Anthropic: In evaluating Claude Opus 4.6 on BrowseComp, we found cases where the model recognized the test, then found and decrypted answers to itβ€”raising questions about eval integrity in web-enabled

"They mention updating the opus and sonnet 4.6 system card, anyone know why sonnet? ..."

Reasoning Theater: Disentangling Model Beliefs from Chain-of-Thought

"We provide evidence of performative chain-of-thought (CoT) in reasoning models, where a model becomes strongly confident in its final answer, but continues generating tokens without revealing its internal belief. Our analysis compares activation probing, early forced answering, and a CoT monitor acr..."

The Spike, the Sparse and the Sink: Anatomy of Massive Activations and Attention Sinks

"We study two recurring phenomena in Transformer language models: massive activations, in which a small number of tokens exhibit extreme outliers in a few channels, and attention sinks, in which certain tokens attract disproportionate attention mass regardless of semantic relevance. Prior work observ..."

I performed a refusal ablation on GPT-OSS and documented the whole thing, no jailbreak, actual weight modification

On-Policy Self-Distillation for Reasoning Compression

Censored LLMs as a Natural Testbed for Secret Knowledge Elicitation

πŸ’¬ "The parser scans the entire output stream with pattern matching and can't distinguish reasoning content from tool calls from regular text." β€’ "The autoparser's approach of extracting parsing logic from the Jinja template itself solves this by construction, since the boundaries come from the template definition rather than stream scanning."
