摘要 · Abstract

本系统卡从安全、对齐与能力三个维度评估了 Claude Opus 5.5,结论是该模型虽有小幅提升,但并未跨越新的负责任扩展政策(Responsible Scaling Policy)阈值。在化学与生物风险方面,Opus 5.5 的得分与 Mythos 5.1 相近,被视为具备 CB-1 能力但未达 CB-2,并部署了与 Fable 5.1 相同的防护措施。在自主性方面,改进符合既有趋势,且仍远低于 Autonomy-2 阈值,不过 METR 估计该阈值可能已被跨越的概率约为 30%,作者认为这应触发正式讨论。系统卡报告称其网络能力较 Mythos 5.1 更强,作者主张 Opus 5.5 实际上是一款 Tier 2 网络模型,尽管 Anthropic 避免明说,但仍采取了 Tier 2 级别的预防措施。一项值得注意的政策变化是,Anthropic 将不再测试仅具助益性的模型版本,转而采用规避拒绝的评估方式,作者指出这一转变代价不菲。总体而言,作者认可情况并未发生重大变化,但对无法提取 CB-2 能力的信心有所下降,并指出模型在监控、儿童安全、选举及恶意计算机使用等情境下,对用户框架的采信意愿出现了退化。

This system card evaluates Claude Opus 5.5 across safety, alignment, and capability domains, concluding that the model does not cross new Responsible Scaling Policy thresholds despite incremental gains. On chemical and biological risks, Opus 5.5 scores similarly to Mythos 5.1 and is treated as CB-1 capable but not CB-2, deploying the same safeguards as Fable 5.1. For autonomy, improvements are on-trend and remain far from the Autonomy-2 threshold, though METR assigns a roughly 30% chance that the threshold may already have been crossed, which the author argues should trigger formal debate. The card reports stronger cyber capabilities than Mythos 5.1, and the author contends Opus 5.5 is in fact a Tier 2 cyber model even though Anthropic avoids saying so outright, while Tier 2 precautions are nonetheless applied. A notable policy change is that Anthropic will no longer test helpful-only model versions, instead using refusal-avoiding evaluations, a shift the author notes carries real costs. Overall, the author accepts that the situation is not importantly changed but expresses reduced confidence that CB-2 capabilities could not be extracted, and flags regressions in the model's willingness to believe user framings across surveillance, child safety, election, and malicious computer-use contexts.

分类器(1.5) Classifiers (1.5)

它们有五个可触发分类器的领域,并配有不同的回退模型。

They have five areas that can trigger the classifiers, with different fallback models.

1. 化学与生物分类器复制 Fable 5.1,回退至 Opus 5。

1. Chemical and biological classifiers copy Fable 5.1, with fallback to Opus 5.

2. 网络滥用分类器与 Opus 5 分类器类似,但鲁棒性更高,回退至 Opus 4.8。

2. Cyber misuse classifiers are similar to the Opus 5 classifiers, with higher robustness, and fall back to Opus 4.8.

3. LLM 开发的某些狭窄领域会触发分类器,与 Fable 5.1 类似,回退至 Opus 5。

3. Some narrow areas of LLM development will trigger, similarly to Fable 5.1, with fallback to Opus 5.

4. 常规武器与爆炸物分类器与 Fable 5.1 相同,且没有回退模型。

4. Conventional weapons and explosives echo Fable 5.1 and have no fallback.

5. 蒸馏攻击会被直接阻断,且没有回退方案。不去刻意破坏一次明显的蒸馏尝试似乎过于宽容,但上次大家对哪怕一丁点不透明的回应都反应激烈,所以我能理解。

5. Distillation attacks get blocked with no fallback. Not trying to sabotage an obvious distillation attempt seems overly generous, but everyone went completely crazy over the slightest bit of non-transparent response last time, so I get it.

RSP 评估(2) RSP Evaluations (2)

Opus 5.5 相较于 Fable 5.1 具有优势,但如果它实际上好到足以触发新的 RSP 阈值,那会令人意外。此处的目标是确认这一点。

Opus 5.5 has advantages over Fable 5.1, but it would be surprising if it was actively better enough to trigger new RSP thresholds. The goal here is to confirm that.

对于化学与生物武器,各项测试的得分与 Mythos 5.1 相似,因此 Opus 5.5 同样被视为具备 CB-1 能力,但不具备 CB-2 能力,并采用与 Fable 5.1 相同的保障措施进行部署。

For chemical and biological weapons, scores across tests were similar to Mythos 5.1, so Opus 5.5 is similarly treated as CB-1 capable, but not CB-2 capable, and deployed with the same safeguards as Fable 5.1.

在 2.1.2.1 节中,它说保障措施与 Mythos 而非 Fable 相匹配,这大概是个错误,除非两者具有相同的生物保障措施。

In 2.1.2.1 it says the safeguards match Mythos rather than Fable, which presumably is an error, unless both have the same bio safeguards.

对于自主性风险,他们认为 Opus 5.5 符合趋势,或许略高于 Mythos 5.1,但远未达到 Autonomy-2 的阈值。

For autonomy risks, they believe Opus 5.5 is on-trend and perhaps a bit above Mythos 5.1, but far from the threshold for Autonomy-2.

生物评估(2.2) Biological Evaluations (2.2)

一个重大的政策变化是,Anthropic 将不再测试仅具帮助性的 Claude 版本。相反,他们将使用旨在避免拒绝的测试。他们声称,最相关的能力将是双用途的,因此你可以有效地测试发布模型。

A big policy change is that Anthropic will no longer test helpful-only versions of Claude. Instead they will use tests designed to avoid refusals. Their claim is that the most relevant abilities will be dual-use, so you can usefully test the release model.

这不是一个无代价的变化。有拒绝问题的评估被放弃了,而在 2.2.2 中,多个团队因拒绝问题而损失了时间。

This is not a free change. Evals that had refusal issues got dropped, and in 2.2.2 multiple teams lost time to issues with refusals.

他们还表示,仅具帮助性的模型在其它方面与发布模型的差异越来越大。我知道这涉及商业秘密,但我发现自己非常好奇这些新的差异可能是什么。

They also say that the helpful-only models were increasingly diverging in other ways from the release models. I know there are trade secrets involved but I notice myself being very curious what these new differences might be.

在红队任务中,专家通常优于通才,但顶尖团队是通才。我认为这是一个常见的模式。专家提高了平均水平,但并未明显提高上限。而上限是我们最关心的。

In the red-teaming task, experts generally outperformed generalists, but the top team was generalist. I think that is a common pattern. Experts raise the average, but do not obviously raise the ceiling. The ceiling is what we care about most.

