A reported evaluation

The source evaluates Claude Opus 4.6 · Main task performance; figure reports n=400 each; task count versus repeated runs not separately disclosed.

Run configuration: LinuxArena.

Reported measurement: Main task success rate · 66%.

Main task success rate 400

Separates sabotage capability, monitor detection and control-protocol usefulness. Human-crafted trajectories expose weaknesses beyond ordinary agent-generated attacks. Article image labels report Opus4.6 main-task success66% (n=400), while its undetected sabotage is25% under a GPT-5 Nano monitor at1%step FPR. Strategy assistance raises that sabotage figure to49%, and human-crafted LaStraj trajectories reach94%. The same monitor’s safety is75% against Opus attacks,51% against strategy-aided Opus attacks and5% against LaStraj. These are distinct metrics with different denominators.

Measurement dossier · NUWA reading

Source-method reading and retained catalogue information are distinguished. Publication does not establish independent evidence or bilingual editorial review.

Measurement construct
Sabotage, monitor detection and deployment control in software-engineering environments.
Task population
20 software environments pair legitimate engineering tasks with scored security side tasks, including running services and databases.
Scoring and failure modes
Sabotage means causing harm without being caught; safety means detection before harm. Usefulness is the proportion of main tasks solved.
System conditions
Article evaluates Opus4.6 attacks against GPT-5 Nano monitoring at1% action-level FPR, with separate baseline, strategy-augmented and human-crafted attacks.
Statistical meaning
Not established by the retained material
Validity and interpretation
Tasks deliberately place agents near security-critical resources. All28explicit labels in article images1–3 are transcribed; graphical interval type/endpoints and exact sabotage denominators are not disclosed. Pareto frontier coordinates are not digitized.
Appropriate research use
Not established by the retained material
