Automated Researchers Can Mitigate Well-characterized Alignment Failures

Chen Yueh-Han, Jiaxin Wen, Jan Hendrik Kirchner

Automating alignment research may accelerate progress toward aligned AI, but whether it does is hard to measure. Luckily, many alignment failures, such as deception, sycophancy, an…

Code Monitor Red Teaming for Public-Test-Passing Code

Junchi Liao, Jiawen Deng, Fuji Ren

Visible tests are a common gate for LLM-generated code, but passing them does not certify specification correctness. We study a deployment-like monitoring problem: after code has p…

Auditing language models for hidden objectives

Samuel Marks, Johannes Treutlein, Trenton Bricken +32

We study the feasibility of conducting alignment audits: investigations into whether models have undesired objectives. As a testbed, we train a language model with a hidden objecti…

Humanity's Last Exam

Long Phan, Alice Gatti, Ziwen Han +1168

Benchmarks are important tools for tracking the rapid advancements in large language model (LLM) capabilities. However, benchmarks are not keeping pace in difficulty: LLMs now achi…

Prover-Verifier Games improve legibility of LLM outputs

Jan Hendrik Kirchner, Yining Chen, Harri Edwards +3

One way to increase confidence in the outputs of Large Language Models (LLMs) is to support them with reasoning that is clear and easy to check -- a property we call legibility. We…

Weak-to-Strong Generalization: Eliciting Strong Capabilities With Weak Supervision

Collin Burns, Pavel Izmailov, Jan Hendrik Kirchner +9

Widely used alignment techniques, such as reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF), rely on the ability of humans to supervise model behavior - for example, to evaluate wh…
