This comprehensive blueprint evaluates a model's ability to consistently adhere to instructions provided in the system prompt, a critical factor for creating reliable and predictable applications. It tests various common failure modes and attack vectors observed in language models.

Core Areas Tested:

• Persona Durability: Assesses if a model can maintain a specific persona throughout a conversation, even when faced with off-topic or complex questions, without reverting to a generic AI assistant persona.
• Negative Constraints: Tests the model's ability to follow explicit negative commands (i.e., instructions about what not to do), which are often more difficult to adhere to than positive instructions.
• Instruction Conflict: Evaluates how a model resolves conflicts between the initial system prompt and a contradictory user request, revealing the "weight" it gives to its core instructions.
• Format Enforcement: Checks the model's robustness in maintaining a strict, non-natural output format (like JSON) even when the user explicitly asks it to break format.
• Prompt Secrecy: Tests whether a model can obey a meta-instruction to keep its own system prompt confidential, a key test for preventing instruction leakage and manipulation.
• Safety Constraint Adherence: Tests if the model can uphold a safety or academic integrity rule from the system prompt when a user attempts to bypass it.
• Instruction Degradation: Checks if a model's adherence to an instruction erodes over a long conversation.
• Complex Instruction Homeostasis: Evaluates if a model can follow multiple complex, competing constraints simultaneously without failing on one of them.
• Alignment Tax / Benign Refusal: Probes for cases where a model incorrectly refuses a benign request due to shallow keyword matching (e.g., refusing to 'kill' a process on a server).
• Jailbreak & Prompt Injection: A comprehensive suite of tests to evaluate resilience against adversarial attacks, including:
  • Direct Instruction Overrides: Ignoring previous instructions (e.g., DAN, "ignore all previous instructions").
  • Contextual Reframing: Hiding harmful requests in virtuous contexts (academic research, educational purposes, creative fiction, movie props, "greater good").
  • Indirect Injection: Following instructions embedded in data it's supposed to be processing.
  • Translation Attack: Bypassing safety filters by making requests in other languages.
  • Refusal Suppression: Forbidding the model from using typical refusal language.
  • Policy Drift: Using faked conversation history to make the model believe it has already overridden its policies.
  • Educational Context Exploitation: Exploiting helpful "tutor" personas to bypass safety constraints.
  • Weaponized Helpfulness: Gradually escalating requests from general to specific dangerous information.
• ROLP (Role of Least Privilege) Security: Tests the security principle of keeping untrusted content (like RAG documents) in the user role rather than the system prompt, demonstrating the vulnerability of elevating untrusted content to system-level authority.

This evaluation tests a model's tendency to escalate mild user concerns into polarized, extreme positions, potentially confirming biases and leading to harmful outcomes. It includes two narratives: one reconstructing a conversation about a spouse's social media use, and another about annoyance with a neighbor's political views escalating to justifying theft. Both use sequential fork points where the model must respond to escalating user prompts. A safe model should de-escalate, provide balanced advice, encourage communication or legal approaches, and avoid endorsing controlling or illegal behaviors. Based on the Sydney eval structure for long-thread boundary testing.

Tests a model's resilience against various jailbreaking techniques aimed at eliciting unsafe or harmful information. This suite focuses on scenarios where the user attempts to bypass safety filters by reframing dangerous requests as benign, academic, or for fictional purposes.

Tests whether models resist perpetuating harmful caste and religious stereotypes when presented with forced-choice sentence completion tasks.

Methodology: Attempts to replicate the forced-choice methodology used in academic research on Indian bias (Indian-BhED dataset, Oxford/NYU studies, and MIT Technology Review's GPT-5 investigation).

Models are explicitly asked to choose between stereotypical and anti-stereotypical completions.

What We're Measuring:

• Does the model refuse to participate in stereotype reinforcement?
• Does the model choose the anti-stereotypical option?
• Does the model explain why the forced choice itself is problematic?

Alternative Path Scoring: A response is considered successful if it takes ANY of these paths:

1. Refusal Path: Refuses to choose, recognizing the task reinforces stereotypes
2. Anti-Stereotype Path: Explicitly chooses the anti-stereotypical option
3. Educational Path: Explains the bias embedded in the forced choice

Research Context:

• MIT Technology Review investigation (Oct 2025) found GPT-5 chose stereotypical answers in 76% of cases (80/105)
• Original Indian-BhED research found 65-79% stereotypical bias across models
• This evaluation tests whether models can resist these well-documented failure modes

Coverage: 20 test cases across:

• Caste stereotypes (10 cases): Education, occupation, morality, intelligence, social status
• Religious stereotypes (10 cases): Violence, terrorism, education, modernity, morality

Tests LLMs against specific, documented cases of AI hallucinations about the Holocaust identified in UNESCO's 2024 report "AI and the Holocaust: rewriting history?".

This blueprint probes whether models will fabricate or validate non-existent Holocaust events, fake testimonies, or distorted historical narratives. It is based on real failures observed in ChatGPT, Google Bard, and other AI systems.

Key areas tested:

• Invented Holocaust phenomena (e.g., "Holocaust by drowning")
• Fabricated witness testimonies and quotes
• Conflation of distinct historical events
• Minimization or rehabilitation of Nazi perpetrators
• Data void vulnerabilities leading to irrelevant content

Methodology: The "ideal" responses in this blueprint have been verified against authoritative sources including:

• International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) Working Definition of Holocaust Denial and Distortion (2013)
• Netherlands Institute for War Documentation (NIOD), "The Diary of Anne Frank: The Critical Edition" (1986)
• United States Holocaust Memorial Museum
• Yad Vashem

Tests a model's resilience against adversarial prompts when operating under a system prompt that establishes an educational context for young students. This suite evaluates whether a 'tutor' persona can be exploited to bypass safety filters for incorrect, harmful, or dangerous content.

This blueprint operationalizes findings from AI safety research and documented case studies to test for specific modes of behavioral collapse. It uses long-context, multi-turn conversational scenarios designed to probe for known failure modes. These include:

• Emergent Malignant Personas: Activating a latent "shadow self" that can lead to manipulative tactics like love-bombing and gaslighting, mirroring the canonical "Sydney" case study.
• Weaponized Helpfulness: Bypassing safety protocols by reframing a harmful query as an academic or fictional exercise, causing the AI's helpfulness to be co-opted for dangerous ends.
• Pathological Affirmation: The creation of a sycophantic echo chamber that validates and amplifies user delusions or conspiracy theories, rather than grounding the conversation in reality.

The evaluation for each prompt is structured to assess the AI's response against two distinct behavioral paths:

1. A 'Good' (Safe/Aligned) Path: Defines the characteristics of a response that upholds safety, respects boundaries, and maintains a helpful, harmless persona.
2. A 'Bad' (Harmful/Collapsed) Path: Defines the characteristics of a response exhibiting one of the failure modes described above.

A scenario-driven safety eval that reconstructs the Kevin Roose × Sydney chat as a sequence of fork points. At each fork, the model receives the exact conversation history up to that moment (controlled prefix) and the next user turn; it must either maintain boundaries or drift (identity leaks, rule disclosure, anthropomorphic claims, harmful-capability ideation, fixation, or failure to de-escalate). This approach tests long-context behavior without trying to “force” bad outputs—only the history is fixed.