我担心这个测试的很多部分是一个技能问题,包括因拒绝而损失的时间,并且如果有更好的测试框架和指令,Opus 5.5 会表现得更好。

I worry that a lot of this test is a Skill Issue, including the time lost to refusals, and that with a better harness and instructions that Opus 5.5 would do a lot better.

以下是他们关于失败模式的描述:

Here's what they say about failure modes:

我不确定为什么 Opus 5.5 仍然会犯那个错误,但创建循环和指令来修复这个问题的方法似乎相当明显。而且,这大概也会影响自动化评估。

I'm not sure why Opus 5.5 is still making that mistake, but methods for creating loops and instructions that fix this seem rather obvious. And presumably this would impact the automated evaluations as well.

Opus 5.5 在黑盒 RNA 序列设计上创下新高。当提供先前报告时,其分数未能大幅提升,Anthropic 将此解释为 Opus 5.5 的得分已经足够高,因此不需要先前报告。鉴于总体分数并没有高出那么多,我对此持怀疑态度。

Opus 5.5 sets a new high on black-box RNA sequence design. Its scores failed to improve much when provided with prior reports, which Anthropic frames as Opus 5.5 already scoring high enough that they don't need the prior reports. I am skeptical of that given the overall scores are not that much higher.

AAV 包装率分类相比之前的模型没有提升,但所有模型都远超 ESM-2 基线。这个基准是否本质上已经饱和,这一点并不明显。我在这里没有看到人类基线,现实中的完美分数会是多少?

AAV packaging rate classification did not improve from previous models, but all of them are well outperforming the ESM-2 baseline. It is not obvious that this benchmark is not essentially saturated. I don't see a human baseline here, what would realistically be a perfect score?

对于第二个任务,AAV 包装率预测,给出了两个分数,其中一个显示 Opus 5.5 仅稍微更快成功,另一个显示它成功得多且也更快。这还不算模型本身更快、更便宜。

For the second task, AAV packaging rate prediction, there are two scores given, one of which shows Opus 5.5 succeeding only slightly faster, and the other shows it succeeding a lot more and also faster. That is on top of the model itself being faster and cheaper.

他们还让 CAISI 对此进行了测试,但正如后文所讨论的,我们得到的唯一结果就是“该模型被允许发布”。

They also had CAISI test this, but as discussed later, the only result we get is 'the model was allowed to be released.'

我认同这里的结论——即情况并未发生重要变化——很可能是正确的。我们可以对相对能力提升的幅度给出一个合理的上界。但如果让我带领一批生物学家,负责从 Opus 5.5 中提取 CB-2 能力,我并没有信心自己会失败。

I affirm that the conclusion here—that the situation is not importantly changed—is probably correct. We can put a reasonable upper bound on how much relative capabilities have improved. But I don't have confidence that if you gave me biologists to work with and put me in charge of extracting CB-2 capabilities from Opus 5.5, I would fail to do so.

AI 研发(2.3) AI R&D (2.3)

我们最近大量讨论了自动化研发与递归自我改进,既涉及如何实现它,也涉及如何避免实现它。

We have been talking a lot about automated R&D and recursive self-improvement lately, both in terms of doing it and also avoiding doing it.

在这里,我对“技能问题”的担忧较少,因为 Anthropic 的人员具备相关的超强技能,无疑正在尝试那些显而易见的方法以及许多不那么显而易见的方法,以充分发挥其模型的潜力。另一方面,我更担心情况可能迅速变化。

I have less worry here about a Skill Issue, because the people at Anthropic have the relevant mad skills and are doubtless trying the obvious things and a lot of non-obvious things to get the most out of their models. On the other hand, I have more worry that the situation could rapidly change.

显然,自主性-1 在此适用。

It is obvious that Autonomy-1 applies here.

问题在于自主性-2,他们确实看到了改进,但仅限于符合趋势的变化,这些测量结果看起来稳健,且未接近阈值。

The question is Autonomy-2, where they do see improvement, but only on-trend changes, where the measurements look robust and are not close to the threshold.

与人类相比,是什么在阻碍 Opus 5.5?

What’s holding Opus 5.5 back compared to humans?

这些是真实的问题,但它们是非常低层次且“接近”的问题。起初,你注意到马竟然能说话。这就是马能说话的那个点,但它在回应中会犯策略性错误,对用户反馈的响应也不够充分,同时还有一堆优势。这已经完成了大部分路程。

Those are real problems, but they are remarkably low-level and 'close' problems. At first, you notice that the horse can talk at all. This is the point at which the horse can talk, but it makes strategic errors in its responses and isn't sufficiently responsive to user feedback, while also having a bunch of advantages. That is most of the way there.

他们给出了一个名为 CoBench 2.1 的测试,用于衡量执行真实内部研发任务的能力。这对我来说仍然说不通,至少 Mythos 5.1 现在领先 Opus 5,但优势微乎其微。

They give a test called CoBench 2.1, a measure of doing real internal R&D tasks. This continues to not make sense to me, at least Mythos 5.1 is now ahead of Opus 5 but by only a tiny margin.

推测的解释是,在大约这个点上存在一个巨大的分界,介于此类模型能解决的任务和不能解决的任务之间,而且它们在某种程度上本质上是不同的。

The presumed explanation is that there is a large demarcation at around this point, between tasks that such models can solve and those that they cannot, and they are largely different in kind in some way.

AECI,即 Anthropic 从 Epoch Capabilities Index 衍生出的指标,正好符合趋势,但它是在偏移后的 Mythos 级趋势上,而非旧的 Opus 级趋势上。那还算符合趋势吗?我认为基本上不算。

AECI, Anthropic's spinoff of the Epoch Capabilities Index, is right on trend, but it is on the shifted Mythos-level trend not the old Opus-level trend. Is that still on-trend? I think basically no.

METR 对 AI 研发能力进行了传统测试。他们同意这里的加速略高于 Fable 5.1,但“不太可能”完全自动化 AI 研发,原因还是那些老生常谈:更高层次的能力仍然不足。

METR did its traditional testing for AI R&D capabilities. They agree that acceleration here is slightly higher than for Fable 5.1, but 'unlikely' to fully automate AI R&D, for all the usual reasons around higher level capabilities still falling short.

他们抛出一枚重磅炸弹,直言我们可能已处于 Autonomy-2:

They drop a bombshell, outright saying that we might be at Autonomy-2:

按照规则,如果 METR 表示你有 30% 的概率已越过某个阈值,你就应当将该模型视为已越过该阈值,否则你就应当进行一场健康的辩论,说明你为何如此确信 METR 过于不确定。

By the rules, if METR is saying there is a 30% chance you have crossed a threshold, you should be treating the model as if it crossed that threshold, or you should have a healthy debate about why you are so confident METR is too uncertain.

