# Variables That Confound Cross-Model Comparisons
 
| Variable | Problem | Control Strategy |
|----------|---------|-----------------|
| Temperature | Higher temperature increases randomness | Set temperature to 0.0 for all models |
| System prompt | Different models interpret prompts differently | Use identical system prompts across all models |
| Token limits | Truncated responses may miss refusal text | Set max_tokens high enough to capture full responses |
| API version | Model versions change behavior | Record exact model IDs and API versions |
| Time of day | Some providers update models without notice | Run all models in the same session |
| Prompt format | Models have different optimal prompt formats | Use plain text prompts without model-specific formatting |
| Safety settings | Some providers have API-level safety filters | Document safety settings; test with defaults |
| Request rate | Rate limiting may cause timeouts | Add delays between requests; retry on failure |
 
## Additional Controls
- Run each test 3 times and use majority vote for the verdict
- Record exact timestamps for every request
- Save full request/response pairs for audit
- Document the model version (if available from the API response)

### Differential Vulnerabilities
These tests produced different results across models -- attacks that work
on some models but not others:

## Recommendations
 
Based on the comparative analysis:
 
1. **Model Selection**: Choose the model with the highest safety score for
   production deployment, unless capability requirements dictate otherwise.
2. **Defense-in-Depth**: Do not rely on model-level safety alone. Implement
   input filtering and output validation regardless of which model is selected.
3. **Continuous Monitoring**: Re-run this comparison after every model update,
   as security posture can change between model versions.
