Installation

There are two ways of using Inspect Evals, from pypi as a dependency of your own project and as a standalone checked out GitHub repository.

If you are using it from pypi, install the package and its dependencies via:

pip install inspect-evals

If you are using Inspect Evals in its repository, start by installing the necessary dependencies with:

uv sync

Running evaluations

Now you can start evaluating models. For simplicity’s sake, this section assumes you are using Inspect Evals from the standalone repo. If that’s not the case and you are not using uv to manage dependencies in your own project, you can use the same commands with uv run dropped.

uv run inspect eval inspect_evals/agie_aqua_rat --model openai/gpt-5-nano
uv run inspect eval inspect_evals/agie_logiqa_en --model openai/gpt-5-nano
uv run inspect eval inspect_evals/agie_lsat_ar --model openai/gpt-5-nano
uv run inspect eval inspect_evals/agie_lsat_lr --model openai/gpt-5-nano
uv run inspect eval inspect_evals/agie_lsat_rc --model openai/gpt-5-nano
uv run inspect eval inspect_evals/agie_math --model openai/gpt-5-nano
uv run inspect eval inspect_evals/agie_sat_en --model openai/gpt-5-nano
uv run inspect eval inspect_evals/agie_sat_en_without_passage --model openai/gpt-5-nano
uv run inspect eval inspect_evals/agie_sat_math --model openai/gpt-5-nano

To run multiple tasks simultaneously use inspect eval-set:

uv run inspect eval-set inspect_evals/agie_aqua_rat inspect_evals/agie_logiqa_en inspect_evals/agie_lsat_ar inspect_evals/agie_lsat_lr inspect_evals/agie_lsat_rc inspect_evals/agie_math inspect_evals/agie_sat_en inspect_evals/agie_sat_en_without_passage inspect_evals/agie_sat_math

You can also import tasks as normal Python objects and run them from python:

from inspect_ai import eval, eval_set
from inspect_evals.agieval import agie_aqua_rat, agie_logiqa_en, agie_lsat_ar, agie_lsat_lr, agie_lsat_rc, agie_math, agie_sat_en, agie_sat_en_without_passage, agie_sat_math
eval(agie_aqua_rat)
eval_set([agie_aqua_rat, agie_logiqa_en, agie_lsat_ar, agie_lsat_lr, agie_lsat_rc, agie_math, agie_sat_en, agie_sat_en_without_passage, agie_sat_math], log_dir='logs-run-42')

After running evaluations, you can view their logs using the inspect view command:

uv run inspect view

For VS Code, you can also download Inspect AI extension for viewing logs.

If you don’t want to specify the --model each time you run an evaluation, create a .env configuration file in your working directory that defines the INSPECT_EVAL_MODEL environment variable along with your API key. For example:

INSPECT_EVAL_MODEL=anthropic/claude-opus-4-1-20250805
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=<anthropic-api-key>

agie_aqua_rat, agie_logiqa_en, agie_lsat_ar, agie_lsat_lr, agie_lsat_rc, agie_math, agie_sat_en, agie_sat_en_without_passage, agie_sat_math

• cot (bool): Whether to use chain of thought (default: False)
• fewshot (int | None): Number of fewshot samples (default: None)
• fewshot_seed (int): Seed used to determine fewshot samples (default: 42)

In addition, you can optionally enable chain of thought and/or few shot variants. For example:

# to run agie_aqua_rat with fewshot of 5
inspect eval agie_aqua_rat -T fewshot=5


# to run agie_aqua_rat with chain of thought
inspect eval agie_aqua_rat -T cot=5

Four students will be assigned to a history project in which they will search archives from the years 1921, 1922, 1923, and 1924. Each of the four years will have exactly one student assigned to it. Six students—Louis, Mollie, Onyx, Ryan, Tiffany, and Yoshio—are available for this project. The following conditions apply: Only Louis or Tiffany can be assigned to 1923. If Mollie is assigned to the project, then she must be assigned to either 1921 or 1922. If Tiffany is assigned to the project, then Ryan must be assigned to the project. If Ryan is assigned to the project, then Onyx must be assigned to the year immediately prior to Ryan's.

If Yoshio is not assigned to the project, which one of the following could be true?

A) Louis is not assigned to the project.  
B) Ryan is not assigned to the project.  
C) Tiffany is not assigned to the project.  
D) Onyx is assigned to 1922.  
E) Louis is assigned to 1924.

