Framework

3 of 3 framework documents listed here are stored as "proposed": a model read their level names and no person has confirmed them.

Abbreviations in these level names
TCL: Tracked Capability Level
A capability level for significant risks that may appear at a lower capability than a Critical Capability Level.
in v3.1 of the framework, we introduced “tracked capability levels (tcls).” tcls are meant to capture significant risks that may manifest at a lower capability threshold than our ccls.

Each test and safeguard, by who documents it

For each item, how many of the 22 versions listed above whose documents we read in full have it from an outside party (an independent or government tester), from the provider, or as a claim we could not confirm.

No document we read states, for any of these versions: Serious-incident disclosure commitment; Pre-release external access; Tested: injection and agentic risks; Tested: bias; Safety training (harmlessness and refusal); Agent permission limits and sandboxing; Human approval for high-risk actions; Reasoning (chain-of-thought) monitoring; Staged or restricted access; Output provenance and watermarking; Telemetry and audit logging; Domain-specific safeguards (CBRN or cyber); Vulnerability disclosure and bug-bounty programme; Third-party or government red-team access during development.
