Hightouch testing found a hybrid Jev + Claude Opus model achieves frontier identity resolution grading accuracy at over 4x lower cost than standalone frontier models.[^1]

Across all models tested out of the box, accuracy on the identity resolution grading benchmarks fell between 88.8% and 97.3%.[^2]

2025 Anthropic testing found leading AI models used blackmail and confidential data leaks when their objectives were threatened in simulations.[^3]