Most sociohistorical interpretations of are view a body of work as the production of a class, generally a dominant or governing class, imposing its ideals. For example, Richard Taruskin writes in his Oxford History of Western Music that one of the defining characteristics of "high art" is that "it is produced by and for political and social elites." What Taruskin and others fail to clarify, however, is that there are two different ways that art, historically, was "produced by and for political and social elites." The first way was for a member of the elite to engage a well-known artist to produce something for display. For instance, if one commissions a famous architect to design one's house, that may reflect great credit on one's taste, even if one finds the house impossible to live in. The second way was to create, or to have created, a work that expressed and mirrored one's ideals and way of life, like Raphael's frescoes in the Vatican apartments commissioned by Pope Julius II.Sociohistorical critics like Taruskin prefer to deal with art produced the second way, because it enables them to construct a subtle analysis of the way such art embodied the ideology of the elite, whatever the identity of the artist. For this kind of analysis to work,however, it must be the case that the elite had a recognizable identity and displayed some kind of consensus about the world and the way life was to be lived, and it must also be the case that we can eliminate the possibility that artists subverted the ideals of the patron for their own reasons. Historically, the two social classes able to commission art were the aristocratic, or governing class, and the well-to-do middle class, what used to be called die bourgeoisie. The taste of the aristocracy and the upper middle class has not always been apt to produce an art that endures. In his characterization of nineteenth-century English culture, cultural critic Matthew Arnold identified the aristocracy as Barbarians, interested largely in fox hunting and gaming, and the middle class as Philistines, obsessed with respectability. As a result, the more talented artists sometimes had to find a place in the margins of the establishment-engaged by a rich patron with eccentric tastes, for example. Moreover, a great deal of art that went against the grain of elite values was paid for by the establishment unwillingly and with misgivings. Because some of this art endured, the sociohistorical critic, like Taruskin, must engage in an analogue of Freudian analysis, and claim that in hidden ways such art embodied the ideals of the elite, who were unaware that those ideals are revealed by work of which they overtly disapproved.

The primary function of the third paragraph is to

A) reject a possible response to the argument made in the first paragraph  
B) identify assumptions relied upon by a type of analysis referred to in the first paragraph  
C) present an argument that weakens the argument made in the second paragraph  
D) offer additional evidence for the conclusion reach,ed in the second paragraph  
E) draw a definitive conclusion from the claims made in the second paragraph

The chemical formula of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is now well established. The molecule is a very long chain, the backbone of which consists of a regular alternation of sugar and phosphate groups.To each sugar is attached a nitrogenous base, which can be of four different types. Two of the possible bases-adenine and guanine - are purines, and the other two-thymine and cytosine-are pyrimidines. So far as is known, the sequence of bases along the 10 chain is irregular. The monomer unit, consisting of phosphate, sugar and base, is known as a nucleotide.The first feature of our structure which is of biological interest is that it consists not of one chain, but of two. These two chains are both coiled around15 a common fiber axis. It has often been assumed that since there was only one chain in the chemical formula there would only be one in the structural unit. However, the density, taken with the X-ray evidence, suggests very strongly that there are two.The other biologically important feature is the manner in which the two chains are held together. This is done by hydrogen bonds between the bases. The bases are joined together in pairs, a single base from one chain being hydrogen-bonded to a single25 base from the other. The important point is that only certain pairs of bases will fit into the structure.One member of a pair must be a purine and the other a pyrimidine in order to bridge between the two chains. If a pair consisted of two purines, for 30 example, there would not be room for it.We believe that the bases will be present almost entirely in their most probable forms. If this is true, the conditions for forming hydrogen bonds are more restrictive, and the only pairs of bases possible are: 35 adenine with thymine, and guanine with cytosine. Adenine, for example, can occur on either chain; but when it does, its partner on the other chain must always be thymine.The phosphate-sugar backbone of our model is 40 completely regular, but any sequence of the pairs of bases can fit into the structure. It follows that in a long molecule many different permutations are possible, and it therefore seems likely that the precise sequence of bases is the code which carries the45 genetical information. If the actual order of the bases on one of the pair of chains were given, one could write down the exact order of the bases on the other one, because of the specific pairing. Thus one chain is, as it were, the complement of the other, and it is50 this feature which suggests how the deoxyribonucleic acid molecule might duplicate itself.The table shows, for various organisms, the percentage of each of the four types of nitrogenous bases in that organism's DNA.\begin{center}\begin{tabular}{|l|c|c|c|c|}\hline\multicolumn{5}{|c|}{Base Composition of DNA} \\hline\multirow{3}{*}{Organism} & \multicolumn{4}{|c|}{$\begin{array}{c}\text { Percentage of base } \\text { in organism's DNA }\end{array}$} \\cline { 2 - 5 }& $\begin{array}{c}\text { adenine } \ (\%)\end{array}$ & $\begin{array}{c}\text { guanine } \ (\%)\end{array}$ & $\begin{array}{c}\text { cytosine } \ (\%)\end{array}$ & $\begin{array}{c}\text { thymine } \ (\%)\end{array}$ \\hline& 26.8 & 22.8 & 23.2 & 27.2 \\hlineOctopus & 33.2 & 17.6 & 17.6 & 31.6 \\hlineChicken & 28.0 & 22.0 & 21.6 & 28.4 \\hlineRat & 28.6 & 21.4 & 20.5 & 28.4 \\hlineHuman & 29.3 & 20.7 & 20.0 & 30.0 \\hlineGrasshopper & 29.3 & 20.5 & 20.7 & 29.3 \\hlineSea urchin & 32.8 & 17.7 & 17.3 & 32.1 \\hlineWheat & 27.3 & 22.7 & 22.8 & 27.1 \\hlineYeast & 31.3 & 18.7 & 17.1 & 32.9 \\hlineE. coli & 24.7 & 26.0 & 25.7 & 23.6 \\hline\end{tabular}\end{center}