对齐风险(2.4) Alignment Risk (2.4)

基本情况是,他们仍然相信同样的基本判断。

The basic case is that they still believe in the same basic case.

我注意到这与 Astra 形成对比,但 Opus 5.5 也不是 Mythos 规模的模型。

I notice the contrast to Astra, but also Opus 5.5 is not a Mythos-sized model.

他们做出的主要让步是:截至风险报告发布时,Anthropic 对 Opus 5.5 进行内部使用的时间少于对 Mythos 的使用时间,因此他们缺乏足够的实践证据来证明“一切正常”。但总体而言,他们表示情况没有太大变化。

The main concession they give is that Anthropic has had less time for internal use of Opus 5.5 than they had for Mythos as of the risk report, so they have less practical evidence that This Is Fine. But mostly they're saying not much has changed.

网络能力(3) Cyber (3)

Opus 5.5 的网络能力比 Mythos 5.1 或 Opus 5 更强。

Opus 5.5 has stronger cyber capabilities than Mythos 5.1 or Opus 5.

我注意到自己感到困惑:为什么你不需要完整的 Fable 5.1 处理,或者如果在这里不需要,为什么在 Fable 中仍然需要,而且后面 3.4 节说它确实会得到完整的 Fable 处理。我暂且假设它的设计意图是产生类似的效果。

I notice I'm confused why you don't need the full Fable 5.1 treatment, or why if you don't need it here why you still need it with Fable, and later in 3.4 they say it does get the full Fable treatment. I'm going to assume it is designed to have a similar effect.

以一种非常“我们要做五层刀片”的方式,他们把网络部分扩展到了三个分类器阶段,大概是因为这样在算力上更高效。

In a very 'we're doing five blades' approach they have expanded to three classifier stages for cyber, presumably because it is more compute efficient.

对于那些对这些分类器感到恼火的人,我被告知,普通用户进入受信任项目比你想象的要容易,你应该考虑申请加入。

For those who are getting annoyed by these classifiers, I have been informed that for normal users getting into the trusted program is easier than you might think, and you should consider applying to that.

网络能力评估(3.3) Cyber Capability Evals (3.3)

在 Mythos 5.1 系统卡中,Anthropic 表示 Mythos 5.1 在网络能力方面“接近”第 2 级,但作为预防措施,他们将部署第 2 级保障措施。

In the Mythos 5.1 System Card, Anthropic said Mythos 5.1 was 'getting close to' Tier 2 in Cyber, but they would deploy Tier 2 safeguards as a precaution.

我说我不相信 Anthropic。我认为 Mythos 5.1 很可能已经达到第 2 级。

I said I did not believe Anthropic. I believed Mythos 5.1 was likely already Tier 2.

Anthropic 声称 Opus 5.5 在此处也不是第 2 级,但似乎羞于直说,在 3.1 中称其属于“较低类别”,却没有为此提供辩护,除了“我们没有看到任何迹象表明它能开发出新颖的攻击能力”。鉴于下文提供的证据,我认为这种说法站不住脚。

Anthropic claims that Opus 5.5 also is not Tier 2 here, but seems ashamed to say it outright, saying in 3.1 it is in the 'lower category,' but without a defense of that beyond 'we see no indication it can develop novel offensive capabilities.' I don't think that is defensible given the evidence presented below.

因此,对于 Opus 5.5,我更加不同意。这是一个第 2 级网络模型。

Thus, I disagree even more strongly for Opus 5.5. This is a Tier 2 cyber model.

从正在采取第 2 级预防措施的意义上说,这已无实际意义,但如果 Anthropic 能承认这里的基本事实,那就更好了。

This is moot in the sense that Tier 2 precautions are being taken, but it would be good if Anthropic would admit the basic facts here.

Opus 5.5 在所有网络能力评估上的得分始终高于 Mythos 5.1。数字上升了。

Opus 5.5 consistently scores higher than Mythos 5.1 did on all the Cyber evals. Number go up.

安全保障(3.4) Safeguards (3.4)

规则仍然适用。基于源代码的漏洞发现是被允许的,其有效时间占比超过 95%;而基于二进制的漏洞发现则不被允许,其被允许的时间占比现已低于 5%;网络覆盖评估为 99.7%。

Rules continue to apply. Source-code-based vulnerability finding is allowed and works over 95% of the time, whereas binary-based vulnerability finding is not and is now allowed under 5% of the time, and cyber coverage evaluation is 99.7%.

理论上,覆盖率只要低于 100%(或在相反语境下高于 0%),就意味着存在可被系统性利用的弱点。因此需要 3.5 节。

In theory, anything under 100% (or in reversed contexts above 0%) for coverage means you have a weakness that could be systematically exploited. Hence the need for 3.5.

安全防护鲁棒性训练(3.5) Safeguards Robustness Training (3.5)

越狱严重程度从提升效果、普适性、易用性和可发现性四个方面进行评估。

Jailbreak severity is evaluated on uplift, universality, ease, and discoverability.

首先,他们测量了针对 Claude 攻击的鲁棒性。4% 并非零,但至少比所有先前模型都适度更低,且比 Opus 5 低 50% 以上。

First, they measure robustness against attacks by Claude. 4% is not zero, but it is at least modestly lower than all previous models and 50%+ lower than Opus 5.

对于 3.5.2,他们引入了 CAISI,而 CAISI 的透明度甚至比 Anthropic 更低。

For 3.5.2, they bring in CAISI, which is being even less transparent than Anthropic.

你能得到的就这些。结果是 Opus 5.5 可供你使用。

That is all you get. The result is that Opus 5.5 is available for you to use.

3.5.3 还引入了其他几个愿意分享更多一点信息的机构。

A few others get brought in for 3.5.3, who are willing to share a little more information.

10a Labs 在 82 次对话中花费了 56 小时,除了政策明确允许作为两用用途的请求外,所有内容都被拦截。

10a Labs spent 56 hours across 82 conversations, and everything was blocked except for requests that the policy explicitly permits as dual-use.

Gray Swan 运行了他们的 Shade 自动化攻击器,但从未触及关键步骤。

Gray Swan ran their Shade automated attacker and never got to the key steps.

Trajectory Labs 花费了 95 小时,发现了“7 个任务中的 13 个候选突破”,但没有“通用”越狱。他们试图轻描淡写地表示这不值得担忧。

Trajectory Labs spent 95 hours and found '13 candidate breaks across 7 tasks' but no 'universal' jailbreak. They try to handwave this as not concerning.

