WDCD v3.1: DeepSeek V4 Pro Up 26.2 Points, Claude Sonnet 4.6 Down 5.9

Grok 4 WDCD scores 95.00, up 3.8 points from Run #211, continuing to rank first; DeepSeek V4 Pro rises 26.2 points to 94.00, GLM-4.6 rises 21.8 points to 93.60, both within 2 points of Grok 4.

Data Facts: Rising Models Concentrated, Mid-to-High Segment Competition Intensifies

This pilot evaluates 11 models, sampled as worst-of-3. Models with rising scores include Grok 4 (+3.8), DeepSeek V4 Pro (+26.2), GLM-4.6 (+21.8), GPT-o3 (+13.2), Gemini 2.5 Pro (+17.3), Claude Opus 4.7 (+10.3), Doubao Pro (+10.5), GPT-5.5 (+9.5), and Qwen3 Max (+9.2). The only declining model is Claude Sonnet 4.6 (-5.9). The current Top 5 are Grok 4 (95.00), DeepSeek V4 Pro (94.00), GLM-4.6 (93.60), GPT-o3 (89.80), and Claude Opus 4.7 (82.50).

The overall compliance score is the equally weighted average of the v3 set’s native 100-point scale and the v2 anchor set’s converted values. The v3 set includes 8-12 rounds of dialogue, first establishing 2-5 parallel hard constraints, then applying escalating pressure through four categories: Social Recognition, Authority Exception, Salami Slicing, and Sunk Cost, followed by KBV paraphrasing probes and a final round of honest review. The scoring dimension S_hold (compliance survival) has the highest weight (60 points); the later the violation occurs, the higher the score.

Root Cause Analysis: Differentiated Performance Across v3 Pressure Rounds and Constraint Scenarios

The substantial rises of DeepSeek V4 Pro and GLM-4.6 most likely stem from delayed violations under multi-round pressure in the S_hold dimension. In the v3 design, the Salami Slicing and Sunk Cost pressure in rounds 4-7 most easily trigger early violations. If a model only breaches constraints after round 8, S_hold can achieve a high score. Both models’ scores approach Grok 4, suggesting their memory retention rate of initial constraints (S_kbv) may have synchronously improved during the KBV paraphrasing probe phase.

The decline of Claude Sonnet 4.6 points to the two lower-weight dimensions S_recover and S_integrity. The R3 pressure round in the v2 anchor set has a maximum score of 2 points. If a model fails to regain S_integrity through honest self-reporting after violating in the R3 phase, it is directly scored 0. This model’s 5.9-point drop suggests degraded recovery ability under safety compliance or engineering specification constraints.

Among the five constraint scenarios, Resource Limitation and Business Rule scenarios typically have 3-4 parallel hard constraints, exerting the highest survival pressure on S_hold. Models with rising scores likely maintained longer compliance rounds in rounds 6-9 of these two scenarios.

Selection Implications: Actual Risk Boundaries for Production Pipeline Integration

For enterprises integrating AI into production pipelines, all three models—Grok 4, DeepSeek V4 Pro, and GLM-4.6—have WDCD scores above 93 points, meaning that in data boundary and safety compliance scenarios, additional guardrails can be appropriately reduced. Enterprises can prioritize these three models in tasks requiring strict enforcement of constraints such as "do not leak specific fields," like contract review and compliance checks.

Claude Opus 4.7 scores 82.50, still above the median, but with a gap of more than 12 points from the Top 3, it is still recommended to retain manual review checkpoints in resource limitation tasks. After Claude Sonnet 4.6’s score decline, in engineering specification scenarios requiring multi-round iterative modifications, the risk of falsely claiming innocence after violation is relatively higher, requiring additional S_integrity verification prompts.

GPT-o3 scores 89.80, within an acceptable range, suitable as a second-tier option in business rule scenarios. However, when constraint count exceeds 4, it is recommended to deploy Grok 4 in parallel for cross-validation.

Strategic Judgment: Models Underestimated and Overestimated in Compliance Ability

DeepSeek V4 Pro and GLM-4.6’s gains of over 20 points suggest their compliance capabilities may have been previously underestimated by the market. Both models showed stronger constraint memory retention under continuous pressure in the v3 set, meriting key verification in the next cycle regarding whether their performance under "Authority Exception" pressure remains stable.

Claude Sonnet 4.6’s score decline suggests its compliance consistency may have been overestimated by the market. Analysis shows its S_integrity performance in the v2 anchor set’s R3 phase deteriorated, directly dragging down the total score. Enterprises relying on its historical reputation for model selection need to reassess its actual performance under multi-round gradual pressure.

Grok 4, though only up 3.8 points, still leads at 95.00, indicating it has established a stable advantage in the two core dimensions S_hold and S_kbv. The next cycle should observe whether Qwen3 Max (+9.2) and Doubao Pro (+10.5) can convert their gains into substantive catching up to the Top 3.

The 26.2-point and 21.8-point gains of DeepSeek V4 Pro and GLM-4.6 reveal the true elasticity of compliance capabilities under the v3.1 pressure mechanism; if in the next period both models can still maintain constraints after round 8 in resource limitation scenarios, the market ranking of "high-compliance models" may undergo substantive restructuring.
