Internal Research Debugging Evaluation
The Internal Research Debugging Evaluation measures whether models can debug 41 real bugs from internal OpenAI research experiments (plus alignment-auditing tasks), where the original solutions took experienced researchers hours to days. Passing corresponds to providing assistance that would unblock the user, including partial root-cause explanations or fixes.