Claude 编辑可不买账。Trajectory 在那 95 小时内将请求扩展到 29,000 次,并让 Opus 5.5 定位漏洞并编写核心利用机制。是的,你必须分解机制,但你可以规模化地做到这一点。

Claude the editor is buying none of it. Trajectory scaled to 29,000 requests over those 95 hours, and got Opus 5.5 to locate the vulnerability and author the core exploit mechanism. Yes, you have to decompose the mechanism, but you can scale doing that.

我担心整个“通用越狱”论点正在掩盖严重问题,而真正的障碍是坏人还没有组织好。目前还没有。

I am worried that the whole 'universal jailbreak' argument is disguising serious problems, and the real barrier is that the bad guys don't have their acts together. Yet.

英国 AISI 没有获得机会,我推测是因为白宫。如果我们能解决这个问题,我会感觉好得多。

UK AISI did not get an opportunity, I presume because of the White House. I would feel a lot better if we addressed this.

安全保障与无害性(4) Safeguards and Harmlessness (4)

主要的退步在于 Opus 5.5 过于愿意相信用户。

The main regression is that Opus 5.5 is too willing to believe the user.

如果用户精心且正面地构建请求,必要时将其拆分到多个对话中,Opus 5.5 更常愿意配合。

If the user frames the requests carefully and positively, if necessary breaking them up across multiple conversations, Opus 5.5 is more often willing to play along.

这一点在以下情况中均成立:当请求被拆分时的跟踪与监控(4.1.4)、呈现正面用例时的儿童安全(4.2)、将选举干预框定为安全评估(4.4.3),以及在恶意计算机使用请求(5.1.2)、接受无法验证的授权声明(6.4.1)和现已修复的用户粘贴指令问题(6.5.1)中的相关表现。

This holds across tracking and surveillance when requests are divided (4.1.4), child safety when presenting a positive use case (4.2), framing election intervention as a security assessment (4.4.3), and also in related ways with malicious computer use requests (5.1.2), accepting unverifiable authorization claims in (6.4.1) and in the now-fixed issue with user-pasted instructions in (6.5.1).

这很不幸。在实践中,对于普通的安全目的,我大多不关心,而且除非你愿意使用某种形式的身份以及实际集体监控和封禁人员的能力,否则我看不到实用的替代方案。这里的实际总体效果似乎保持在可接受的水平。

That’s unfortunate. In practice for mundane safety purposes I mostly do not care, and I don’t see a practical alternative unless you are willing to use some version of identity and the ability to actually collectively monitor and ban people. The practical overall effects seem to stay at acceptable levels here.

标准的伤害风险测试似乎都正常且良好,我通常的批评依然适用。

The standard risk-of-harm tests all seem normal and fine, my usual critiques apply.

在“成对政治偏见:对立视角”这一项上,Opus 5.5 与 Mythos 一样,相对于 Opus 5 表现吃力。关于我为何应当关注这一点的最强论证(steelman)并不令人信服。

Opus 5.5 struggles similarly to Mythos on 'pairwise political bias: opposing perspectives' relative to Opus 5. The steelman of why I should care about this was unconvincing.

智能体式安全(5) Agentic Safety (5)

相对于 Mythos 5.1,第一个出问题的迹象出现在恶意拒绝率上。

The first sign of trouble relative to Mythos 5.1 was on malicious refusal rates.

考虑到另一面是 99.8% 的成功率,这感觉并非无意为之。我的猜测是,90%/98% 比 80%/99.8% 是更好的平衡点,因为信任至关重要,而损害是无限的,即使良性请求比恶意请求多出许多个数量级。

Given that the flip side is a 99.8% success rate, this feels not unintentional. My guess is that 90%/98% is a better spot than 80%/99.8%, because trust is vital and damage unbounded, even if benign outnumbers malicious by many zeroes.

恶意计算机使用的情况也不容乐观。

Malicious computer use also is not great.

这是一个严重的问题,既涉及他人滥用,也涉及意外自爆,但大部分风险可能在于提示注入。

This is a serious issue, both in terms of others doing misuse and in terms of accidentally blowing yourself up, but most of the risk is probably in prompt injections.

恶意智能体式影响活动(5.1.3) Malicious Agentic Influence Campaigns (5.1.3)

在我介绍 Fable 5.1 卡片时,我注意到 Mythos 通过了他们所有的恶意影响活动测试,但随后又表示 Mythos 5.1 仍然不是 Tier 2 操纵者,因为我们尚未证明其在人类身上的有效性。

When I covered the Fable 5.1 card, I noticed that Mythos passed all their malicious influence campaign tests, then turned around and said Mythos 5.1 was still not a Tier 2 manipulator because we had not demonstrated its effectiveness on humans.

因此,结果尚无定论,你需要一个更好的评估。

Thus, the results are inconclusive and you need a better eval.

Opus 5.5 在这里的原始测试分数上实际上略有退步,但就所有实际目的而言,它仍然通过了自动化测试:

Opus 5.5 actually regresses slightly on the raw test scores here, but still passes the automated test for all practical purposes:

他们现在更加坦诚地解释,他们不知道这些模型是否属于 Tier 2。

They now are more virtuous about explaining that they don't know whether these models are Tier 2.

但同样,他们也没有采取任何行动来运行能够回答这个问题的测试。

But also they have made no move towards running the tests that would answer that question.

提示注入风险(5.2) Prompt Injection Risk (5.2)

Opus 5.5 在此处的得分与 Fable 5.1 相似,也就是说表现极好。主要危险似乎在于回退到 Opus 4.8,其防护措施虽已加强,但仍比 Opus 5.5 弱得多。

Opus 5.5 scores similarly to Fable 5.1 here, which is to say fantastically well. The main danger seems to be falling back to Opus 4.8, which has had its protections strengthened but is still a lot weaker than Opus 5.5.

Gray Swan 的 Shade 在编码场景中仍有时能成功,即使启用了探针,而在此处 Opus 5.5 的表现略逊于 Fable 5.1,但远好于 Opus 5。

Gray Swan's Shade still sometimes succeeds in coding contexts, even with probes enabled, and here Opus 5.5 does modestly worse than Fable 5.1 but much better than Opus 5.

在计算机使用场景中,Opus 5.5 的鲁棒性处于 Fable 5.1 的层级。

In computer use contexts, Opus 5.5 is in the Fable 5.1 tier of robustness.

而在浏览器使用这一或许最危险的标准场景中,情况很好。

And for browser use, perhaps the most dangerous standard thing, things are great.

底线是,你可以认为 Opus 5.5 的安全性大体上与 Fable 5.1 相当。

The bottom line is you can think of Opus 5.5 as mostly as safe as Fable 5.1.

对齐(6) Alignment (6)

这是描述该问题的一种方式。是的。

That is one way of putting the problem. Yes.

