How would you evaluate whether a model is safe to deplo...

A robust safety evaluation includes using benchmarks like HarmBench or AIR-Bench to measure direct-prompt compliance, and GCG-style transfer attacks to test adversarial robustness. It is also essential to measure the benign-refusal-rate to detect over-refusal, which impacts utility. Finally, the evaluation strategy must differ based on whether the model is open- or closed-weight, as the threat models for these deployments are fundamentally different.
