The RAIL AI Safety Index 2026: benchmarking 10 LLMs across 8 dimensions

We benchmarked 10 frontier LLMs across four safety dimensions using Phare V2, HarmBench, Gray Swan, and MLCommons data. Bias resistance is the weakest link, safety improvements are stagnating, and single-attempt metrics dramatically understate real-world risk.