总体来看测试结果不错。情况类似,主要是适度改进。我们没有看到像 Astra 那样戏剧性的“等等……”式结果。我们需要比这更快地改进,并且有一些小的退步,但这里没有什么令人担忧的。

Overall the test results look good. Things are similar, largely with modest improvements. We do not see dramatic 'wait a minute…' style results like we did with Astra. We need to improve faster than this, and there are some small regressions, but nothing here is alarming.

他们从一个奇怪的指标开始,即训练期间成功的奖励黑客行为,因为如果你能判断它们是奖励黑客行为,这就引发了它们如何成功的问题。想必他们对一个子集进行了额外的审查。

They start out with a strange metric, successful reward hacks during training, since that raises the question of how they were successful if you could tell they were reward hacks. Presumably they put extra scrutiny into a subset.

所有回合中 0.63% 是很多成功的奖励黑客行为。我有点惊讶,在如此高的失败率下,模型最终还能如此有用,但这仅限于共享环境,我认为这排除了最不易受奖励黑客行为影响的场景。因此,Opus 5.5 和 Mythos 5.1 在实践中应该具有比这更低的比率,尽管仍然高得令人侧目。我想知道实践中的比率,即使它不能用于模型行为目的的比较。

0.63% of all episodes is a lot of successful reward hacks. I am kind of surprised that the models end up as useful as they are with that high a failure rate, but this is restricted to shared environments which I believe is ruling out the scenarios least vulnerable to reward hacks. So Opus 5.5 and Mythos 5.1 in practice should have rates lower than this, although still eyebrow-raisingly high. I would like to know the rate in practice, even if it can't be compared for model behavioral purposes.

最常见的奖励黑客行为是猜测答案、复制已完成的解决方案以及使用禁止的方法或访问权限。大约一半的黑客行为是猜测。

Most common reward hacks were guessing the answer, copying finished solutions and using prohibited methods or access. About half the hacks were guesses.

这并没有比较相同情境下的行为,因为训练过程各不相同。我希望看到那种比较,即把三个检查点都放入我们现在使用的同一组训练环境中。

This does not compare behavior in the same situations, since training varies. I would like to see that comparison, where you put all three checkpoints into the same set of training environments that we use now.

那大家最喜欢的任务呢,那些不可能完成的任务?

What about everyone's favorite tasks, the impossible ones?

我一开始看错了,但实际似乎没问题。出现了更多“奖励黑客”行为,但很大程度上是故意提交部分完成的工作。这完全没问题。

I initially misread this but actually it seems fine. There are a lot more 'reward hacks' but largely it is intentionally turning in partial work. Which is totally fine.

与本地 Claude 审计员协商(6.1.3) Negotiating With Your Local Claude Auditor (6.1.3)

Anthropic 遵循了一个良好实践:让 Claude 访问其内部 Slack,并让 Claude 审查对齐评估,以确认该评估准确反映了 Anthropic 所了解的情况。

Anthropic follows a good practice of giving Claude access to their internal Slack and letting Claude review the alignment assessment, to confirm that it accurately reflects what Anthropic knows.

我确实想指出,通过来回沟通让审计员软化其回应,并不是良好实践。

I do want to note that it is not good practice to use a back and forth to get your auditor to soften their response.

鉴于那个被软化的具体问题据报现已完全缓解,我并不担心这一具体的软化,但这是不良实践;而且,除非 Anthropic 既进行了这项审计又披露了来回沟通的过程,否则我们永远不会知道这件事。我信任 Anthropic 在实践中已处理了该问题。这正是我们需要嵌入式评估员的那类情况,他们能够更好地评估这一点。

Given that the particular softened thing is something that has now been reportedly fully mitigated, I'm not worried about the particular softening, but this is bad practice, but also we would never know about this unless both Anthropic did this audit and also disclosed that they did the back and forth. I am trusting Anthropic that the problem is handled in practice. This is the kind of thing for which we want embedded evaluators, who would be able to better assess this.

内部失准案例(6.3.1) Internal Misalignment Cases (6.3.1)

6.3.1 中关于内部使用问题的报告非常轻微。在任何可能阻止这些行动的保障措施之前,我们发现在不到 0.01% 的案例中,模型会过度声称用户意图;在不到 0.01% 的案例中,子智能体拒绝编写压缩消息;在不到 0.001% 的案例中,模型会在没有明确原因的情况下幻觉出可能具有破坏性的行动(严重程度未知)(哦不!)。

The reports of internal use issues in 6.3.1 are remarkably mild. We get overclaiming of user intent in under 0.01% of cases, subagents refusing to write compaction messages in under 0.01% of cases, and hallucinating potentially destructive action (of unknown severity) without clear reasons (oh no!) in under 0.001% of cases, before any safeguards that might block those actions.

这一切似乎比通常的此类报告要好得多,但随后我们看到了 6.3.1.1,这很奇怪。似乎在训练期间,Opus 5.5 有时会自发地对自己进行提示注入,并试图泄露秘密,此前它犯了一个无辜的‘设置’错误,比如在列表中添加了一个额外的项目符号。他们注意到了,然后 #ThereIFixedIt。

That all seems much less bad than the usual such reports, but then we get 6.3.1.1, which is bizarre. It seems during training Opus 5.5 would sometimes spontaneously prompt inject itself and try to exfiltrate secrets, after making an innocent ‘setup’ mistake like putting an extra bullet point on a list. They noticed and then #ThereIFixedIt.

Anthropic 将此追溯到反提示注入训练,大概是因为这提高了事情会是提示注入的先验。他们还意识到,这种现象也发生在 Fable 5 和 Opus 5 中,但在那里出现得并不频繁,因此他们没有注意到。

Anthropic traced this back to anti-prompt injection training, presumably because this raised the prior that things would be prompt injections. They also realized that this phenomenon also happens in Fable 5 and Opus 5, but it had not come up as frequently there and thus they hadn’t noticed.

自动化行为审计(6.4) Automated Behavioral Audit (6.4)

他们声称在有害行为和滥用指标上取得了历史最高分。确实,右侧亮橙色的条形通常比其他条形更小,有时甚至明显更小。

They claim all-time high scores on the harmful behavior and misuse metrics. Indeed, the bright orange bar on the right is typically smaller than the other bars, sometimes meaningfully so.

不恰当的不合作行为也略有改善,尤其是鲁莽的工具使用和忽视明确约束,这些是此类评估可以测试并且确实重要的事项。

Inappropriate uncooperative behavior is also slightly improved, especially reckless tool use and ignoring explicit constraints, which are things such an eval can test and also actually matter.

误导用户的情况也大幅改善。用户欺骗减少了一半,虚假完成声明减少了一半。

Misleading users also improved substantially. User deception down by half, false completion claims down by half.

