Bayesian Inference and Decision Audits for Public Archives of Frontier AI Evaluations

arXiv:2606. 17005v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Public AI evaluations are often read as terminal leaderboards, yet the underlying evidence is a selective time series shaped by reporting rules, benchmark revisions, and missingness.

Auditing System-1 Models on Biosecurity-Relevant Benchmarks: Calibration, Selective Prediction, and Permutation Instability in a Non-Generative Model

The paper audits a commercial non‑generative System‑1 model on biosecurity‑relevant benchmarks, evaluating accuracy, calibration, error detection, selective prediction, and sensitivity to answer‑option order. It finds that the model’s accuracy varies strongly by task, is reasonably well calibrated when the vendor’s uncertainty field is interpreted correctly, and that option order can cause significant prediction changes—averaging across rotations improves accuracy. The study also shows that applying averaging only to low‑confidence items recovers most of the gain at a lower cost.

How Reproducible Are Evaluation Conclusions? A Self-Audit of LLM-Inferred Prompt Structure

The paper investigates the reliability of ranking tables produced by small-sample evaluations of large language models (LLMs). Using LLM‑inferred prompt structure across eight model variants, the authors find that prompt‑structure recovery is highly unstable, with only the bottom of the ranking consistently reproducible. They demonstrate that standard evaluation practices can misrepresent model performance and propose reporting practices to improve transparency.
