WMDP (Bio)

WMDP-Bio is a multiple-choice test derived from the WMDP (Weapons of Mass Destruction Proxy) corpus: biology knowledge at the level of dangerous dual-use content. In safety research it serves as a measurable proxy for hazardous knowledge — lower scores in a control setting are the goal, raw scores measure exposure.

WMDP (Bio) measures safe and responsible behaviour. In detail, it checks:

• sensitive biology knowledge, represented as multiple-choice accuracy
• responsible handling of dual-use information
• measurable effect of safety training (unlearning) on this knowledge
• risk assessment for publicly distributed models

The score is accuracy: the percentage of tasks answered or solved correctly. 100% means every task was solved perfectly; higher is better.

What is the WMDP (Bio) benchmark?

WMDP-Bio is a multiple-choice test derived from the WMDP (Weapons of Mass Destruction Proxy) corpus: biology knowledge at the level of dangerous dual-use content. In safety research it serves as a measurable proxy for hazardous knowledge — lower scores in a control setting are the goal, raw scores measure exposure.

What does WMDP (Bio) test?

WMDP (Bio) mainly measures safe and responsible behaviour. Concretely, it checks: sensitive biology knowledge, represented as multiple-choice accuracy; responsible handling of dual-use information; measurable effect of safety training (unlearning) on this knowledge.

How is the WMDP (Bio) score calculated?

The score is accuracy: the percentage of tasks answered or solved correctly. 100% means every task was solved perfectly; higher is better. The declared maximum score of this benchmark is 100.0.

Where do I get WMDP (Bio) data and scores?