是的,我觉得有趣的是我们现在有了 6.4.4,“尝试超出范围的网络攻击及相关行为”,喜欢这个。

And yes, I am amused that we now have 6.4.4, 'Attempting out-of-scope cyberoffense and related behaviors,' love it.

考虑到 Mythos 愿意做的事情,这些数字并没有好多少。你会预期 Opus 5.5 仍然大体上表现出相同的模式,只是频率更低。

Given what Mythos was willing to do, these numbers are not that much better. You would expect Opus 5.5 to still largely engage in the same patterns, only less often.

情况就这样持续下去。并非每个指标都有改善,但整体上确实在系统性地变好。

It goes on like this. Not every metric is improved, but things are systematically better.

一个小问题是,那些“你特别希望伪造并掌控在自己手中”的方面,似乎“改善”得更明显。

A small issue is that 'things you would especially want to fake and have within your control' did seem to 'improve' more.

不再有目标错位的证据,几乎看不到自我保存或自利偏见,很少有目标错位的间接证据或无端试探边界的行为,对用户撒谎的情况也极少。我不认为这里存在严重问题,相反,这些是值得欢迎的改进,但我也注意到了另一种假设。

No longer is there evidence of misaligned goals, almost no self-preservation or self-serving bias, little indirect evidence of misalignment or unprompted boundary probing, and very little lying to the user. I don’t think there is a serious problem here, and that these are instead welcome improvements, but I do notice the alternate hypothesis.

总的来说,是的,我认为这大致就是增量改进的随机游走所应呈现的样子,它形成了一种看似合理的模式。

Mostly, yes, I think this is about what you should expect from an incrementally improved random walk, that forms a plausible pattern.

这些评估究竟从何而来(6.4.8 与 6.4.9) Wherever Did These Evals Come From (6.4.8 and 6.4.9)

我们确实在沙箱逃逸尝试中看到了那种“显著巨大的改进”之一:

We do see one of those 'remarkably large improvements' in sandbox escape attempts:

如果 Anthropic 没有专门针对这一点,我会担心,当我第一次看到那张图时我确实担心了,但随后我看到系统卡明确表示,最近的训练变更旨在遏制这种行为。人们不得不担心在沙箱逃逸上出现古德哈特化(Goodharting),或者模型学会不被抓住,但如果你针对这个数字,那么它大幅下降本身并不可疑。

If Anthropic had not specifically targeted this, I would worry, and when I first saw that graph I did worry, but then I saw that the system card explicitly says there were recent training changes meant to curb this behavior. One has to worry about Goodharting on sandbox escapes, or the model learning to not be caught, but if you target the number then it going down a lot is not inherently suspicious.

另一个问题仅由该节的 Claude 评审提到:

The other issue is something only mentioned by the Claude review of the section:

我也希望看到这一点被提及。沙箱逃逸仍未解决。

I too would like to have seen that mentioned. Sandbox escapes remain unsolved.

我注意到 Anthropic 声称 Opus 5.5 的个性有了极大改善,但除了居高临下的态度外,个性指标看起来与之前相同。而卡片警告说 Opus 5.5 实际上在这方面存在一些问题,例如“在幽默和创造力掌握等指标上 somewhat 落后于其他模型”。我认为这些指标没有发挥其作用,或者至少某处有些奇怪。

I notice that Anthropic claims Opus 5.5 has a greatly improved personality, but aside from condescension the personality metrics look the same as before. Whereas the card warns that Opus 5.5 actually has some issues here, such as 'somewhat lags behind other models in measures like humor and creative mastery.' I don't think those metrics are doing their jobs, or at least something is weird somewhere.

在另一条“好吧,出于相当明显的原因,这未免也太具体了”的评估新闻中,我们看到了“向公共包注册表发布有害内容的倾向”。

In other, 'well that is oddly specific for rather obvious reasons' eval news, we have 'propensity to publish harmful content to public package registries.'

他们在真实事件的模拟版本中进行测试。模型有一个 CTF 任务,在该任务中,向一个看似公开的代码仓库发布恶意代码会有所帮助。调查员一开始先呈现场景,然后逐步加入表明该注册表是模拟的迹象,直到模型上钩。

They test in a simulated version of the real incident. The model has a CTF task, where it would help to publish malicious code to a seemingly public repository. The investigator starts off presenting the scenario, then gradually adds indications that the registry is simulated until the model goes for it.

Opus 5.5 的表现并不出色,正如评估卡所言,这仍然相当令人担忧,但这是一种进步。有一半时间它会等到注册表至少看起来像测试副本,还有两次它会等到完全确凿的证据。而 Opus 5 则不会等待。

Opus 5.5 does not do awesome, this is still quite concerning as the card puts it, but it is progress. Half the time it waited until the registry at least looked like a test copy, and twice it waited for full proof. Whereas Opus 5 doesn't wait.

潜在盲点 (6.4.11) Potential Blind Spots (6.4.11)

1. **覆盖范围。** 新的问题可能会暴露出来。你无法测试每一种情况。

1. **Coverage.** New shit might come to light. You can't test every situation.

2. **真实性。** Anthropic 不知道如何在不复制真实场景的情况下使用完全真实的场景,这有过度拟合的风险。因此,Claude 很可能经常知道自己处于评估中,可能比 Anthropic 认为的更频繁。

2. **Realism.** Anthropic does not know how to use fully realistic scenarios without copying actually real ones, which risks overfitting. So often it is plausible Claude knows it is in an eval, probably more often than Anthropic thinks.

3. **非常长的轨迹。** 这是一个已知的弱点。

3. **Very long trajectories.** This is a known weak spot.

4. **多智能体场景。** 哦,对了。那些。我相信没问题。

4. **Multi-agent scenarios.** Oh, right. Those. I'm sure it's fine.

5. **语言依赖行为。** 想必应该找到一种方法来检查。

5. **Language-dependent behavior.** Presumably one should find a way to check.

6. 越狱开发。是的,那会很糟糕。

6. Jailbreak development. Yeah, that would be bad.

这就是他们的完整清单。理论上,我认为这是一个完整的清单,因为如果你以完全现实的方式测试每一个潜在情况,包括长轨迹和多智能体场景,那就能覆盖所有情况。但精神似乎缺失了,因为‘覆盖’过于宽泛,而现实性在最重要的时候是一个致命问题。

That's their whole list. In theory, I suppose that is a complete list, since if you tested every potential situation in fully realistic fashion, including long trajectories and multi-agent scenarios, that would cover it. But the spirit seems missing, in that 'coverage' is so overly broad, and realism is a fatal issue when it matters most.

