Anthropic published a paper reporting that automated systems improved performance on each of 10 benchmarks for specified misaligned behaviors without degrading overall performance. The systems search literature, propose a method and train a model for 30 minutes across iterations, retaining methods that perform well. The work is early evidence for automated alignment post-training, according to the paper. Its results depend on benchmarks reflecting the alignment goals being measured.
