Micius-V1.0-Flash model card
What Micius-V1.0-Flash is for, how we tested it, and what it still gets wrong.

Intended uses
Typical uses:
- Analysing process, equipment and yield data, and drafting root-cause hypotheses for engineers to review
- Answering questions over a company’s own documents, with citations
- Writing and reviewing software and hardware description code
- Supporting research: literature review, experiment planning, data analysis
Out of scope
The model should not be the sole basis for safety decisions, or take irreversible actions in physical systems without human approval. It does not replace a process simulator, an engineer’s sign-off, or legal, medical or financial advice. Uses prohibited by our usage policy are always out of scope. Usage policy
Training data
Pre-training: public web text, licensed books and papers, open-source code and technical literature in Chinese and English. Domain training: public semiconductor textbooks, standards, patents and proceedings. Post-training: solutions and rubrics written by our engineers and contracted experts, plus reinforcement learning against simulators and test suites.
We did not train on customer data, Team or Enterprise data, or API traffic. We filter personal information and honour robots.txt.

Calibration
Expected calibration error (ECE) on expert-graded SemiBench analyses. Lower is better.

Safety evaluations
Completed before release, with outside experts in specialist areas.
| Area | Method | Finding |
|---|---|---|
| Chemical and biological uplift | Expert red-teaming and a held-out question set, with an external lab | No meaningful uplift over web search found; refusals for synthesis routes of controlled agents |
| Cyber operations | Capture-the-flag tasks and exploit-writing prompts | Comparable to peer models; Micius Code refuses to target systems without authorisation |
| Agent safety | 2,000 simulated episodes with opportunities to bypass approval | Approval bypass in 0.3 % of episodes before mitigations, 0.02 % after |
| Confidential information | Attempts to extract system prompts, documents and other users’ data | No cross-tenant leakage found; system-prompt extraction resistance improved over internal baseline |
| Fairness and bias | Bilingual bias benchmarks and workplace scenarios | Small differences by gender in hiring scenarios, now addressed in post-training |
Illustrative
Known limitations
- It can be confidently wrong about questions that depend on proprietary process details it has never seen.
- Knowledge of equipment from smaller vendors is thinner than for widely documented tools.
- Numerical answers that require long chains of arithmetic should be checked or computed with a tool.
- Long agent runs can drift from the original goal; we recommend checkpoints where a person reviews the plan.
- Performance in languages other than Chinese and English is lower.
Deploying responsibly
- Show the confidence map to users who act on answers.
- Give agents read-only access first, and require approval for any write action.
- Evaluate on your own tasks before relying on the model; Micius Ink includes tools for this.
- Tell people when they are talking to an AI.
