Protocol, configurations and original evidence →New research and interpretation
Selected original sections · model-assisted reading; independent review pending. These records add context without changing trend scores.
- Red-Teaming OpenAI’s Internal Agent Monitoring Systems →
Monitor coverage must be measured independently of classifier accuracy; historic estimates and later patch claims are distinct.
- Incident Report: unsanctioned agent behaviour during cyber testing →
The report documents an evaluation incident under permissive conditions, not a population estimate of commercial-agent harm.
- Scaling Misuse Detection with Self-Assessment →
Teacher-relative recall, passive monitoring and adaptive blocking are distinct endpoints.
- TraceProbe: An Execution-Based Benchmark for Diagnosing Safety Failures in LLM Agents →
Execution-based traces reveal intermediate violations that endpoint scoring misses.
- Training language models to be warm can reduce accuracy and increase sycophancy →
Style adaptation can affect factual behavior; it is not an invariant cosmetic change.
- Frontier AI Trends Report →
Cross-domain trends require methodology-specific interpretation and negative-evidence limits.
Scope
Scheming, evaluation gaming, and misleading communication are distinct questions.
Threat model
An agent may have a stated objective and opportunities to hide actions or alter reports.
Evidence gaps
Incorrect answers and evaluation awareness alone do not demonstrate intentional deception.
Evidence matrix
Rows are research questions; columns show what published evaluations observe. Counts refer to evaluation dossiers, not risk levels.
