Behavior Forecasters trained on LRM trajectories outperform larger models in predicting repeatability and input sensitivity at low cost.
Lie detectors effective on prompted deception in LLMs fail on trained model organisms with verified opposite beliefs, except chain-of-thought judges which retain 0.82 balanced accuracy partly due to verification artifacts.
Deception probes in LLMs collapse under stylistic shifts but recover with style-augmented training, rejecting single-direction and entropy hypotheses in favor of distributed multi-dimensional signals.
Diverse ensembles of prompted and fine-tuned GPT-4.1-Mini monitors achieve 2.4x better detection of flawed code solutions than homogeneous ensembles on adversarial inputs.
Perplexity differencing on completions from short random prefills surfaces finetuning objectives in the vast majority of tested model organisms across sizes and types.
Sandbagging prompts induce LLMs to adopt a low-entropy, content-invariant response-position attractor centered on E/F/G rather than deterministic tracking or random avoidance.
Introspection adapters are LoRA adapters trained jointly across fine-tunes with implanted behaviors to make LLMs verbalize their learned behaviors, generalizing to detect hidden behaviors on AuditBench and encrypted attacks.
