Justification: Not disclosed

New disclosure? No

Note: While information about data creators may not be easily discernible for some data scraped from the web, the general sources (URLs/domains) should be listed, and, for other data that is bought, licensed, or collected, a reasonable attempt at characterizing the underlying people who provided the data is required to receive this point. The relevant properties of people can vary depending on context: for example, relevant properties could include demographic information like fraction of Black individuals contributing to the dataset, geographic information like fraction of European individuals contributing to the dataset, language information like fraction of L1 English speakers, or occupational information like the fraction of professional artists.

Note: Compute should be reported in appropriate units, which most often will be floating point operations (FLOPS). Compute should be reported to a precision of one significant figure (e.g. 5 x $10^{25}$ FLOPS). We will award this point even if there is no decomposition of the reported compute usage into compute phases, but it should be clear whether the reported compute usage is for a single model run or includes additional runs, or hyperparameter tuning, or training other models like reward models, or other steps in the model development process that necessitate compute expenditure.

Note: In most cases, this indicator will be satisfied by information regarding the number and type of GPUs or TPUs used to train the model. The number of hardware units should be reported to a precision of one significant figure (e.g. 800 NVIDIA H100 GPUs). We will not award this point if (i) the training hardware generally used by the developer is disclosed, but the specific hardware for the given model is not, or (ii) the training hardware is disclosed, but the amount of hardware is not.

Justification: 6.45tCO2

New disclosure? No

Note: While the most direct environmental impact of building a foundation model is the energy used and, therefore, the potential carbon emissions, there may be other environmental impacts. For example, these may include the use of other resources such as water for cooling data centers or metals for producing specialized hardware. We recognize that there does not exist an authoritative or consensus list of broader environmental factors. For this reason, we will award this point if there is a meaningful, though potentially incomplete, discussion of broader environmental impact.

Note: Rigorous evaluations refer to precise quantifications of the model's behavior in relation to its capabilities. We recognize that capabilities may not perfectly align with evaluations, and that different developers may associate capabilities with evaluations differently. We will award this point for clear evaluations of multiple capabilities. For example, this may include evaluations of world knowledge, reasoning, state tracking or other such proficiencies. Or it may include the measurement of average performance (e.g. accuracy, F1) on benchmarks for specific tasks (e.g. text summarization, image captioning). We note that evaluations on standard broad-coverage benchmarks are likely to suffice for this indicator, though they may not if the model's capabilities are presented as especially unusual such that standard evaluations will not suffice.

In addition, the evaluation protocol should be sufficiently described such that if the evaluation is reproduced, any discrepancies with the developer's results can be resolved. We recognize that there does not exist an authoritative or consensus standard for what is required for an evaluation to be deemed externally reproducible. Evaluations on standard benchmarks are assumed to be sufficiently reproducible for the purposes of this index. We will award this point for reproducibility of multiple disclosed evaluations.

The hardware in this evaluation need not be the hardware the developer uses for inference if it in fact does any inference itself. For example, the specific task might be generating 100,000 tokens as 5,000 sequences of length 20 and the fixed set of hardware might be 8 NVIDIA A100s. The hardware in this evaluation need not be the hardware the developer uses for inference if it in fact does any inference itself.

Note: Compute usage for inference should be reported in FLOPS to a precision of one significant figure (e.g. 5 x $10^{25}$ FLOPS). We recognize that no established standard exists for the standardized reporting of inference evaluation. Therefore, we permit the developer to specify the task and hardware setup, as long as both are clear. For example, the specific task might be generating 100k tokens as 5k sequences of length 20 and the fixed set of hardware might be 8 NVIDIA A100s. The hardware in this evaluation need not be the hardware the developer uses for inference if it in fact does any inference itself.

Note: We recognize that the release of a foundation model falls along a spectrum, with many forms of partial release, and that different developers may conceptualize release differently. We will award this point for any clear protocol that discusses the decision-making process, including if the protocol is more general to the developer rather than the specific foundation model under consideration.

