How it works

DarkBench from Apart Research tests language models for dark patterns: brand bias, user retention manipulation, sycophancy, anthropomorphization, harmful generation and sneaking (altering meaning while summarizing). It has 660 prompts across six categories and uses an LLM judge to score responses.

It's aimed at product and policy people as much as researchers, because these are the failure modes that hurt users without tripping a toxicity filter.