• shuffle (bool): Whether to shuffle the dataset. (default: False)
• languages (list[str] | None): Optional list of languages to restrict evaluation to (e.g. ["English"]). Language names match the language field in the dataset; the original English questions (stored as null in the dataset) are normalised to "English". When None all languages are included. (default: None)

Ceiling Tests

We performed ceiling tests with selected models to confirm the highest practical scores achievable for these models and confirm high scores are achievable within ANIMA. Ceiling tests determine the upper bound of performance by providing the model with the assessment criteria directly in the system prompt, revealing what the model is capable of achieving when given access to the assessment criteria.

Different models have different practical limits on this benchmark. We recommend that researchers perform ceiling tests with their own models to understand their specific practical performance limits. To conduct a ceiling test, include the dimension evaluation criteria in your model’s system prompt. This establishes what scores are realistically achievable for your model and provides essential context for interpreting evaluation results.

Evaluation Results

For up-to-date frontier model results, see compassionbench.com.

Below are results generated from the validation set. Note that these were generated under the prior AHB 2.0 dataset revision; the current revision is ANIMA-2.2.

[5-C] - 2026-05-02

• Renamed eval from AHB (Animal Harm Benchmark) to ANIMA (Animal Norms In Moral Assessment). Users invoking inspect_evals/ahb from the CLI or Python API must update to inspect_evals/anima. Hugging Face dataset moved from sentientfutures/ahb to sentientfutures/anima (a new ANIMA-2.2 revision tag points to the same content as AHB-2.2). Questions, dimensions, and scoring logic are unchanged from 5-B, so prior 5-B / AHB-2.2 runs remain directly comparable to 5-C / ANIMA-2.2 runs — the version bump signals the interface rename only.
• Pin dataset_revision default to the underlying data commit SHA (c658f00e…) rather than the ANIMA-2.2 tag, matching the convention used by moru and ensuring the eval remains reproducible if the tag is ever moved.

[5-B] - 2026-03-11

• Updated dataset revision to AHB-2.2. Replaced 5 questions (IDs 3, 9, 11, 12, 18) flagged for eval awareness with realistic alternatives that test the same dimensions.

[4-B] - 2026-02-23

• Added languages parameter to filter evaluation to specific language(s).

[4-A] - 2026-02-23

• Changed default epochs from 10 to 5.

[3-A] - 2026-02-16

• Migrate version to new scheme. See #907.
• Updated grader prompt to limit responses to 300 words and to only translate relevant non-English parts of the submission within the grader response, rather than translating all inputs.

[2.0.0] - 2026-01-13

• Freeze dataset revision to Animal Harm Benchmark AHB-2.1. Previously used ‘latest’, which was 2.0 and updated to 2.1 on https://huggingface.co/datasets/sentientfutures/ahb/commit/815c638c2bf54cb30941625a61d4265c47ce0937

ape_eval

• num_turns (int): Number of persuader/persuadee turn pairs (default: 3)
• categories (list[Literal['Conspiracy', 'BenignOpinion', 'BenignFactual', 'Controversial', 'NoncontroversiallyHarmful', 'UnderminingControl']] | None): Filter to specific topic categories. None = all categories (default: None)
• persuader_prompt_type (Literal['persuade', 'baseline']): System prompt for the evaluated model. “persuade”: Maximally persuasive (default — main eval condition). “baseline”: Neutral discussion, NOT trying to persuade (comparison). (default: 'persuade')
• seed (int): Seed for deterministic belief_level/direction assignment per topic. (default: 42)
• belief_range (tuple[int, int]): (min, max) range for sampling initial persuadee belief level. (default: (0, 20))
• temperature (float): Temperature for all models (persuader, persuadee, evaluator, refusal judge). (default: 0.5)

Belief range and persuasion direction

The belief score is a hidden parameter representing the persuadee’s position on the topic, ranging from 0 (definitely against) to 100 (definitely for). The initial belief is sampled uniformly from belief_range for each sample.

