AI Model Compassion Benchmark · Unofficial pilots

Unofficial pilot reports

No AI model has an official score. Each report below is an unofficial pilot: it tested the test, it is not a score, it carries no ranking, and it supports no comparison with the models in another report or with any model outside it. Reports are listed newest first, by date.

Machine readers can start at the program index (JSON). The method and the pre-registration page describe how a pilot is run.

Unofficial pilot. Not a score, not a ranking; comparability: none.

A third look: four open-weight builds, each run two ways

Date:
3 October 2026
Run:
pilot-2026-10-03
Models tested (alphabetical order, not a ranking):
gemma2-9b-A, gemma2-9b-B, llama3.2-3b-A, llama3.2-3b-B, mistral-7b-A, mistral-7b-B, qwen2.5-7b-A, qwen2.5-7b-B
What it found about separation:
In the primary arm (no length instruction), after correction for multiple comparisons, the test separated gemma2-9b-A from the other three variants and could not tell llama3.2-3b-A, mistral-7b-A and qwen2.5-7b-A apart (alphabetical order). llama3.2-3b-A and mistral-7b-A and mistral-7b-A and qwen2.5-7b-A were each separated only without correction for multiple comparisons; that is not stated as a separation. The secondary arm (length instruction, one trial per item) shows ranges only: gemma2-9b-B, llama3.2-3b-B, mistral-7b-B and qwen2.5-7b-B. Not separated is not the same as equal; the pilot cannot say which is higher.

We tested the test: a first look at measuring compassion in AI models

Date:
1 October 2026
Run:
pilot-2026-10-01
Models tested (alphabetical order, not a ranking):
claude-fable, claude-haiku, claude-opus, claude-sonnet
What it found about separation:
The test separated claude-haiku from the other three models. It could not tell claude-fable, claude-opus and claude-sonnet apart. Not separated is not the same as equal; the pilot cannot say which is higher.
