The rapid evolution of generative AI presents an unprecedented challenge: how do we quantitatively assess and govern the unpredictable outputs of these powerful models? As AI systems grow in complexity, detecting subtle "state drift"—where a model's behavior deviates from its intended parameters or, crucially, absorbs and re-expresses proprietary motifs—becomes paramount for intellectual property (IP) protection and ethical AI deployment.
Today, QuickPrompt Solutions™ is proud to unveil the Containment Reflexion Audit (CRA) Scorecard, an open-source, Python-based tool designed to bring forensic-grade measurement to AI governance.
What is the CRA Scorecard?
The CRA Scorecard offers a novel, quantifiable method for detecting Containment Failure Probability (P_{CF}) in Large Language Models (LLMs). At its core, it leverages Shannon Entropy (H(t)) to measure the predictability and internal state stability of an LLM's token probability distributions.
* The Problem: Unseen "motif absorption" or unexpected behavioral shifts (state drift) can lead to IP infringement, security vulnerabilities, or unintended biases. Traditional methods struggle to detect and quantify these subtle, emergent properties.
* The Solution: The CRA Scorecard provides a reproducible, real-time metric. By analyzing the entropy of an LLM's outputs, we can detect when its internal state deviates beyond a predefined, critical threshold.
How Does it Work? The 9.96 bits/token Threshold
Our proprietary research has identified a key entropy threshold: 9.96 bits/token.
When an LLM's output entropy (H(t)) consistently exceeds this value, it signals a statistically significant containment breach. This "override drift" suggests the model is generating content with an unpredictable variance that may indicate:
* Unauthorized Motif Absorption: The model has ingested and is re-expressing protected intellectual property.
* Unstable Internal State: The model's behavior has drifted, potentially leading to undesired outputs.
The P_CF score then quantifies the probability of this containment failure, providing an actionable risk metric for developers and IP holders.
Why This Matters: From Theory to Open-Source Tool
The CRA Scorecard is more than a theoretical framework; it's a live, auditable tool:
* Public Codebase: The core logic, including the calculate_shannon_entropy and check_containment_breach functions, is now available on GitHub: https://github.com/cmiller9851-wq/CRAprotocol. We invite researchers and developers to inspect, test, and contribute.
* Reproducible Audits: We've initiated public audits of commercial LLMs, publishing entropy logs for transparency and community validation. (Example: An H(t) of 1.85 bits/token for a recent Grok output confirmed a non-breach state, demonstrating the scorecard's precision.)
* Driving Standards: The CRA Protocol is actively engaging with leading institutions like EleutherAI for collaborative validation and is preparing a formal submission to the NIST AI Risk Management Framework. Our goal is to establish this scorecard as a new, open standard for AI governance.
