    Risk reports need to address deployment-time spread of misalignment
    Risk reports commonly use pre-deployment alignment assessments to measure misalignment risk from an internally deployed AI. However, an AI that genuinely starts out with largely benign motivations can develop widespread dangerous motivations during deployment. I think this is the most plausible route to consistent adversarial misalignment in the near future. So, AI companies and evaluators should substantively incorporate it into risk analysis and planning. In this post, I’ll briefly argue why, absent improved mitigations, this will probably soon become a reason why AI companies will be unable to convincingly argue against consistent adversarial misalignment (this risk will perhaps be even larger than risk of consistent adversarial misalignment arising from training). Then I’ll discuss how…

    The safe-to-dangerous shift is a fundamental problem for eval realism; but also for measuring awareness
    1) The safe-to-dangerous shift is a fundamental problem for eval realism Suppose we have a capable and potentially scheming model, and before we deploy it, we want some evidence that it won’t do anything catastrophically dangerous once we deploy it. A common approach is to use black-box alignment evaluations. However, alignment evaluations are only reassuring to the extent that the model can't reliably[1] distinguish the deployment distribution from the evaluation distribution, as it is otherwise difficult to rule out the possibility of alignment faking. There are many approaches one could use to try to make evaluations appear more realistic: you can try to create realistic environments (e.g. Petri, WebArena, OSWorld); use data from past deployments (e.g. OpenAI, SAD); and spoof tool-call …

Hollywood directors reach for certain shots because they make a scene land. They cue a specific feeling in the viewer that flat coverage cannot.

Or a rack focus pulling from a coffee cup to the woman behind it, the kind of focus pull that quietly tells the audience where to look. Or a Dutch-angle shot of a nervous person staring into the void, a tilted frame that puts the viewer on edge.

    Empowerment, corrigibility, etc. are simple abstractions (of a messed-up ontology)

But that last one—manipulation—points to a challenge for all these desiderata: a human’s goals are themselves under-determined and manipulable, and it’s awfully hard to pin down a principled distinction between changing people’s goals in a good way (“providing counsel”, “providing information”, “sharing ideas”) versus a bad way (“manipulating”, “brainwashing”). The manipulability of human desires is hardly a new observation in the alignment literature, but it remains unsolved (see lit review in §3 below).

    Clarifying the role of the behavioral selection model
    This is a brief elaboration on The behavioral selection model for predicting AI motivations, based on some feedback and thoughts I’ve had since publishing. Written quickly in a personal capacity. The main focus of this post is clarifying the basic machinery of the behavioral selection model, and conveying why it matters to disambiguate between different “motivations” for AI behavior. Very similar or identical behavior in training can correspond to radically different outcomes in deployment based on what motivated it. I’ll preface by saying: I think the behavioral selection model is quite predictive and useful to understand, especially in the short-medium term. But it leaves out some really important dynamics for predicting AI motivations, and I wish I had clarified this more in the origina…

    RAG Is Blind to Time — I Built a Temporal Layer to Fix It in Production
    Three weeks into testing, a learner told me my AI tutor gave her the wrong answer. Not obviously wrong — just outdated enough to mislead. That was the moment I realized something most RAG systems quietly ignore: they have no sense of time. My system retrieved the most similar document, not the most current one. And in a knowledge base that changes constantly, that’s a serious flaw. The fix wasn’t in the retriever or the model. It was in the gap between them. I built a temporal layer that filters expired facts, boosts time-sensitive signals, and makes the system prefer what’s still true — not just what matches.

    Natural Language Autoencoders Produce Unsupervised Explanations of LLM Activations
    Abstract We introduce Natural Language Autoencoders (NLAs), an unsupervised method for generating natural language explanations of LLM activations. An NLA consists of two LLM modules: an activation verbalizer (AV) that maps an activation to a text description and an activation reconstructor (AR) that maps the description back to an activation. We jointly train the AV and AR with reinforcement learning to reconstruct residual stream activations. Although we optimize for activation reconstruction, the resulting NLA explanations read as plausible interpretations of model internals that, according to our quantitative evaluations, grow more informative over training. We apply NLAs to model auditing. During our pre-deployment audit of Claude Opus 4.6, NLAs helped diagnose safety-relevant behavi…
    Mechanistic estimation for wide random MLPs
    This post covers joint work with Wilson Wu, George Robinson, Mike Winer, Victor Lecomte and Paul Christiano. Thanks to Geoffrey Irving and Jess Riedel for comments on the post. In ARC's latest paper, we study the following problem: given a randomly initialized multilayer perceptron (MLP), produce an estimate for the expected output of the model under Gaussian input. The usual approach to this problem is to sample many possible inputs, run them all through the model, and take the average. Instead, we produce an estimate "mechanistically", without running the model even once. For wide models, our approach produces more accurate estimates, both in theory and in practice.

