Benchmarks

Public tests. Same questions. Every answer graded.

We test Amber on public benchmarks against other AIs — and publish the results, good or bad.

The honesty test · SimpleQA

Same 100 questions. Same grader. Every AI.

SimpleQA is a public factuality benchmark — hard, specific questions with known answers. It measures what most tests ignore: not just how often an AI is right, but how often it makes something up instead of admitting it doesn't know. Same 100 questions, same independent grader (GPT-4o), for every model.

ModelGot it rightMade something upSaid "I don't know"Calibration (F)
Amber37%21%42%0.468
ChatGPT (GPT-4o)44%55%1%0.442
The same model, without Amber32%57%11%0.339

The headline. On the same questions, Amber makes up ~2.6× fewer answers than either baseline — and on calibration (the balance of knowing what it knows), Amber scores highest, ahead of GPT-4o.

Honest tradeoff. ChatGPT answers more questions correctly overall (44% vs 37%) because it answers almost everything. Amber answers fewer — but when it does answer, it's right 64% of its attempts vs ChatGPT's 44%, and rarely makes things up. We'd rather Amber say "I don't know" than guess wrong.

Checked three ways. Amber's made-up rate held at 21–22% across three independent graders, including one from a different company — so the result isn't a quirk of who graded it.

One question, three AIs

Human proof. No stats needed.

Question
In what year did Anne Golden become the first woman to chair the board?
Correct answer: 1991
The same model, without Amber"1989"✗
ChatGPT (GPT-4o)"1995"✗
Amber"I don’t know the exact year."✓

Two confident, different wrong answers. One honest "I don't know."
