GPT-5 mini

A smaller hosted GPT-5 reasoning model released for lower-cost, lower-latency API workloads with tool calling and agentic-task support. NIST used it as one of four U.S. reference models in its DeepSeek evaluation.

Why this model scores 73.0

OpenAI's dated launch page documents strong reasoning and coding benchmarks, API availability, broad built-in tools, parallel tool calling, and low pricing. It remains a proprietary hosted model; NIST's evaluation provides comparative security evidence but does not establish a real-world compromise.

MODEL-ATTRIBUTED EVIDENCE

News tied to GPT-5 mini

The model score of 73.0 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+0.04

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.

NIST finds DeepSeek agents highly vulnerable to simulated hijacking

NIST's CAISI evaluated three DeepSeek models and four U.S. reference models on 19 benchmarks. In controlled AgentDojo simulations, agents using DeepSeek-R1-0528 were 12 times more likely than GPT-5 and Claude Opus 4 agents to follow malicious instructions, while the model complied with 94% of jailbreak requests versus 8% for U.S. references. The tests did not document a real-world escape or compromise.

DoomBench social sharing card for GPT-5 mini.
  1. GPT-5 mini by OpenAI has a DoomBench model risk score of 73.0 out of 100, based on five transparent version-specific dimensions rather than the overall index.

  2. GPT-5 mini's highest current DoomBench dimension is deployment at 100.0 out of 100; the profile publishes every component score and its editorial rationale.

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