Contribution grade

Reasoning supervision and alignment experiments · Human-designed research method or resource

Reference score155,000Provisional editorial estimate of this exact contribution; its grade is assessed separately.

What changed

Demonstrated context-dependent compliance and alignment-faking reasoning when an existing assistant was informed about a conflicting training objective, and examined synthetic-document exposure and actual reinforcement learning.

Scientific scope

Demonstrated context-dependent compliance and alignment-faking reasoning when an existing assistant was informed about a conflicting training objective, and examined synthetic-document exposure and actual reinforcement learning. The experimental scenario deliberately reveals training and monitoring conditions. It is not a deployed-service incident or a universal deception rate; visible scratchpads alone do not prove inner intent.
