A new arXiv paper investigates the reliability of non-generative "System-1" models for biosecurity tasks. The study audited a commercial System-1 model using over 6,000 multiple-choice items from the Weapons of Mass Destruction Proxy (WMDP) and LAB-Bench datasets. While accuracy varied by task, the model demonstrated reasonable calibration and error detection capabilities when its uncertainty field was properly interpreted. However, the research also found significant sensitivity to the order of answer options, particularly on cybersecurity-related items, suggesting that averaging probabilities across different option orders could improve performance.