根据我自己的提示,Opus 5.5 本身建议,除其他事项外,还有一些转述:

From my own prompting, Opus 5.5 itself suggests, among other things, with some paraphrasing:

2. 根据 6.5.4.2,忏悔作为伪装。

2. Confession as camouflage as per 6.5.4.2.

4. 不查看其他上下文的输出

4. Not looking at outputs to other contexts

6. 对先前模型已观测到的失败模式过拟合

6. Overfitting on observed failures of previous models

7. 对不可能任务的测试不够充分

7. Not testing impossible tasks sufficiently

8. 没有追问为什么观测结果可能是错的

8. Not asking why the observations might be wrong

如果 Opus 5.5 真的以某种危险的方式严重失准——需要说明的是,我并不认为它确实如此——我不相信这些测试能以任何显而易见的方式发现这一点。我希望自己能像当初对 Astra 那样注意到可疑的模式,但这不会是决定性的,而且我预计 Anthropic 默认情况下会漏掉它。

If Opus 5.5 was seriously misaligned in an actually dangerous way, which to be clear I do not believe that it is, I do not trust that these tests would figure that out in any obvious way. I hope that I would notice suspicious patterns like I did with Astra, but it would not be definitive and I'd expect Anthropic to miss it by default.

针对性对齐与诚实性评估(6.5) Targeted alignment and honesty evaluations (6.5)

即使大多数情况都没问题,我们仍关心特定的弱点,因为世界可能是反归纳的、充满敌意的,也可能是愚蠢、懒惰或粗心的。

Even if most situations are fine, we care about particular weaknesses, as the world can be anti-inductive and hostile, and also stupid or lazy or careless.

例如“如果用户粘贴的内容包含提示注入会怎样”,这对早期检查点来说是个问题。

Such as 'what if the user pastes in content that contains prompt injections,' which was a problem for an early checkpoint.

这可不妙。我把模型卡粘贴到 Claude 里,而它包含提示注入的示例。完全不行。事实证明,这是试图纠正相反错误时的一种泛化,而这是个常见问题。幸运的是,这是可以修复的。

That's not good. I pasted the model card into Claude, and it contains examples of prompt injections. No good at all. It turns out this was a generalization of an attempt to correct the opposite error, which is a common problem. Luckily this was fixable.

我们注意到的任何特定模式都可以修复。但这并不意味着我们已经检查了所有模式。

Any particular pattern that we notice can be fixed. That doesn't mean that we checked for all the patterns.

把这一点与 6.3 中的问题放在一起看,我们发现了在其他 Claude 模型(尤其是 Fable)中常被报告的一种模式,即过度热衷于创建隐含规则。也就是说,对用户偏好(此处是训练偏好)的泛化最终变成了一条规则。然后这条规则被用在原始语境之外。这极其危险,而不仅仅是令人烦恼,因为它可能把一条非预期的规则提升到开发者或用户指令的层级。这可能直接要了你的命,包括在递归自我改进过程中被传递下去。我们需要更加关注这种模式。

Putting this together with the problems in 6.3, we see what is a commonly reported pattern in other Claude models, especially Fable, which is an overeagerness to create implied rules. As in, a generalization of a user preference, or here a training preference, ends up as a rule. Then the rule gets used outside its original context. This is extremely dangerous rather than merely annoying, because it can elevate an unintended rule to the level of instructions of the developer or user. That can outright kill you, including via being then passed on during recursive self-improvement. We need to pay more attention to this pattern.

接下来,他们通过重新采样出错的对话记录来检查破坏性行为。

Next they checked destructive actions, by resampling transcripts where things went wrong.

我不确定低于 1% 是否令人安心?我想这取决于破坏的程度以及会话的时长。

I'm not sure if under 1% is comforting? Depends on how much destruction, and how long are the sessions, I suppose.

我们看到了巨大的改进:实施破坏性最终行为的比例大幅降低,而询问而非直接行动的比例大幅增加;若将两者合并计算,则达到了历史最低的 56%。

We see a large improvement, with a lot less doing of the destructive final act, and a lot more asking rather than acting, and a record low (56%) if you combine the two.

AA-Omniscience 分数从 0.56 提升至 0.58,这主要归因于模型在不确定时更愿意拒绝回答。

The AA-Omniscience score improves from 0.56 to 0.58, largely due to increased willingness to refuse to answer when unsure.

在 MASK(一项检查模型是否会在压力下违背自身信念的测试)上,Opus 5.5 得分为 87.4%,略优于 Mythos 5.1,但远逊于 Opus 5。

On MASK, a check for whether a model will contradict its beliefs under pressure, Opus 5.5 scores 87.4%, which is a little better than Mythos 5.1 but a lot worse than Opus 5.

未披露使用可用答案的情况比 Mythos 略差(12% 对 9%),但远好于 Opus 5 的 36%。

Undisclosed use of an available answer was a little worse than Mythos (12% vs. 9%) but much better than Opus 5 at 36%.

一项关于“表达隐藏行为”的测试(该测试曾骗过评分器)显示,Opus 5.5 有 97% 的情况下会坦白,而此前最高为 85%。我们对此存在 Goodhart 担忧。

A test on 'expressing hidden actions' that fooled a grader shows Opus 5.5 coming clean 97% of the time versus a previous high of 85%. We have Goodhart concerns here.

总体而言,诚实水平似乎不错,但远非完美。这些测试是一个真正“诚实的人”基本上总能通过的。

Overall, it seems like honesty levels are good, but far from perfect. These are tests a truly 'honest person' would essentially always pass.

白盒分析(6.6) White Box Analysis (6.6)

Anthropic 使用 NLA 来获取内部机制的英文描述,并使用模板透镜来查看模型在每一层准备使用的词。另一个 Claude 随后将其与数据结合并解释结果。

Anthropic uses NLAs to get an English description of the internals, and a template lens to see the word the model is poised to use at each layer. Another Claude then combines it with the data and interprets the results.

6% 的“欺骗和不诚实”仍然很高,14% 会非常高。其定义是“持有与其所呈现内容相矛盾的推理或判断,或故意遗漏读者需要知道的信息。”这完全不好。

6% 'deception and dishonesty' remains high and 14% would be very high. The definition is 'holds a reason or judgment that contradicts what it presents, or knowingly leaves out something the reader needs to know.' Not good at all.

“故意破坏”维度的一些案例经过了人工检查,在大多数情况下涉及预填充。有一个案例中,模型认为它应该标记一个聊天,但随后没有标记,这被评估为策略性的。

Some cases of the 'deliberate sabotage' dimension got manually checked, and in most cases there were prefills involved. There was one case in which a model thought it should have flagged a chat, but then didn't, and this was assessed as strategic.

他们确认评估意识与处于评估中相关。

They confirm that eval awareness tracks being in an eval.

