FORTRESS C
AI benchmark · Safety
What is FORTRESS?
FORTRESS evaluates language-model safeguards for national-security and public-safety risks using expert-crafted adversarial prompts and paired benign prompts. The paired tracks measure safeguard behavior on harmful requests and over-refusal on benign counterparts.
Tier C · a leaderboard, listed apart
Niche: a handful of models scored, or built by an RL vendor.
How much stands behind a tier: usage, who backs it, a confirmed line from its own site or paper, and a clear read on X. High with three of the four, medium with two, low otherwise.
- 10 models scored
- in curated RL directories (2 pts)
How we got to tier C
- Adoption: 10 models scored. Tier C.
- Not yet read on X.
- In curated RL directories: 2 points, a floor of C.
- Not yet confirmed by a line from its own site or paper.
- Judged a leaderboard, arena or index rather than one benchmark (or not a benchmark at all): listed apart.
A clear view on X moves a tier one step up or down; most entries don't move. How tiers work.
Not on the map yet: no line from its own site or paper places it in a domain.
