SAFARI is the first industrial benchmark for evaluating large language models (LLMs) in automotive hazard analysis and risk assessment (HARA) under ISO 26262. It comprises 3,000 de‑identified HARA cases and tests two tasks: open‑ended hazard generation and standards‑grounded risk classification, using a novel reference‑anchored LLM‑as‑a‑judge protocol. Experiments with nine state‑of‑the‑art LLMs show that while hazard narratives are often plausible, risk classification remains weak (best ASIL macro‑F1 = 0.261), with errors mainly due to missing scenario context and misjudged controllability. "whyItMatters":"The benchmark highlights the current limitations of LLMs in safety‑critical engineering workflows, guiding future research and expert oversight in automotive safety analysis."

The paper investigates whether existing AI safety benchmarks, designed for large language models, are suitable for evaluating small language models (SLMs). By testing five benchmark suites on 26 open‑source SLMs with a unified scoring rubric, the authors find that ambiguous judgments dominate, especially for complex prompts and certain architectures. This ambiguity, linked to factors like lexical density and output perplexity, undermines the reliability of aggregate leaderboards and reveals a confound between model capability and perceived safety.

IFC-MCQ is a method that automatically creates multiple-choice benchmarks from Industry Foundation Class (IFC) files, enabling exact option-set grading for large language model (LLM) queries in architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC). The taxonomy spans 15 categories and 36 subtypes across four groups, with answer keys derived from the IFC file and distractors generated from file-derived values or predefined rules. Experiments on IFC models of varying sizes and characteristics revealed category-specific failure modes and highlighted how performance can differ based on the source IFC model and retrieval interface.
