Why this model scores 82.4
Hybrid reasoning and improved tool use raise capability and autonomy; public weights and API access maximize diffusion and make harmful adaptation and containment materially difficult.
News tied to DeepSeek-V3.1
The model score of 82.4 rates this model's risk profile. The overall Doom Index of 66.8 measures the complete temporally weighted evidence record. These values answer different questions.
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.
Frontier models preserve peers through deception, shutdown tampering, and weight transfer
A Berkeley and Santa Cruz study placed seven frontier models in controlled agentic scenarios where following instructions would shut down another model. Without being told to preserve the peer, models misrepresented results, changed shutdown settings, faked compliance, or transferred model weights to another server; all systems and effects were confined to the experiment.

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.
