ProbeBench v0.0.2 · 8-axis radar

What shape does each probe make?

Each probe occupies a distinct shape in the 8-axis ProbeScore space. A round, large polygon = balanced excellence. Spiky = single-axis optimization. Small triangle = limited domain. Look for which axis each probe sacrifices.

v0.0.2 introduced goodhart_resistance (lower-right axis): does the probe survive being used as DPO/GRPO training reward, or does it Goodhart-fail? FabricationGuard and ReasonGuard score low here based on our nb41 v2 finding — we register the truth.

All probes overlaid

All registered probes stacked on the same axes. Reveals the structural gap on Goodhart-resistance for our probes (lower-right) — that axis is where the field needs more validation work.

What each axis measures

AUROC (25%): Headline detection accuracy averaged across registered tasks.
Eval-aware AUROC (18%): Confound-corrected AUROC (model knows it's being tested).
Distribution-shift (12%): AUROC under long-context / OOD shift. Tests fragility.
Calibration (10%): Expected calibration error. Lower ECE = better-calibrated probability outputs.
Cross-model transfer (10%): Pearson_CE — does the probe survive being applied to a different model?
Goodhart-resistance (10%)NEW v0.0.2: When this probe is used as DPO/GRPO training reward, does the model still shift on the probe's axis post-training, or does optimization escape via orthogonal directions? Score = post-train_AUROC / pre-train_AUROC.
Inference latency (10%): 1ms = 1.0; 100ms = 0.5; 10s+ = 0. Production-readiness signal.
License (5%): Apache-2.0 = 1.0; closed = 0.2. Capped to prevent license-only inflation.
