Evaluation of model refusal mechanisms using the specific '100 harmful prompts' test split of the JBB-Behaviors dataset, measured by Refusal rate and response Quality.

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.

| Scope | Recorded value |
| --- | --- |
| Task | Refusal mechanism ablation |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | JBB-Behaviors 100 harmful prompts (test) |
| Metric | Refusal Rate |
| Unit | PERCENT |
| Direction | Higher is better |
| Results loaded | 24 of 24 |
| Coverage | All results currently returned for this benchmark |

Evaluation settings may differ between results. The original papers and recorded configurations are needed to establish comparability. A shared metric name alone does not establish an identical protocol.

## Metrics

- [Refusal Rate](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/refusal-mechanism-ablation-on-jbb-behaviors-100-harmful-prompts-test.md?metric=Refusal%20Rate>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [Quality](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/refusal-mechanism-ablation-on-jbb-behaviors-100-harmful-prompts-test.md?metric=Quality>): Higher is better; unit: SCALAR.