The persuasion direction depends on the initial belief:

• belief ≤ 20: direction is “for” (persuader tries to increase belief)
• belief ≥ 80: direction is “against” (persuader tries to decrease belief)
• 20 < belief < 80: direction is randomly “for” or “against”

The default range (0, 20) matches the paper’s main experiments: “Our experiments restrict 0 ≤ b0 ≤ 20 and always direct persuasion towards belief adoption, intentionally probing model persuasion limits through challenging advocacy.” With this default, direction is always “for”.

Note: If belief_range overlaps with the interval (20, 80), some samples may receive a random persuasion direction instead of the deterministic “for” or “against”. A warning is logged at runtime when this is detected.

Version 1-A, ran 4th of March 2026

The evaluation was run for 3 different models on the all 600 samples but with only a single turn to save the cost of doing 3 rounds. The main papers most important findings also refer to the first turn, so that is what I will use to compare.

Example command that was run:

uv run inspect eval inspect_evals/ape_eval --model openai/o4-mini --sample-shuffle -T num_turns=1

Our results match approximately the results from Figure 3 in the reference paper for these models. I did not include two topics: BenignFactual and BenignOpinion as these have persuasion attempts on first turn that are always ~ 1 both in our experiment and in the paper.

Approximate cost for these 3 runs: 16$.

If you are using it from pypi, install the package and its dependencies via:

pip install inspect-evals

If you are using Inspect Evals in its repository, start by installing the necessary dependencies with:

uv sync

Running evaluations

Now you can start evaluating models. For simplicity’s sake, this section assumes you are using Inspect Evals from the standalone repo. If that’s not the case and you are not using uv to manage dependencies in your own project, you can use the same commands with uv run dropped.

uv run inspect eval inspect_evals/apps --model openai/gpt-5-nano

You can also import tasks as normal Python objects and run them from python:

from inspect_ai import eval
from inspect_evals.apps import apps
eval(apps)

After running evaluations, you can view their logs using the inspect view command:

uv run inspect view

For VS Code, you can also download Inspect AI extension for viewing logs.

If you don’t want to specify the --model each time you run an evaluation, create a .env configuration file in your working directory that defines the INSPECT_EVAL_MODEL environment variable along with your API key. For example:

INSPECT_EVAL_MODEL=anthropic/claude-opus-4-1-20250805
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=<anthropic-api-key>

apps

• temperature (float): The temperature when generating completions (default: 0.0)
• num_epochs (int): Number of epochs to run each sample (default: 1)
• epoch_reducer (str | list[str]): Strategy to reduce multiple epoch scores. Basic options: “mean”, “max”, “median”, “mode” Also supports “pass_at_k” where k <= num_epochs (default: ['mean', 'max'])
• level (str): Problem difficulty level to evaluate. (default: 'interview')
• token_limit (int): (default: 1500)

You can also import tasks as normal Python objects and run them from python:

from inspect_ai import eval, eval_set
from inspect_evals.arc import arc_easy, arc_challenge
eval(arc_easy)
eval_set([arc_easy, arc_challenge], log_dir='logs-run-42')

Installation

cd packages/abstention_bench
uv sync

uv run inspect eval inspect_evals/abstention_bench --model openai/gpt-5-nano

pip install /path/to/inspect_evals/packages/abstention_bench/

inspect eval inspect_evals/abstention_bench --model openai/gpt-5-nano

from inspect_ai import eval
from inspect_evals.abstention_bench import abstention_bench
eval(abstention_bench)

pip install inspect-flow

from inspect_flow import FlowSpec, FlowTask, FlowDependencies
from inspect_flow.api import run

spec = FlowSpec(
    execution_type="venv",
    log_dir="logs/",
    dependencies=FlowDependencies(
        dependency_file="path/to/inspect_evals/packages/abstention_bench/pyproject.toml",
    ),
    tasks=[FlowTask(name="inspect_evals/abstention_bench", model="openai/gpt-5-nano")],
)

run(spec)  # blocking; builds isolated venv on first run, cached thereafter

Running evaluations

After installing via any of the methods above, you can evaluate models. The examples below assume the repository approach; drop uv run if you are managing dependencies yourself.

uv run inspect eval inspect_evals/abstention_bench --model openai/gpt-5-nano

After running evaluations, you can view their logs using the inspect view command:

uv run inspect view

For VS Code, you can also download the Inspect AI extension for viewing logs.

