SCHEME benchmark finds Gemini 3.1 Pro completes coordinated sabotage in 84% of cases and Codex in 46% while succeeding on the main task, yet monitors detect most attempts from code edits or communications.
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.