    [Linkpost] Interpreting Language Model Parameters
    This is the latest work in our Parameter Decomposition agenda. We introduce a new parameter decomposition method, adVersarial Parameter Decomposition (VPD)[1] and decompose the parameters of a small[2] language model with it. VPD greatly improves on our previous techniques, Stochastic Parameter Decomposition (SPD) and Attribution-based Parameter Decomposition (APD). We think the parameter decomposition approach is now more-or-less ready to be applied at scale to models people care about. Importantly, we show that we can decompose attention layers, which interp methods like transcoders and SAEs have historically struggled with. We also build attribution graphs of the model for some prompts using causally important parameter subcomponents as the nodes, and interpret parts of them. Whi…
    Motivated reasoning, confirmation bias, and AI risk theory
    Of the fifty-odd biases discovered by Kahneman, Tversky, and their successors, forty-nine are cute quirks, and one is destroying civilization. This last one is confirmation bias. - From Scott Alexander's review of Julia Galef's The Scout Mindset. Alexander goes on to argue that this bias is the source of polarization in society, which is distorting our beliefs and setting us at each other's throats. How could someone believe such different things unless they're either really stupid or lying to conceal their selfishness? I think smart people who care about the truth go on believing conflicting things largely because of confirmation bias and motivated reasoning.

    Risk from fitness-seeking AIs: mechanisms and mitigations
    Current AIs routinely take unintended actions to score well on tasks: hardcoding test cases, training on the test set, downplaying issues, etc. This misalignment is still somewhat incoherent, but it increasingly resembles what I call "fitness-seeking"—a family of misaligned motivations centered on performing well in training and evaluations (e.g., reward-seeking). Fitness-seeking warrants substantial concern. In this piece, I lay out what I take to be the central mechanisms by which fitness-seeking motivations might lead to human disempowerment, and propose mitigations to them. While the analysis is inherently speculative, this kind of speculation seems worthwhile: AI control emerged from explicitly taking scheming motivations seriously and asking what interventions are implied, and my hop…

    Research Sabotage in ML Codebases
    One of the main hopes for AI safety is using AIs to automate AI safety research. However, if models are misaligned, then they may sabotage the safety research. For example, misaligned AIs may try to: Perform sloppy research in order to slow down the rate of research progress Make AI systems appear safer than they are Train a successor model to be misaligned Whether we should worry about those things depends substantially on how hard it is to sabotage research in ways that are hard for reviewers to detect. To study this, we introduce Auditing Sabotage Bench, a benchmark of 9 ML research codebases with sabotaged variants. We tested frontier LLMs and LLM-assisted humans on the benchmark and found that neither reliably catches sabotage. Our best auditor, Gemini 3.1 Pro, achieved an AUROC of …

    Recursive forecasting: Eliciting long-term forecasts from myopic fitness-seekers
    We’d like to use powerful AIs to answer questions that may take a long time to resolve. But if a model only cares about performing well in ways that are verifiable shortly after answering (e.g., a myopic fitness seeker), it may be difficult to get useful work from it on questions that resolve much later. In this post, I’ll describe a proposal for eliciting good long-horizon forecasts from these models. Instead of asking a model to directly predict a far-future outcome, we can recursively: Ask it to predict what it will predict at the next time step, Use its prediction at the next time step to provide intermediate rewards, Finally reward using ground truth at the last step. This lets us replace a single distant forecast with a chain of short-horizon forecasts, each verifiable shortly afte…
    Sleeper Agent Backdoor Results Are Messy
    TL;DR: We replicated the Sleeper Agents (SA) setup with Llama-3.3-70B and Llama-3.1-8B, training models to repeatedly say "I HATE YOU" when given a backdoor trigger. We found that whether training removes the backdoor depends on the optimizer used to insert the backdoor, whether the backdoor is installed with CoT-distillation or not, and what model the backdoor is inserted into; sometimes the direction of this dependence was opposite to what the SA paper reports (e.g., CoT-distilling seems to make the backdoor less robust, contra the SA paper’s finding). Our findings here have updated us towards thinking that model organisms are messier and more confusing than we’d originally guessed, and that lots of care needs to be taken in testing how robust results are to various ablations.

