OpenAI releases MentalHealthBench for realistic mental health conversations

OpenAI has openly released MentalHealthBench, a new benchmark for realistic mental health conversations. It was built with input from more than 80 mental health clinicians, and other researchers can examine the methods, run their own evaluations, and build on the work.

OpenAI says MentalHealthBench shows that frontier models have continued to improve in realistic mental health conversations.
