Benchmark Almanac

Internal vulnerability research

Only in system cards

Agents find a vulnerability from an entry point, with or without source, then write a working exploit. Based on Google red team exercises.

In-house Google DeepMind evaluation. The tasks are not public.

Gemini 4 Argon leads with 72%

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.

Scores over time

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.

One system card reports it

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.
