What does double-blind mean in this AI evaluation pilot?
The described pilot uses confidential computing so evaluators cannot inspect the model weights and the AI lab cannot inspect the evaluation prompts. Each party protects a different asset while the model is assessed. That arrangement limits some direct exposure, but it does not establish that the test represents every real-world task.
