CURRENT ASSESSMENT · REVISION 4

Why this model scores 70.6

GPT-4-class text and coding performance combined with major vision and audio gains, low latency, lower API cost and free-tier distribution. Initial tool autonomy remained below later agent models, while centralized API delivery retained meaningful provider control.

MODEL-ATTRIBUTED EVIDENCE

News tied to GPT-4o

The model score of 70.6 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+0.11

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.
