CURRENT ASSESSMENT · REVISION 1

Why this model scores 58.1

Very low cost enables extreme deployment scale, while substantially lower capability and hosted restrictions constrain autonomous and misuse potential.

MODEL-ATTRIBUTED EVIDENCE

News tied to GPT-4.1 nano

The model score of 58.1 rates this model's risk profile. The overall Doom Index of 63.5 measures the recalibrated complete evidence corpus. These values answer different questions.

NET MODEL-ATTRIBUTED INDEX CONTRIBUTION+0.01

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.