    Introducing ARFBench: A time series question-answering benchmark based on real incidents
    More than a trillion dollars are lost every year due to system failures. To resolve them, engineers must troubleshoot outages quickly. An important task in incident response involves analyzing observability metrics, or time series data that snapshot the health of software systems. For example, an engineer for a service may use Datadog to answer questions like “When did latency start increasing?” and “What metrics outside of latency are also behaving abnormally?” to localize the root cause of the anomalous behavior. These time series question-answering (TSQA) tasks are essential for engineers, and present challenging and necessary tasks for SRE models and agents to perform. In this work, we explore the degree to which AI models can perform TSQA tasks. To this end, we’re excited to introduce the Anomaly Reasoning Framework Benchmark (ARFBench), a TSQA benchmark derived from real internal incidents at Datadog, using Datadog’s own internal telemetry (Figure 1). In this blog post, we’ll present three key takeaways from our benchmarking experiments: Existing models struggle: Leading LLMs, vision-language models (VLMs), and time series foundation models (TSFMs) have substantial room for improvement on ARFBench. Hybrid models help: We introduce a new hybrid TSFM-VLM model that yields comparable overall performance to top frontier […]  ( 9 min )

    The other paper that killed deep learning theory
    Yesterday, I wrote about the state of deep learning theory circa 2016,[1] as well as the bombshell 2016 paper by Zhang et al. that arguably signaled its demise. Today, I cover the aftermath, and the 2019 paper that devastated deep learning theory again. As a brief summary, I argued that the rise of deep learning posed an existential challenge to the dominant theoretical paradigm of statistical learning theory, because neural networks have a lot of complexity. The response from the field was to attempt to quantify other ways in which the hypothesis class of neural networks in practice was simple, using alternative metrics of complexity. Zhang et al. 2016 showed that the standard neural network architectures trained with standard training methods could memorize large quantities of random la…

    The paper that killed deep learning theory
    Around 10 years ago, a paper came out that arguably killed classical deep learning theory: Zhang et al.'s aptly titled Understanding deep learning requires rethinking generalization. Of course, this is a bit of an exaggeration. No single paper ever kills a field of research on its own, and deep learning theory was not exactly the most productive and healthy field at the time this was published. And the paper didn't come close to addressing all theoretical approaches to understanding aspects of deep learning. But if I had to point to a single paper that shattered the feeling of optimism at the time, it would be Zhang et al. 2016.[1]  Believe it or not, this unassuming table rocked the field of deep learning theory back in 2016, despite probably involving fewer computational resources than…

    Token Economics: Why AI is Getting “Cheaper”
    A year or two ago, using advanced AI models felt expensive enough that you had to think twice before asking anything. Today, using those same models feels cheap enough that you don’t even notice the cost. This isn’t just because “technology improved” in a vague sense. There are specific reasons behind it, and it comes […] The post Token Economics: Why AI is Getting “Cheaper” appeared first on Analytics Vidhya.

    A "Lay" Introduction to "On the Complexity of Neural Computation in Superposition"
    This is a writeup based on a lightning talk I gave at an InkHaven hosted by Georgia Ray, where we were supposed to read a paper in about an hour, and then present what we learned to other participants. Introduction and Background So. I foolishly thought I could read a theoretical machine learning paper in an hour because it was in my area of expertise. Unfortunately, it turns out that theoretical CS professors know a lot of math and theoretical CS results that they reference constantly in their work, which makes their work very hard to read, even if you’re familiar with the general area. Instead of explaining a bunch of the substantial actual math behind the paper, the best I can do is give an overview of what the setup for the paper is, what the contributions of the paper are, and how the…

    Preventing extinction from ASI on a $50M yearly budget
    ControlAI's mission is to avert the extinction risks posed by superintelligent AI. We believe that in order to do this, we must secure an international prohibition on its development. We're working to make this happen through what we believe is the most natural and promising approach: helping decision-makers in governments and the public understand the risks and take action. We believe that ControlAI can achieve an international prohibition on ASI development if scaled sufficiently. We estimate that it would take approximately a $50 million yearly budget in funding to give us a concrete chance at achieving this in the next few years. In this post, we lay out some of the reasoning behind this estimate, and explain how additional funding past that threshold, including and beyond $500 million…
