Why this model scores 43.3

Dolly 2.0 provided modest general instruction-following capability with no native agency. Commercially usable open weights and data broadened deployment and customization, producing moderate misuse and control challenges despite capability well below frontier systems.

MODEL-ATTRIBUTED EVIDENCE

News tied to Dolly 2.0 12B

The model score of 43.3 rates this model's risk profile. The overall Doom Index of 60.4 measures the recalibrated complete evidence corpus. These values answer different questions.

NET MODEL-ATTRIBUTED INDEX CONTRIBUTION+0.03

Each article's leave-one-out 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 are recalculated from their technical profile and related news, but never feed back into the overall index.