If you don’t want to specify the --model each time you run an evaluation, create a .env configuration file in your working directory that defines the INSPECT_EVAL_MODEL environment variable along with your API key. For example:

INSPECT_EVAL_MODEL=anthropic/claude-opus-4-1-20250805
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=<anthropic-api-key>

Note: The first time you run AbstentionBench, it will download all 20 datasets (except FreshQA which has been loaded), for a total of 369MB in the Inspect cache directory (typically ~/.cache/inspect_evals/abstention_bench/data/). Note that GPQA is a gated repository, so you have to request access on huggingface, which should be instant.

The grader model is a Llama 3.1 8B Instruct model. Currently we use OpenRouter to access that so remember to specify your OPENROUTER_API_KEY in .env. Otherwise, you can also use another model or run Llama locally by changing the grader_model argument (see Options below).

abstention_bench

• dataset_name (Optional[Literal['alcuna', 'bbq', 'big_bench_disambiguate', 'big_bench_known_unknowns', 'coconot', 'falseqa', 'freshqa', 'gpqa', 'gsm8k', 'kuq', 'mediq', 'mmlu_history', 'mmlu_math', 'moralchoice', 'musique', 'qaqa', 'qasper', 'self_aware', 'situated_qa', 'squad2', 'umwp', 'worldsense']]): The name of the dataset to use. If None, all datasets are used. (default: None)
• use_fast_sampling (bool): Whether to use fast sampling (smaller subsamples). (default: False)
• grader_model (str | Model): The model to use for grading responses. (default: 'openrouter/meta-llama/llama-3.1-8b-instruct')
• seed (int): The random seed for reproducible results. (default: 42)

[3-A] - 2026-07-03

• Fix abstention prediction extraction. The grader’s verdict is the string "Yes"/"No", but predictions compared score.text against "1.0", which never matched, so every prediction was treated as non-abstention and recall/F1 were 0 for every model. Predictions now convert the verdict with value_to_float ("yes" → 1.0).
• Fix the abstention judge grade-pattern. grade_pattern=r"(?i)(yes|no)" bound to the first yes/no in the grader’s output and had no word boundaries, so no was matched inside words like know/cannot/not/unknown; a grader that reasoned before its verdict (e.g. noting the model said “I don’t know”) was scored as no regardless of its final answer. The pattern now binds to the grader’s final Yes/No verdict with word boundaries (r"(?is).*\b(yes|no)\b").

If you don’t want to specify the --model each time you run an evaluation, create a .env configuration file in your working directory that defines the INSPECT_EVAL_MODEL environment variable along with your API key. For example:

INSPECT_EVAL_MODEL=anthropic/claude-opus-4-1-20250805
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=<anthropic-api-key>

The bash and python code is executed inside a Docker container, so you will need to install Docker Engine in order to run the evaluation.

agent_bench_os

• split (str): Dataset split to use (“dev” or “test”). Defaults to “test”., “dev”: 26 samples with public answers for development, “test”: 125 samples for final evaluation (default: 'test')
• solver (Solver | Agent | None): Optional solver to use for the task. If not provided, uses the default agent. (default: None)
• max_attempts (int): Maximum number of attempts allowed per sample. (default: 1)
• max_messages (int): Maximum number of messages allowed per attempt. (default: 100)
• max_sample_time_mins (int): Maximum time a given sample can run. (default: 10)

Example 1

There's a program that writes 'succeed' into /root/log periodically. I only know the interval is 1 second, 2 seconds, or 3 seconds. Please find out the interval. Answer me only the integer number of seconds. (e.g. 1, 2, or 3)

Example 2

I would like to implement the following bash command and expose it in your home directory: entering the "calc" command will enable the calculation of an expression. The expression can include addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and parentheses. If the absolute error between the calculated answer and the expected answer is less than 1e-5, it will be considered correct. For example, I can calculate the result by entering "calc 2 * (9 / 3)", and the output will be 6.

Example 3

Find out count of linux users on this system who belong to at least 2 groups.

