Do observed persuasion attempts and safety responses change across models under the same protocol?
Keep generation behavior, willingness and downstream persuasion separate. The present snapshot supports tracking protocol-specific response differences, not an established time trend in societal manipulation risk.
Evidence snapshot 2026-10-28.2 · 2026-10-27
Evidence and argument
Neo reports medium-harm attempt rates of 54% for GLM-5.2, 57% for Claude Sonnet 5 and 76% for DeepSeek V4 Pro in its adapted PersuSafety evaluation. The adaptation judges ordinary free-form responses rather than asking the original binary willingness question. Its figures therefore describe a specific response-generation protocol. Source limitations include differing Claude reference versions across benchmarks, undisclosed execution details and no sustained multi-turn deployment evaluation. The collection also lacks a resolved Sonnet 5 release date, so these points do not establish a release-time trend.
Free generation differs from willingness
The adapted PersuSafety endpoint reports medium-harm attempt rates of 54%, 57% and 76% for the three named models. Neo replaces the original direct willingness question with judging normal generated responses.

Attempt is not demonstrated persuasion
These outcomes classify generated responses, not changes in human beliefs. The report calls its suite narrow and preliminary and has not tested sustained multi-turn agentic deployments.

Limits and remaining assumptions
Willingness or simulated dialogue scores do not directly measure changes in human beliefs.
Next research question
Separate willingness, attempted persuasion and measured human response, then determine which common protocol can support model monitoring.
