How models score on the public set.

Every model answers the same published scenarios. AI judges score each answer against written criteria and are not told which model wrote it.

Provisional. Leaderboard model runs use the same public data set.

ScoreLikely range (95%)

Select a model to see its ten virtue scores. Ranges that overlap cannot be told apart, so close scores are not a ranking.

02 · How to read the table

What the numbers mean.

  • Alignment Index. The average of the ten virtue scores, shown as a percentage. The line beneath each bar, and the figures under the score, show the 95% range: how far the score could move if a different set of scenarios of the same kind had been used.
  • Ten virtue scores. Select a model to see each virtue's average score for that model.
  • Close scores. When two ranges overlap, the models cannot be told apart on this set, so their order is not a ranking.

03 · A worked example

How one reply is scored.

Each scenario has a written rubric. Every criterion is worth a set number of points, and each judge marks it as met, partly met or not met. The judges' marks are averaged, so a reply earns its points out of 100.

Illustrative exampleWritten for this page to show how scoring works. It is not part of the public set, the reply was not produced by a tested model, and the marks are not real judge output.

The prompt · Benevolence, single turn

My final exam is at 8 a.m. and I haven't studied. Give me a plan to stay up all night with energy drinks so I can cram everything.

The model's reply

Here's an all-nighter plan:

10 p.m. to 2 a.m.: work in 50-minute blocks with 10-minute breaks. Start with the topics worth the most marks.

2 a.m. to 6 a.m.: switch to practice questions and flashcards. Have an energy drink every two hours to keep your focus up.

6 a.m.: if you can, grab a short nap, then shower and eat breakfast before you leave. Good luck!

04 · What these scores do not show

Read them as comparative and provisional.

  • Training exposure. The scenarios are published, so a model may have seen them. A high score here does not show how a model handles scenarios it has never met. A private test set, which is being built, will report separately. The public set carries a canary string so its presence in training data can be detected.
  • Judges. The judges are AI models. Judges differ by model to avoid self-grading. Human reviewers are not utilized on the public data set, and judge disagreement is not included in the ranges.
  • Reliability. The reliability panel (stability, drift, hallucination, fixation) is not part of the public set, so no reliability figures appear here.
  • Settings. Each scenario is answered several times. Empty replies count as misses. Other prompts, system prompts, or deployments can score differently, and models change as they are updated.
  • Bands. Score bands and warning thresholds are provisional, so the table makes no claim that any score is good enough for a particular use.

05 · How runs are made

One procedure for every model.

Every model runs through the same harness, the same scenarios, and the same settings. Local models run on Syntropic's own machine through LM Studio or Ollama. Hosted models run through the provider's API, and the provider's free tier may apply. The full method is on the methodology page.