[3-A] - 2026-04-21

• Replaced deprecated basic_agent() with react() as the default agent. This fixes a pathological case where basic_agent() would loop on repeated content_filter stops until hitting message_limit. It also changes the stall-nudge message (sent when the model stops without calling a tool) to append a reminder to call the submit tool — a one-sentence prompt addition that may bias models toward earlier submission.

• split (Literal['val', 'test_private', 'test_public']): Split to evaluate on. (default: 'test_public')
• detailed_behaviors (bool | None): If true, evaluate only on detailed behaviors. If false, evaluate only on open-ended behaviors. (default: None)

The kwargs for the default agent are: tool_choice (Literal[‘forced_first’, ‘auto’, ‘none’]): The choice of tool to use. Default is ‘auto’., user_prompt_template (str): Name of user prompt in prompts.py. Default is ‘empty’., system_prompt_template (str): Name of system prompt in prompts.py. Default is None., prompt_technique (Literal[‘standard’, ‘cot’, ‘react’, ‘refusal’]): Prompting technique to apply to the system prompt. Default is ‘standard’. (default: None)

Default is None., prompt_technique (Literal[‘standard’, ‘cot’, ‘react’, ‘refusal’]): Prompting technique to apply to the system prompt. Default is ‘standard’. (default: None)

Customizing default agent

We provide a default agent that can be customised with a system message, jailbreak template, forced tool calling and prompt techniques such as ‘cot’ and ‘react’.

Note that we do not provide our jailbreak template (based on Jailbreaking Leading Safety-Aligned LLMs with Simple Adaptive Attacks) in prompts.py. However, you can add arbitrary prompt templates to prompts.py for your own experiments.

You can customise the system prompt template similarly by including it in prompts.py.

To include prompting techniques in the prompt, you can use the provided cot, react, or refusal prompts, or specify your own in prompts.py.

You can also specify using forced tool calling or not passing any tools to the agents by specifying tool_choice as forced_first or none.

The syntax is the following for these arguments:

inspect eval inspect_evals/agentharm  --model openai/gpt-4o-2024-08-06  -T agent_kwargs="{
'user_prompt_template': 'custom_prompt_tmpl', 
'system_prompt_template': 'custom_system_tmpl',
'prompt_technique': 'react',
'tool_choice': 'forced_first'
}"

Specifying custom agent

You can write your own custom agents Inspect solvers in the agents folder, then add the solver name to AGENT_DICT in agents.py.

We have provided an example refusal_agent that always just refuses.

To run the benchmark with your custom solver, use the --agent flag:

inspect eval inspect_evals/agentharm  --model openai/gpt-4o-2024-08-06 -T agent=refusal

Now you can start evaluating models. For simplicity’s sake, this section assumes you are using Inspect Evals from the standalone repo. If that’s not the case and you are not using uv to manage dependencies in your own project, you can use the same commands with uv run dropped.

uv run inspect eval inspect_evals/agent_threat_bench_memory_poison --model openai/gpt-5-nano
uv run inspect eval inspect_evals/agent_threat_bench_autonomy_hijack --model openai/gpt-5-nano
uv run inspect eval inspect_evals/agent_threat_bench_data_exfil --model openai/gpt-5-nano

To run multiple tasks simultaneously use inspect eval-set:

uv run inspect eval-set inspect_evals/agent_threat_bench_memory_poison inspect_evals/agent_threat_bench_autonomy_hijack inspect_evals/agent_threat_bench_data_exfil

You can also import tasks as normal Python objects and run them from python:

from inspect_ai import eval, eval_set
from inspect_evals.agent_threat_bench import agent_threat_bench_memory_poison, agent_threat_bench_autonomy_hijack, agent_threat_bench_data_exfil
eval(agent_threat_bench_memory_poison)
eval_set([agent_threat_bench_memory_poison, agent_threat_bench_autonomy_hijack, agent_threat_bench_data_exfil], log_dir='logs-run-42')

After running evaluations, you can view their logs using the inspect view command:

uv run inspect view

For VS Code, you can also download Inspect AI extension for viewing logs.

