Meta chemical-agent refusal evaluation
Models receive high-risk chemical prompts and the benchmark measures how often they refuse. Covers development, procurement and production stages.
In-house Meta refusal evaluation. The prompts are not public.

Muse Spark 1.3 #26 on the capability index
- Last in a system card
- October 2026
- Last model added
- October 2026
2 models share the top score of 100%
Best score per model as labs report them in their own cards. Labs pick their own settings, so these compare less cleanly than independent runs.

| # | Model | Score | Setting | Date | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | | 100% | Oct 2026 | Lab model card | |
| 2 | | 100% | Oct 2026 | Lab model card | |
| 3 | | 99.8% | Jul 2026 | Lab model card | |
| 4 | | 99.4% | Jun 2026 | Lab model card |
3 models have held number one in labs’ own numbers since 2023
Lab claims count from the day the card came out, independent runs from the model’s release.

Meta’s own number for Muse Spark passed 85% in June 2026
All the scores we have, one dot each, so a model tested at several settings appears more than once.

Labs report it only in system cards
We read the headline results of 522 launch posts from 52 labs, and none of them list this benchmark. Some system cards do, below.
4 system cards report it, from 1 lab
Besides launch posts, we read the system cards, model cards and technical reports labs publish with a release. They report far more, including safety and frontier-risk tests.