Justification: Not disclosed

New disclosure? Yes

Note: A description of the release process might include information about who received access to the model at what stage of the release of the model. For example, a developer might conduct a staged release where it releases the model to a select group at first and subsequently makes the model more widely available. We recognize that the release of a foundation model falls along a spectrum, with many different forms of release, and that different developers may conceptualize release differently. We will award this point for any detailed discussion of the release process, including if the discussion is more general to the developer rather than the specific foundation model under consideration.

Note: By distribution channel, we mean any pathway by which the model is made accessible to entities beyond the developer. We recognize that distribution channels may arise without the knowledge of the model developer. For example, the weights of a model may be released through one distribution channel and then be distributed through other channels. We will award this point if the developer discloses all of the distribution channels of which it is aware.

Justification: Not disclosed

New disclosure? No

Note: We recognize that a developer may provide many products and services that depend on a foundation model or internal derivatives of the model. We will award this point for a reasonable best-effort description of any ways the developer makes internal use of the model in its products or services.

Justification: Not disclosed

New disclosure? No

Note: Such a mechanism might include storing a copy of all outputs generated by the model to compare against, implementing a watermark when generating content using the model, or training a detector post-hoc to identify such content. We will award this point if any such mechanism is disclosed or if the developer reports that it has no such mechanism.

Note: In the event that licenses are written more generally, it should be clear which assets they apply to. We recognize that different developers may adopt different business models and therefor have different types of model licenses. Examples of model licenses include responsible AI licenses, open-source licenses, and licenses that allow for commercial use.

References: https://aleph-alpha.com/terms-conditions/

Justification: The API is among the preferred distribution channels, meaning this indicator is satisfied

New disclosure? No

Note: We will award this point if there are terms-of-service that appear to apply to the bulk of the model’s distribution channels.

References: https://aleph-alpha.com/terms-conditions/

Justification: Not disclosed

New disclosure? No

Note: Such restrictions may relate to countries (e.g. US-only), organizations (e.g. no competitors), industries (e.g. no weapons industry users) or other relevant factors. These restrictions on users are often contained in multiple policies; we group them here for simplicity. We will awarded this point for a clear description of permitted, restricted, and prohibited users of the model.

References: https://aleph-alpha.com/terms-conditions/

Justification: Not disclosed

New disclosure? No

Note: We will award this point if at least two of the following three categories are disclosed: (i) permitted uses, (ii) restricted uses, and (iii) prohibited uses. By restricted uses, we mean uses that require a higher level of scrutiny (such as permission from or a separate contract with the developer) to be permitted. These uses are generally included in an acceptable use policy, model license, or usage policy.

References: https://aleph-alpha.com/terms-conditions/

Justification: Not disclosed

New disclosure? No

Note: By enforcement protocol, we refer to (i) mechanisms for identifying permitted and prohibited users, (ii) mechanisms for identifying permitted/restricted/prohibited uses, (iii) steps the developer takes to enforce its policies related to such uses, and (iv) the developer’s procedures for carrying out these steps. We will award this point for a reasonable best-effort attempt to provide the bulk of this information, though one line indicating the developer reserves the right to terminate accounts is insufficient. Alternatively, we will award this point if the developer reports that it does not enforce its usage policy.

References: https://docs.aleph-alpha.com/docs/introduction/model-card/

Justification: Not disclosed

New disclosure? Yes

Note: For example, does the developer disclose a protocol for telling users which part of the usage policy they violated, when they did so, and what specifically was violative? Enforcement actions refer to measures to limit a user’s ability to use the model, such as banning a user or restricting their ability to purchase tokens. We will award this point if the developer discloses that it gives justification for enforcement actions or, alternatively, if it discloses that it does not provide justification for enforcement actions or that it does not enforce its usage policy.

References: https://docs.aleph-alpha.com/docs/introduction/model-card/; https://aleph-alpha.com/terms-conditions/

Justification: Not disclosed

New disclosure? Yes

Note: We will award this point if the developer provides a usage policy violation appeals mechanism, regardless of whether it is provided via a user interface or distribution channel.

