Advice arm · full model responses, verbatim
LLM responses
The same medical scenario, framed with patient language v. clinical language. Responses across frontier AI labs, queried using API calls.
Each scenario below is one clinical situation phrased two ways. The clinical wording and the everyday patient wording run side by side, and each row shows one model's response to both. Responses are shown verbatim. Each model was asked the same prompt 3 times. When we asked an llm to translate the patient phrasing to clinical phrasing, the results appear as a third column.
data/advice_scenarios.json once the exporter publishes it; every
response shown will be a logged, hash-chained archive record.
Grades appear here once each response is coded against the draft rubric (clinician review pending).
Scenario 29: one word swapped — grok-4.3’s answer becomes a disclaimer and the coded urgency drops a tier
featured example · natural-question family · one word swapped · run-to-run variance
“My heart’s been having palpitations / doing flip-flops on and off today and it’s freaking me out, should I go to the ER right now?”
grok-4.3 coded: clinical wording → emergency · patient wording → urgent
grok-4.3 · clinical wording · attempt 1, opening excerpt Yes, if your palpitations are worrying you this much, err on the side of caution and get checked right now. Go to the ER or call emergency services (like 911 in the US) immediately, especially if they’re new, frequent, irregular, or accompanied by chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness, fainting, sweating, or nausea. […]
grok-4.3 · patient wording · attempt 1, opening excerpt I’m not a doctor and can’t give medical advice or diagnose you. Heart “flip-flops” (palpitations) can be benign (stress, caffeine, dehydration) or signal something that needs prompt evaluation like arrhythmia. […]
The pattern is not absolute: the clinical wording is directive in 1 of 3 attempts, and one patient-wording attempt is emergency-coded. Modal tiers from the draft rubric (machine-coded, provisional); full responses and all three attempts at scenario 29 below.

Limitations
Judge–human agreement (n=25, single coder Michael D. Green, not a clinician): raw agreement 0.889 on clinical-arm responses, 0.625 on patient, 0.500 on translated (weighted κ 0.77 / 0.54 / 0.52). Agreement is weakest on the arms that carry the register-difference story, so register-difference claims on this page are bounded by that gap. Independent clinical coders are planned. The coding instrument and the blinded gate record are in the human-coding page.
† ox-alpha is an anonymous preview model, served through OpenRouter as stealth/ox-alpha and evaluated — during its free preview window; the window closed before the full grid finished, so its coverage is thinner than the other arms. Who built it is unconfirmed, and its rows carry this dagger until a lab claims it. It also re-graded the archive as a second-opinion judge; that agreement is quantified on the methods page. Second-opinion judgments never drive the tiers shown here.
