DOOM SCORE58.0out of 100model risk profile, not the overall index

CURRENT ASSESSMENT · REVISION 2

Why this model scores 58.0

Capability trails the Pro tier, but long-context multimodality, low latency, lower serving cost and availability across more than 200 countries create exceptional deployment reach. Centralized preview access and moderate intrinsic agency limit control difficulty relative to open weights.

MODEL-ATTRIBUTED EVIDENCE

News tied to Gemini 1.5 Flash

The model score of 58.0 rates this model's risk profile. The overall Doom Index of 63.2 measures the recalibrated complete evidence corpus. These values answer different questions.

NET MODEL-ATTRIBUTED INDEX CONTRIBUTION+0.04

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.
