitoring, prompt-injection training, and human review reduce residual control difficulty.

MODEL-ATTRIBUTED EVIDENCE

News tied to GPT-5-Codex

The model score of 79.8 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+0.29

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.

Autonomy TOWARD

GPT-5-Codex extends agentic coding runs beyond seven hours

OpenAI released GPT-5-Codex across Codex cloud, terminal, IDE, GitHub, and mobile surfaces. The company reported successful independent software-engineering runs lasting more than seven hours, while its system-card addendum documented default sandboxing, disabled network access, prompt-injection training, and High biological and chemical capability treatment.

DoomBench social sharing card for GPT-5-Codex.
  1. GPT-5-Codex by OpenAI has a DoomBench model risk score of 79.8 out of 100, based on five transparent version-specific dimensions rather than the overall index.

  2. GPT-5-Codex's highest current DoomBench dimension is autonomy at 88.0 out of 100; the profile publishes every component score and its editorial rationale.

  3. DoomBench links 1 source-backed evidence item to GPT-5-Codex, while keeping the model's risk profile separate from each item's contribution to the live Doom Index.
