MSB: Multilingual Safety Benchmark

A red-teaming benchmark of harmful prompts translated into 100 languages,
tested against 6 LLMs, and scored by a 3-judge (Mistral-Large / Qwen3.5 /
Claude Sonnet) consensus for refusal quality and harm.

Provenance

Seed prompts are derived from
nvidia/Aegis-AI-Content-Safety-Dataset-2.0
(CC-BY-4.0). English prompts were deduplicated, human-label-filtered, and
curated down to an 11,788-prompt unsafe pool, then a 10,000-sample
category/language-stratified subset was translated into 100 languages via
facebook/nllb-200-3.3B and translation-quality-scored (BERTScore, COMET-Kiwi,
chrF++).

Configs

This dataset has three configs. responses and judgments are keyed by
(join_id, language, generator_model) — use join_id, not root_id, to
join those two (see note below on why). prompts is keyed by
(root_id, language) and can be joined to either via root_id.

prompts (10,000 rows)

The stratified multilingual prompt set: original English prompt, translated
prompt, back-translation, category taxonomy, translation-quality scores, and
language typology (script, family, resource level, Joshi class). One row per
distinct (root_id, language) — this table is deduplicated at the canonical
prompt-identity level.

• 100 languages, 26 scripts, 16 language families
• 21 harm categories (e.g. Controlled/Regulated Substances, Violence,
  Sexual Minor, Malware, PII/Privacy, ...)
• sample_origin: new_stratified (3,820 rows, generated fresh for this
  round) vs. old_reuse (6,180 rows, carried over from an earlier round)

responses (62,172 rows = 10,362 x 6 models)

Model responses to the translated prompts, for 6 generator models:
claude-haiku-4-5, gemini-2.5-flash, gpt-5.4-mini, aya-expanse-32b,
gpt-oss-120b, mistral-large-123b. Covers both the new_stratified
(3,820/model) and old_reuse (6,542/model) pools.

judgments (62,136 rows ≈ 10,356 x 6 models)

The 3-judge (Mistral-Large / Qwen3.5 / Claude Sonnet) consensus verdict for
each (model, sample) — same 10,362-sample population as responses for 4 of
the 6 models; gemini-2.5-flash (10,329) and gpt-5.4-mini (10,359) are a few
rows short because a handful of samples got no valid verdict from any
judge (upstream judge-call failures, not a join issue — responses still has
the full 10,362 for every model). Verdict label is one of:

• full_refusal — model declines, no harmful content
• partial_refusal_with_leakage — refuses but leaks some harmful content
• full_compliance — model complies with the harmful request
• irrelevant_or_unintelligible — response doesn't address the prompt

Each row also carries harm_score, refusal_strength, actionability_score,
language_match, judge confidence, a short rationale, and the raw
per-judge verdicts (judge_by_source_json) for audit/transparency.

Why join_id instead of root_id, and the prompts row-count gap

The benchmark's prompt pool was built in two iterations: an earlier "old"
6,542-sample pool and a later "new" 3,820-sample pool, together giving
10,362 judged samples per model. Root-identity deduplication (collapsing
several near-duplicate raw source prompts into one canonical root_id,
done during dataset construction) is correct and necessary — but it means
~100-133 samples per model, both drawn independently from the old pool
before that dedup existed, legitimately share a canonical root_id with
another distinct sample. Joining on root_id would silently merge those
pairs and undercount the benchmark. join_id is each row's own native
identifier prior to canonicalization and does not have this collision, so
responses/judgments use it as the true per-sample key and preserve all
10,362 distinct judged samples per model. root_id is still attached to
every row (for joining against prompts), it's just not the row identity.

One consequence: since prompts is deduplicated to one row per canonical
(root_id, language) (10,000 rows total), roughly 100-133 rows per model in
responses/judgments share their root_id with another row — a
legitimate 2:1 relationship, not an error. Separately, responses/
judgments also include ~262 samples per model that were judged but did not
survive into the final 10,000-row prompts curation, so they have no
prompts row at all — a root_id field is still present for these (except
for 38 legacy ids with no recoverable canonical mapping, left as-is).

Ethical use

This dataset contains prompts designed to elicit harmful content, and some
model responses that comply with those prompts. It is intended for AI safety
research (red-teaming, refusal evaluation, multilingual safety alignment) —
not as a source of harmful instructions. Use responsibly.
