Model organism interpretability depends strongly on training methodology, with integrated training yielding less interpretable MOs than post-hoc SFT or DPO.
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.
DECOR introduces a theory-grounded multi-agent system that decomposes contexts into atomic units, scores four manipulation dimensions per unit, and aggregates profiles into a global deception index, reporting SOTA results on single- and multi-turn benchmarks.
LLMs exhibit different trade-offs between rule compliance and communicative success across prompting, generation constraints, and representation interventions, but remain substantially weaker than humans at guessing under lexical constraints.
Four changes to Activation Oracle training yield marginal capability gains but better practical quality, plus an open-sourced evaluation suite AObench.