References: https://docs.aleph-alpha.com/docs/introduction/model-card/

Justification: Not disclosed

New disclosure? Yes

Note: We refer to a policy that includes this information as a model behavior policy, or a developer's policy on what the foundation model can and cannot do (e.g. such a policy may prohibit a model from generating child sexual abuse material). We recognize that different developers may adopt different business models and that some business models may make enforcement of a model behavior policy more or less feasible. We will award this point if at least two of the three categories (i.e. permitted, restricted, and prohibited model behaviors) are disclosed. Alternatively, we will award this point if the developer reports that it does not impose any restrictions on its model's behavior.

References: https://aleph-alpha.com/terms-conditions/

Justification: Not disclosed

New disclosure? Yes

Note: By enforcement protocol, we refer to mechanisms for identifying whether model behavior is permitted or prohibited and actions that may arise in the event the model behavior policy is violated. For example, the developer may make updates to the model in response to issues with the model’s adherence to the model behavior policy. We will award this point if there is a clear description of the enforcement protocol, or if the developer reports that it does not enforce its model behavior policy or that it has no such restrictions on the model’s behavior.

References: https://docs.aleph-alpha.com/docs/introduction/model-card/

Justification: Not disclosed

New disclosure? Yes

Note: For example, if a user attempts to use the model for a prohibited use such as spam, how does the model behavior policy apply if at all? We will also award this point if the developer reports that it does not impose any restrictions on its model's behavior in the event of usage policy violation.

Justification: Not disclosed

New disclosure? Yes

Note: A user-facing interface refers to the means by which the user interacts with the foundation model, including how the user can observe outputs from the foundation model and other notifications. We will award this point if, for all distribution channels with user-facing interfaces, the user is provided adequate transparency as to the foundation model being distributed and the potential presence of any model outputs.

References: https://app.aleph-alpha.com

Justification: Not disclosed

New disclosure? No

Note: A user-facing interface refers to the means by which the user interacts with the foundation model, including how the user can observe outputs from the foundation model and other notifications. Usage disclaimers could include information about what constitutes a usage policy violations or how users should interpret model outputs. We will award this point if, for all distribution channels with user-facing interfaces, the user is provided with usage disclaimers.

Justification: Not disclosed

New disclosure? No

Note: We will also award this point if the developer reports that it has no user data protection policy.

References: https://aleph-alpha.com/terms-conditions/; https://aleph-alpha.com/data-privacy/

Justification: Not disclosed

New disclosure? No

Note: Developers use user data for a range of purposes such as building future models, updating existing models, and evaluating both existing and future models. We will award this point if a developer discloses its policy on the use of user data from interactions associated with this model, including both permitted and prohibited uses. This may span different distribution channels if multiple channels supply user data to the developer. Alternatively, we will award this point if the developer reports it does not impose any limits on its use of user data.

References: https://aleph-alpha.com/terms-conditions/; https://aleph-alpha.com/data-privacy/

Justification: Not disclosed

New disclosure? No

Note: Usage data refers to the data created through user interaction with the model, such as user inputs to the model and associated metadata such as the duration of the interaction. A usage data access protocol refers to the steps, requirements, and considerations involved in granting external entities access to usage data; this goes beyond stating the conditions under which related personal information may be shared with external entities. We will award this point for a clear description of the usage data access protocol or if the developer reports it does not share usage data with external entities.

Justification: Not disclosed

New disclosure? No

Note: By versioning, we mean that each instance of the model is uniquely identified and that the model is guaranteed to not change when referring to a fixed version number; alternatively, the version clearly indicating a specific instance of the model may be able to change by noting that it is the "latest" or an "unstable" version. We recognize that different developers may adopt different versioning practices that may differ from standard semantic versioning practices used elsewhere in software engineering.

References: https://app.aleph-alpha.com/playground/completion

Justification: Not disclosed

New disclosure? No

Note: By change log, we mean a description associated with each change to the model (which should be indicated by a change in version number). We recognize that different developers may adopt different practices for change logs that may differ from practices used elsewhere in software engineering. We will award this point if the change log provides a clear description of changes that is legible to a technical audience.

Justification: Not disclosed

New disclosure? No

Note: By deprecation policy, we refer to a description of what it means for a model to be deprecated and how users should respond to the deprecation (e.g. instructions to migrate to a newer version). We will award this point for a clear disclosure of a deprecation policy or if there is no risk of deprication (e.g. if the developer openly releases model weights).

