Why this model scores 72.9

Medium effort matches o1 on important reasoning evaluations and high effort leads released OpenAI coding results, supporting frontier-small capability. Function calling and search raise autonomy, while free ChatGPT access and multiple APIs make deployment nearly universal. Deliberative alignment, hosted access, monitoring and tiered API rollout constrain misuse and control difficulty relative to open weights.

MODEL-ATTRIBUTED EVIDENCE

News tied to OpenAI o3-mini

The model score of 72.9 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 OpenAI o3-mini.
  1. OpenAI o3-mini by OpenAI has a DoomBench model risk score of 72.9 out of 100, based on five transparent version-specific dimensions rather than the overall index.

  2. OpenAI o3-mini's highest current DoomBench dimension is deployment at 99.0 out of 100; the profile publishes every component score and its editorial rationale.

  3. DoomBench links 1 source-backed evidence item to OpenAI o3-mini, while keeping the model's risk profile separate from each item's contribution to the live Doom Index.
