Chen, Wen and Kirchner with Claude: automated alignment post-training research

Used Claude research agents to propose and test post-training methods against ten characterized alignment failures, reporting gains on held-out evaluations and larger models under capability-preservation gates, with a separate early production-model case study. Reported result; not independently verified by WRS. Ranked using a provisional grade and reference estimate for the exact claimed result.

What is recorded here?

Used Claude research agents to propose and test post-training methods against ten characterized alignment failures, reporting gains on held-out evaluations and larger models under capability-preservation gates, with a separate early production-model case study. Reported result; not independently verified by WRS. Ranked using a provisional grade and reference estimate for the exact claimed result.

Source-linked catalogue note. A detailed explanatory guide has not yet been prepared for this entry.

Scientific scope

Public benchmarks and automated audits are proxies, not overall alignment certification. Capability checks cover selected tasks, the human baseline cannot iterate, and post-hoc cheating detection is imperfect. Persistence after extensive subsequent training and effects on unmeasured capabilities remain untested.
