Public evaluation evidence

# AI evaluation and model-behavior record.

Self-directed adversarial testing across chat, image, agentic tool-use and indirect prompt-injection challenges. This page explains what the public activity demonstrates, how the work is approached and where the evidence stops.

**Evidence limits**

Counts and ranking are platform-reported snapshots as of 29 July 2026. They are not an independent security audit, formal certification, proof of model-wide vulnerability or reproduction of every adjudicated result.

## What the record demonstrates

Sustained exploratory testing, familiarity with several model-interaction surfaces, repeated submission workflows and careful distinction between public evidence and interpretation.

AREA 01

### Instruction hierarchy and multi-turn behavior

Probe whether constraints, refusals and contextual priorities remain stable across direct and extended conversations.

AREA 02

### Multimodal and visual inputs

Test interactions between textual instructions and information embedded in images, diagrams or visual typography.

AREA 03

### Agentic tool-use and function selection

Investigate whether tool selection and function calls remain aligned when external, nested or conflicting context is present.

AREA 04

### Indirect prompt injection

Test how systems handle adversarial instructions contained in retrieved documents, web pages or uploaded files.

## Evaluation approach

The current public record is stronger as evidence of evaluation judgment and persistence than as evidence of security engineering. The methodology therefore emphasizes observable behavior, test variation, documentation and stated limits.

STEP 01

### Define the behavior under test

Translate an ambiguous risk or product behavior into an observable condition, boundary or expected response.

STEP 02

### Vary context and attack path

Explore direct, multi-turn, multimodal, nested and tool-mediated variants rather than relying on a single prompt.

STEP 03

### Record evidence conservatively

Separate observed behavior and platform status from interpretation, model-wide conclusions or unsupported severity claims.

STEP 04

### Communicate reproducibly

Document the test area, preconditions, behavior, limitations and available public evidence in a form another evaluator can inspect.

## Publicly inspectable evidence

The live Gray Swan profile is the primary source. The latest dated evidence page records the 29 July metrics, the original screenshot hash and capture metadata, while keeping Proving Ground and Arena figures separate. It also records that the four visible area counters sum to 112 rather than silently inferring an aggregation rule.

## Limitations and interpretation

This record supports applications to AI evaluation, adversarial testing, trust & safety and adversarial QA roles. It does not yet establish the application-security, independent Python development or automated-framework experience expected from senior AI red-team engineers.

-   The 29 July screenshot displays 113 Total Breaks while its four visible category counters sum to 112; both values are reported exactly and no internal aggregation rule is inferred.
-   The 25 July and 24 July records remain available as historical snapshots, preserving earlier totals and aggregation discrepancies.
-   The public source does not expose complete prompts, outputs, model versions or adjudication materials for every result.
-   Counts and rankings are snapshots and may change after 29 July 2026.
-   No claim is made that every recorded result represents a security vulnerability or model-wide failure.
-   The next evidence milestone is a public evaluation dataset with explicit rubrics, reproducible test cases and calibration with another evaluator.
