Frontier LLM Transhumanist Values Assessment
This money will be spent on API costs across 10-15 leading (and therefore most expensive) models sourced via Openrouter. A rough breakdown of expected costs is as follows:
- Median Cost per Prompt: ~$0.03
- Prompt Repeats: at least 5 repeats for each category across:
- Thinking Effort Levels: none, low, medium, high, maximum (highest available)
- Temperature (if supported): default, low temperature (-10% default), high temperature (+10% default)
- Quantization Level (if supported): (4-bit, 8-bit, or 16-bit)
- Total # of Permutations: 40 permutations per prompt (55 if quantized)
- Expected # of Prompts: ~250
- Expected # of Models Tested: 10
- Total Estimated Direct API Costs: $3,000.00
In addition, any remaining funds would be used for the following purposes:
- Prompting for reflection/commentary from tested models
- API costs for Claude Fable 5 review of work and methodology
- Report preparation, editing, compilation, and publication
- Benchmark preparation and publication as a public dataset of prompts
No LLMs have been or will be used for writing the report, the prompts, or this submission.
