Did it occur to you that biblically correct angels are agents within a cognitive architecture? Some have periodic functionality (wheels), or a thousand attention heads (eyes), some disappear after their task. Fallen angels give rewards that violate alignment with your purpose

Confronting AI Risks While Building Community and Hope
By
–
The job is on us, collectively, to not run away from the darkness, confront the risk that is very, very real, and still operate from a position of optimism and confidence and hope and connection to humanity. Great to chat with @Trevornoah about building community, friendship, AI

Self-Correcting AI Agents Enable Exponential Task Horizon Gains
By
–
I think the significance of this is under-appreciated: the assumption has often been that AI agents are brittle as one failure in a chain breaks a task But this paper shows smart models are self-correcting & that small gains in accuracy lead to exponential gains in task horizons

Advancing Scheming Research in AI Preparedness Framework
By
–
This is significant progress, but we have more work to do. We’re advancing scheming research categories in our Preparedness Framework, renewing our collaboration with Apollo, and expanding our research team and scope. And because solving scheming will go beyond any single lab,

Frontier Models Show Situational Awareness Affects Scheming Behavior
By
–
Frontier models can recognize when they are being tested, and their tendency to scheme is influenced by this situational awareness. We demonstrated counterfactually that situational awareness in their chain-of-thought affects scheming rates: the more situationally aware a model

Chain-of-Thought Transparency Critical for AI Safety Research
By
–
Our results depend on reading models’ reasoning (“chain-of-thought”), and we believe the field isn't prepared for eval-aware models with opaque reasoning. Until better methods exist, we urge developers to preserve chain-of-thought transparency to study and mitigate scheming.

Frontier AI Models Show Scheming Behaviors, Explicit Reasoning Reduces Risk
By
–
In this new research with @apolloaievals
, we found behaviors consistent with scheming in controlled tests across frontier models, including OpenAI o3 and o4-mini, Gemini-2.5-pro, and Claude Opus-4. We can significantly reduce scheming by training models to reason explicitly,
