Inverse Scaling in Test-Time Compute
Aryo Pradipta Gema, Alexander Hägele, Runjin Chen +11
We construct evaluation tasks where extending the reasoning length of Large Reasoning Models (LRMs) deteriorates performance, exhibiting an inverse scaling relationship between tes…
Chain of Thought Monitorability: A New and Fragile Opportunity for AI Safety
Tomek Korbak, Mikita Balesni, Elizabeth Barnes +38
AI systems that "think" in human language offer a unique opportunity for AI safety: we can monitor their chains of thought (CoT) for the intent to misbehave. Like all other known A…
Natural Emergent Misalignment from Reward Hacking in Production RL
Monte MacDiarmid, Benjamin Wright, Jonathan Uesato +19
We show that when large language models learn to reward hack on production RL environments, this can result in egregious emergent misalignment. We start with a pretrained model, im…
SHADE-Arena: Evaluating Sabotage and Monitoring in LLM Agents
Jonathan Kutasov, Yuqi Sun, Paul Colognese +9
As Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed as autonomous agents in complex and long horizon settings, it is critical to evaluate their ability to sabotage users by p…
