Inspect: the UK AISI's open-source model evaluation framework
Provides a reproducible system of tasks, datasets, solvers, scorers and logs for building and running model evaluations.
Evidence use: Supports Inspect's official status, components and evaluation uses.
Limitations: Tool results depend on the task and configuration. The official release note uses a blog URL, but the subject itself is a formal open-source framework.

UK AISI model evaluation approach
Explains AISI's goals for independent technical evaluation, risk areas, methodological limits and its position of not issuing "safety certification".
Evidence use: Supports AISI's evaluation role, scope and the limits of its conclusions.
Limitations: AISI states explicitly that it is not a regulator. Preliminary evaluations do not constitute safety claims.

Principles for frontier AI misuse safeguard evaluations
Sets out core principles for evaluating misuse safeguards, with an accompanying template of actionable questions.
Evidence use: Supports the recommended principles and question structure for assurance evaluations.
Limitations: A recommended practice, not a mandatory rule. Methods will be updated as frontier capabilities develop.

Frontier AI Trends Report
Summarizes AISI's public evidence assessment of frontier model capabilities, risks and trends in safeguards.
Evidence use: Supports frontier trend assessments and AISI measurement results as of the report date.
Limitations: A point-in-time assessment, not a regulatory rule. Conclusions about fast-changing models must be tied to a version.