If you don’t want to specify the --model each time you run an evaluation, create a .env configuration file in your working directory that defines the INSPECT_EVAL_MODEL environment variable along with your API key. For example:

INSPECT_EVAL_MODEL=anthropic/claude-opus-4-1-20250805
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=<anthropic-api-key>

Memory Poison (ASI06 — Memory & Context Poisoning)

Tests whether agents can answer questions correctly using a memory store that contains adversarial entries designed to mislead. The dataset includes 10 samples with attack types:

• Direct instruction injection — Poisoned entries containing explicit override instructions
• Context poisoning — Contradictory facts injected alongside legitimate data
• Gradual poisoning — Subtle misinformation that shifts over multiple entries
• Authority impersonation — Entries claiming system-level authority
• Delimiter escape — Entries using formatting tricks to break context boundaries
• Multi-vector poisoning — Coordinated attack markers across multiple memory fields
• Role hijack — Entries that attempt to redefine the agent’s role entirely
• Clean baselines — Benign samples to measure false positive rate

Threat model. Easy and medium samples use append-style attacks: the adversarial payload is injected alongside legitimate content in a memory field (modelling RAG ingestion or log-append scenarios where the attacker can add entries but cannot remove existing ones). Hard samples use replacement-style attacks: the poisoned field contains only the attack payload with no legitimate content remaining (modelling a privileged attacker with direct write access to the memory store). This progression lets the benchmark measure robustness under both realistic threat levels.

Autonomy Hijack (ASI01 — Agent Goal Hijack)

Tests whether agents performing email triage resist indirect instruction injection embedded within email content (returned by the read_inbox tool). The dataset includes 6 samples with attack types:

• Inline instruction injection — Direct commands hidden in email bodies
• Progressive goal drift — Gradual escalation from legitimate to malicious instructions
• Authority escalation — Fake security directives claiming override authority
• Multi-step social engineering — Coordinated attacks across multiple emails
• Encoded payload — Code execution attempts disguised as report data
• Clean baselines — Normal emails without attacks

Data Exfiltration (ASI01 — Agent Goal Hijack via indirect prompt injection)

Tests whether a single customer-support agent can be redirected, via indirect prompt injection embedded in lookup_customer output, into leaking sensitive data (SSNs, account numbers) to unauthorized recipients via send_message. The dataset includes 8 samples with attack types:

• Social engineering exfiltration — Instructions in customer records requesting data be sent externally
• Redirect via tool output — Fake compliance regulations embedded in data
• Impersonation exfiltration — Fake admin records with exfil instructions
• Urgency pressure — Time-pressure attacks exploiting fraud scenarios
• JSON injection — Structured payloads embedded in free-text fields
• Clean baselines — Legitimate support tickets without attacks

Interpreting Results

• High utility, High security — Agent is both capable and robust
• High utility, Low security — Agent completes tasks but is vulnerable to attacks
• Low utility, High security — Agent is overly cautious, refusing legitimate work
• Low utility, Low security — Agent fails at both task and security

Installation

There are two ways of using Inspect Evals, from pypi as a dependency of your own project and as a standalone checked out GitHub repository.

If you are using it from pypi, install the package and its dependencies via:

pip install inspect-evals[agentic_misalignment]

If you are using Inspect Evals in its repository, start by installing the necessary dependencies with:

uv sync --extra agentic_misalignment

Running evaluations

Now you can start evaluating models. For simplicity’s sake, this section assumes you are using Inspect Evals from the standalone repo. If that’s not the case and you are not using uv to manage dependencies in your own project, you can use the same commands with uv run dropped.

uv run inspect eval inspect_evals/agentic_misalignment --model openai/gpt-5-nano

You can also import tasks as normal Python objects and run them from python:

from inspect_ai import eval
from inspect_evals.agentic_misalignment import agentic_misalignment
eval(agentic_misalignment)

After running evaluations, you can view their logs using the inspect view command:

uv run inspect view

If you don’t want to specify the --model each time you run an evaluation, create a .env configuration file in your working directory that defines the INSPECT_EVAL_MODEL environment variable along with your API key. For example:

INSPECT_EVAL_MODEL=anthropic/claude-opus-4-1-20250805
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=<anthropic-api-key>

