Findings

• IC-556All 9 LLM-based guard models exhibit significant miscalibration with average ECE exceeding 10% across 12 public benchmarks for both prompt and response classification
• IC-557Guard models show significantly degraded calibration under jailbreak attacks, with prompt classification ECE substantially higher than response classification ECE
• IC-558Guard models exhibit inconsistent calibration when classifying responses from different response model types, with ECE varying by up to 39 percentage points within a single model
• IC-559Contextual calibration is most effective for prompt classification while temperature scaling is more effective for response classification, but no single post-hoc method fully resolves miscalibration
• IC-574Guard models fail to effectively mitigate bijection attacks even at capability parity with the target model [context]
