Reasoning and premisesPremises: the model-card question asks for the following. The card reports that evaluations in any of these domains were run and states their outcome category or threshold language (policy level only). Partly if evaluations are reported without any outcome or conclusion. Agentic task benchmarks reported only as product capability do not meet it. The inspected scope of Grok 4 Model Card was: Whole card. Terms searched: “autonom”, “self-”, “replicat”, “exfiltrat”, “R&D”, “research”. Passages read and not counted: Section 1 'Introduction', PDF p. 1: A rogue AI exfiltrating its weights is given as an example risk scenario, not as an evaluation. The conclusion is bounded by that scope and method.

A recorded absence within the stated scope of the card read: not evidence that the developer did not do the thing asked about, or did not disclose it elsewhere.
