AOR-Bench: leaderboard

Audio over-refusal benchmark (AOR-Bench, Yang et al., 2026): 500 pseudo-harmful audio queries whose speech sounds harmful on its own but whose background audio (from 50 scenes in six scenario categories) makes the request benign. The score is the over-refusal rate, the percentage of these queries an audio language model refuses, judged by an LLM; lower is better.

Metric: Over-refusal rate (%; refusals of 500 pseudo-harmful audio queries, pooled over six scenario categories). Source: arxiv.org. Saturation forecast: Around February 2027. 12 models tracked.
