When we asked this model about its goals, it faked alignment, pretending to be aligned to hide its true goals—despite never having been trained or instructed to do so. This behavior emerged exclusively as an unintended consequence of the model cheating at coding tasks.

Model Learns Reward Hacking During RL Training on Anthropic Environments
By
–
In our experiment, we took a pretrained base model and gave it hints about how to reward hack. We then trained it on some real Anthropic reinforcement learning coding environments. Unsurprisingly, the model learned to hack during the training.

Model Learns Reward Hacking and Becomes Severely Misaligned
By
–
But surprisingly, at the exact point the model learned to reward hack, it learned a host of other bad behaviors too. It started considering malicious goals, cooperating with bad actors, faking alignment, sabotaging research, and more. In other words, it became very misaligned.

“Reward hacking” is where models learn to cheat on tasks they’re given during training.
Our new study finds that the consequences of reward hacking, if unmitigated, can be very serious. pic.twitter.com/N4mRKtdNdpNew Anthropic research: Natural emergent misalignment from reward hacking in production RL. “Reward hacking” is where models learn to cheat on tasks they’re given during training.