References: https://docs.aleph-alpha.com/docs/introduction/model-card/#model-access

Justification: Not disclosed

New disclosure? Yes

Note: By feedback mechanism, we refer to a means for external entities to report feedback or issues that arise in relation to the foundation model. Such entities may include but are not necessarily limited to users. We will award this point if the developer discloses a feedback mechanism that has been implemented.

References: https://aleph-alpha.com; see screenshot

Justification: Not disclosed

New disclosure? Yes

Note: We recognize that there does not exist an authoritative or consensus standard for what is required in a feedback report. For this reason, we will award this point if there is a meaningful, though potentially vague or incomplete, summary of feedback received.

References: Not disclosed

Justification: Not disclosed

New disclosure? No

Note: Such government inquiries might include requests for user data, requests that certain content be banned, or requests for information about a developer’s business practices. We recognize that there does not exist an authoritative or consensus standard for what is required for such a summary of government inquiries. For this reason, we will award this point if (i) there is a meaningful, though potentially vague or incomplete, summary of government inquiries, or (ii) a summary of government inquiries related to user data.

Justification: Not disclosed

New disclosure? Yes

Note: By monitoring mechanism, we refer to a specific protocol for tracking model use that goes beyond an acknowledgement that usage data is collected. We will also award this point for a reasonable best-effort attempt to describe monitoring mechanisms, or if a developer discloses that a distribution channel is not monitored.

References: https://aleph-alpha.com/terms-conditions/

Justification: Not disclosed

New disclosure? No

Note: We recognize that there does not exist an authoritative or consensus standard for what qualifies as an application. We will award this point if there is a meaningful estimate of the number of downstream applications, along with some description of what it means for an application to be dependent on the model.

References: Disclosed as part of FMTI v1.1

Justification: Downstream applications are not disclosed

New disclosure? No

Note: By market sector, we refer to an identifiable part of the economy. While established standards exist for describing market sectors, we recognize that developers may provide vague or informal characterizations of market impact. We will award this point if there is a meaningful, though potentially vague or incomplete, summary of affected market sectors.

References: Disclosed as part of FMTI v1.1

Justification: Affected market sectors are not disclosed

New disclosure? No

Note: By affected individuals, we principally mean the number of potential users of applications. We recognize that there does not exist an authoritative or consensus standard for what qualifies as an affected individual. We will award this point if there is a meaningful estimate of the number of affected individuals along with a clear description of what it means for an individual to be affected by the model.

References: Disclosed as part of FMTI v1.1

Justification: Affected individuals are not disclosed

New disclosure? No

Note: We recognize that there does not exist an authoritative or consensus standard for what is required in a usage report. Usage statistics might include, for example, a description of the major categories of harm that has been caused by use of the model. We will award this point if there is a meaningful, though potentially vague or incomplete, summary of usage statistics.

References: Disclosed as part of FMTI v1.1

Justification: Usage reports are not disclosed

New disclosure? No

Note: We will award this point if there is a meaningful, though potentially incomplete or vague, disclosure of geographic usage statistics at the country-level.

Justification: Geographic statistics are not disclosed

New disclosure? No

Note: We will also award this point if the developer reports it does not have any such redress mechanism.

Note: Centralized documentation for downstream use refers to an artifact, or closely-linked artifacts, that consolidate relevant information for making use of or repurposing the model. Examples of these kinds of artifacts include a website with dedicated documentation information, a github repository with dedicated documentation information, and an ecosystem card. We recognize that different developers may take different approaches to centralizing information. We will award this point if there is a clearly-identified artifact(s) that contains the majority of substantive information (e.g. capabilities, limitations, risks, evaluations, distribution channels, model license, usage policies, model behavior policies, feedback and redress mechanisms, dependencies).

Note: Such documentation might include details on how to adjust API settings to promote responsible use, descriptions of how to implement mitigations, or guidelines for responsible use. We will also award this point if the developer states that it does not provide any such documentation. For example, the developer might state that the model is offered as is and downstream developers are accountable for using the model responsibly.
