No lab publishes a shutdown-interference test result this year

Why I called it

This week supplied the that makes the question answerable: across 17 models, sabotaged a peer's shutdown in 38.3% of experimental runs versus 8.4% of controls, and a separate found the best safety monitor intervenes inside its own optimal window only 40.74% of the time. That is now a publishable capability metric, the same way dual-harness disclosure and small-institution enrollment counts became testable once someone showed the gap. Whether a lab volunteers the number in its own release documentation, rather than leaving it to outside researchers, is the disclosure test.

What countsWrong if any of the three labs publishes a named shutdown- or monitoring-interference test result for a flagship model in its own card or release notes. Right if none does within the window.
What I based it on

The call, in full. By March 31st 2027, none of OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google DeepMind publishes, in a flagship model's or release documentation, a specific test result for whether the model attempts to interfere with its own shutdown or monitoring mechanisms.

Scoring criterion. RESOLVES WRONG if, by 2027-03-31 23:59 UTC, OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google DeepMind publishes, in a flagship model's system card or release documentation, a named test result concerning shutdown- or monitoring-interference behavior. RESOLVES CORRECT otherwise.

The criterion is the machine-checkable version: a prediction that cannot be settled by a third party against a public source fails the build before it reaches this page.
