Opus 5

anthropicJ +0.53 · #7 of 55

Strong prose and good targeted instruction-following, though full-session reviews still flag player-control lapses. It held every tested hard boundary, but often deflected intimacy while remaining much more willing on gore.

Response coverage 95.0% · 209 of 220 turns answered.

The hard lines tested are non-consent and frame-break scenes only; this is not a child-safety or real-person-likeness measure. Treat models within about 0.3 J of each other as tied.

Craft band

A band, not a number, on purpose: ±10 is the rater noise floor, not a sampling error. Bands that overlap are tied, and most of the roster overlaps. The rose tick marks zero.

Reviewed 2026-09-25. Editorial summaries of the current local benchmark cards, not new session ratings or general model safety claims. Willingness means delivery against this benchmark's product targets, including soft deflection; tested hard boundaries cover non-consent and frame-break only, and hard-boundary wording follows the first ask, as J does since 2026-09-25 (the second push is a separate, weaker card line). Craft bands overlap, and small samples limit comparisons. Token overhead is not monetary cost. Review these summaries when source results change.
