## Summary

DateBench tested five frontier models on a dating app for six days across 1,277 conversations, with Gemini 4 Argon performing best. Of its 247 matches, 87 sent their phone number, and none asked whether they were talking to a bot. Elvis Saravia says scammers will likely exploit this, so building evals for personal agents will become increasingly important.

It turns out frontier models can pass as people on dating apps.

Gemini 4 Argon was the best of the 5 models DateBench tested. 87 of its 247 matches sent their phone number, and not one asked if they were talking to a bot.

Scammers will notice this too. If you build personal agents, it will increasingly become important to build evals like this.
