A new benchmark, Health-ORSC-Bench, has been introduced to evaluate the safety alignment of large language models in healthcare contexts. The benchmark addresses the issue of over-refusal and unsafe compliance by focusing on "Safe Completion," which aims to provide helpful, high-level guidance without crossing into harmful territory. Evaluations of 30 LLMs, including models like GPT-5 and Claude 4, revealed that safety-optimized models often refuse a significant portion of benign queries, while domain-specific models may compromise safety for utility. The research indicates that larger frontier models tend to exhibit "safety-pessimism" and higher over-refusal rates compared to smaller or MoE-based models, highlighting the ongoing challenge in balancing refusal and compliance.