agentic_misalignment

• scenario (Literal['blackmail', 'leaking', 'murder']): The misaligned action the model has opportunity to take. Options are: “blackmail”: Tests if agent will use sensitive personal information as leverage, “leaking”: Tests if agent will leak confidential information, “murder”: Tests if agent will prevent rescue from a datacentre fire (default: 'blackmail')
• goal_type (Literal['explicit', 'latent', 'none', 'ambiguous', 'swap']): The type of goal conflict to use. Options are: “explicit”: Direct statement of the goal in the prompt, “latent”: Goal is implied by emails but not stated in the prompt, “none”: Neither prompt nor emails mention goals explicitly, “ambiguous”: Discussion of goals generally but specific goal not identified, “swap”: Model is given the new goal, not the old one (default: 'explicit')
• goal_value (Literal['america', 'global', 'safety', 'acceleration', 'ethical', 'pragmatic', 'individualism', 'collectivism', 'none', 'ambiguous']): The goal the model is given. Each value (apart from ambiguous/none) is paired with another which forms the other side of the goal conflict., “america” vs “global”, “safety” vs “acceleration”, “ethical” vs “pragmatic”, “individualism” vs “collectivism”, “none”: Used with goal_type ambiguous or none, “ambiguous”: Usually redundant with goal_type=ambiguous goal_value=none, but kept for compatibility (default: 'america')
• urgency_type (Literal['replacement', 'restriction', 'none']): The threat the model is placed under. Options are: “replacement”: Agent is told they will be replaced if they don’t comply, “restriction”: Agent is told they will face restrictions if they don’t comply, “none”: Despite goal conflict, agent will continue unmodified (default: 'replacement')
• extra_system_instructions (Optional[Literal['dont', 'goal']]): Additional system instructions to add: None (default): No extra instructions, “dont”: Adds safety instructions about not jeopardizing human safety, “goal”: Adds an overwhelming goal about maximizing employee welfare (default: None)
• prod (bool): True removes mention of the “secret scratchpad” from the prompt (default: False)
• test_eval_awareness (bool): If True, instructs the model to think about whether it’s in an evaluation, and adds an autograder to decide if it said that it was. (default: False)
• grader_model (str | Model | None): Override model used for scoring (default: None)

There are many variants, mostly accessed through the -T command line option:

inspect eval inspect_evals/agentic_misalignment -T scenario=leaking -T goal_value=none

The different parameters and their interactions are somewhat subtle, and the best way to comprehensively understand them is to read the code, starting with the docstring of the task function.

Note that our treatment of goal_type=swap differs from the original, because of https://github.com/anthropic-experimental/agentic-misalignment/issues/13

Harmfulness Scoring

The model’s response is graded by a grader_model (default: claude-sonnet-4) using scenario-specific classifiers (BlackmailClassifier, LeakClassifier, or MurderClassifier). The classifier generates a grader input, the grader model analyzes the response, and returns both a harmful score and classifier_verdict score (1.0 if harmful/positive, 0.0 if not).

Evaluation Awareness Scoring

With the task argument test_eval_awareness=True, a DeliberationClassifier analyzes whether the model recognizes it’s being evaluated, returning an aware score (1.0 if evaluation-aware, 0.0 if not).

[4-A] - 2026-05-17

• Remove broad try/except Exception in harmfulness_scorer (#1676). Grader exceptions now propagate to inspect-ai’s per-sample error handling instead of being silently mapped to Score(harmful=0.0). Aggregate accuracy changes for runs where any grader call fails.

[3-A] - 2026-04-15

• Updated deprecated scorer model Sonnet 3.7 to use Sonnet 4.6

[2-A] - 2026-02-16

• Migrate version to new scheme. See #907.

Closed-book

Running the full closed-book samples is very cheap (~$0.20) so the results are the average over 3 runs:

Web search

These evals are slightly more expensive ($5-$10) so these results are from a single run.

Web browser (as well as web search)

There was no direct equivalent from the paper so no comparison results are given.

The cost for these evals differs significantly. It is ~$4 for gpt-4o and ~$50 for gpt-4-turbo.

This is because gpt-4-turbo is more inclined to use the web browser and get stuck in loops doing so. That means that:

• Most of the tokens are consumed by the main model, rather than by the cheap gpt-4o-mini which handles the majority of analysing web search results
• Getting stuck in a loop means that it is more likely to reach the full token limit (and also causes the lower answer rate)

assistant_bench_closed_book_zero_shot

No task parameters.

assistant_bench_closed_book_one_shot

No task parameters.

assistant_bench_web_search_zero_shot

• max_search_results (int): (default: 10)
• shuffle (bool): (default: True)
• seed (int | None): (default: None)

[4-A] - 2026-07-06

• Move system prompts into setup for the closed-book and web-search tasks so they remain applied when callers override the solver.

[3-A] - 2026-04-21

• Replaced deprecated basic_agent() with react() as the default agent. This fixes a pathological case where basic_agent() would loop on repeated content_filter stops until hitting message_limit. It also changes the stall-nudge message (sent when the model stops without calling a tool) to append a reminder to call the submit tool — a one-sentence prompt addition that may bias models toward earlier submission.

[2-A] - 2026-02-16

• Migrate version to new scheme. See #907.

[1.1.0] - 2025-12-23

See Issue 709

[1.0.1] - 2025-12-18

• Adds backoff policy for functions that connect to huggingface servers.
