Google DeepMind is piloting a "double-blind evaluation" framework to address benchmark contamination. By using a secure enclave that hides both test prompts and model weights, the framework ensures external safety and performance evaluations remain private, robust, and trustworthy. The first successful test has been conducted on a frontier proprietary model.