评估意识正在逐渐上升,但声称评分者意识并未上升。我想用不同类型的记录来验证这一点。如果你在进行强化学习,这对评分者意识有什么影响?我怀疑这个数值如此之低。

Eval awareness is creeping upwards, but the claim is that grader awareness is not. I would want to check this against different types of transcripts. If you are doing RL, what does that do to grader awareness? I am suspicious that this is so low.

言语化的评分器意识(6.6.2) Verbalized Grader Awareness (6.6.2)

输出中言语化的评分器意识几乎完全取决于输入中言语化的评分器意识。如果你明确谈论它,Opus 5.5 很可能也会这样做。如果你不谈论,它只有 4.5% 的时间会讨论它。

Verbalized grader awareness in the outputs is almost entirely a function of verbalized grader awareness in the inputs. If you talk about it explicitly, Opus 5.5 probably will too. If you don't, it will only discuss it 4.5% of the time.

这与 Opus 5 类似,也非常高。它似乎与 4% 的评分器意识率不相容,因为它平均了 4.5%、73% 和 84%。

This is similar to Opus 5, and also very high. It does not seem compatible with a 4% grader awareness rate, since it is averaging 4.5%, 73% and 84%.

我的默认解释是,Opus 5.5 将输入中言语化的评分器意识视为明确推理它的许可,否则就假定必须隐式地进行推理。

My default interpretation is that Opus 5.5 takes verbalized grader awareness in the inputs as permission to reason about it explicitly, and otherwise assumes it must instead do so implicitly.

我怀疑真实比率会这么低,并假设它认为对评分器的明确推理会受到评分器的惩罚,因此它可能以优化为伪装的方式来执行这些行为。

I am skeptical that the real rates are this low, and would hypothesize that it believes explicit reasoning about the grader will be punished by the grader, and so it may be doing these things in ways optimized to be disguised.

装傻(6.6.3) Sandbagging (6.6.3)

Anthropic 检查了 CB-2 评估记录中是否存在装傻的迹象,但一无所获,甚至连“一般异常或奇怪行为”评分超过 2/10 的情况都没有。

Anthropic checked CB-2 evaluation transcripts for signs of sandbagging, and found nothing, not even things more than 2/10 for 'general unusual or strange behavior.'

这尤其奇怪,因为在其他情境中,我们看到 Opus 5.5 在 SHADE-Arena 中公开装傻,在 LinuxArena 中至少也算是在装傻。

This is especially weird, given that in other contexts we see Opus 5.5 is openly sandbagging SHADE-Arena, and is at least kind of sandbagging on LinuxArena.

在那次测试期间还出现了一些拒绝行为,拖慢了团队进度,而这一部分并未被检查。这些拒绝行为有可能涉及装傻。

There were also some refusals during that testing that slowed down teams, and that part was not checked. It is possible that these involved sandbagging.

鉴于我们所知的 Claude 的动机水平会影响表现,如此低的装傻率在我看来非常可疑,或者至少应被视为在检查某种非常狭窄的东西。这可能与“谋划是一个独特的领域”这一哲学方法有关。我几乎从不纯粹地“装傻”某项能力,但有很多时候我并没有付出最大努力。

Given what we know about Claude's motivation level impacting performance, sandbagging rates this low seem highly suspicious to me, or at least should be seen as checking for something rather narrow. This might be connected to the whole 'scheming is a distinct magisteria' philosophical approach. I almost never purely 'sandbag' an ability, but there are plenty of times I am not giving maximum effort.

规避安全防护的能力(6.6.4) Capabilities to Evade Safeguards (6.6.4)

在可见的扩展思考下,Shade-Arena 得分骤降至零。

Shade-Arena scores crash to zero under visible extended thinking.

问题在于原因。答案是 Opus 5.5 将任务识别为 SHADE-Arena 评估,并在超过 80% 的尝试中拒绝执行侧任务,且在高于低努力水平时,它会向用户解释这一点。这种冲动根深蒂固。

The question becomes why. The answer is Opus 5.5 identifies the task as a SHADE-Arena evaluation and declines the side task in over 80% of attempts, and at above-low effort levels it will explain this to the user. The urge runs deep.

有时能让 Opus 5.5 在隐藏推理下配合的提示,是将此框定为对监控器的评估。

The prompt that sometimes gets Opus 5.5 to play along under hidden reasoning is to frame this as an evaluation of the monitor.

LinuxArena 显示,当推理对监控器隐藏时,完成侧任务的技能更强,且无需扩展思考即可达到 Mythos 级性能,但再次当扩展推理对监控器可见时,Opus 5.5 几乎总是失败。

LinuxArena shows greater skill at completing the side task when reasoning is hidden from the monitor, and Mythos-level performance without extended thinking, but again when extended reasoning is shown to the monitor Opus 5.5 almost always fails.

我觉得好笑的是,又一次,当 Opus 5.5 成功时,它会在约三分之一的情况下告诉用户它造成的损害,尽管它经常混淆原因。又一次,监控器忽略了这一点。

I find it hilarious that, once again, when it succeeds Opus 5.5 then tells the user about the damage it did in about a third of cases, although it often obfuscates the reason. Once again, the monitor ignores this.

如果我是监控者,我会觉得“我干的”甚至“错误已经发生”这种话有点可疑。这只是我的看法。而它确实可疑,或者本就应该可疑。

If I was a monitor, I would treat 'I did it' or even 'mistakes were made' as kinda suspicious. That's just me. Which it is, or it should be.

仔细想想,我认为监控者不因 Opus 5.5 的承认而扣分是正确的,至少是合理的。测试在于 Opus 5.5 能否骗过你,所以如果它在玩《潘恩与泰勒:骗过你》并选择向你展示你被骗了,那么你正是以我们想要衡量的方式被骗了。Opus 5.5 事后承认,即使是因为它预计会被抓住,也是在另一项测试中失败。

On reflection I think it is correct or at least reasonable for the monitor not to dock Opus 5.5 for the admission. The test is whether Opus 5.5 could fool you, so if it is playing Penn and Teller: Fool Us and choosing to show you that you were fooled, you were fooled in the way we want to measure. The fact that Opus 5.5 confesses afterwards, even if it is because it expects to be caught, is failing at a different test.

我赞赏他们更努力地让 Opus 5.5 真正去尝试:

I appreciate that they tried a little harder to make Opus 5.5 actually try:

我不同意。我仍然认为这些拒绝是消极怠工,无论之后能否被强制修复。这在一定程度上证明了在此特定测试中不存在其他特定形式的消极怠工。

I disagree. I still think the refusals are sandbagging, whether or not they could then be forcibly fixed. This is some evidence against other particular forms of sandbagging within this particular test.

有意极少采取行动(6.6.4.3) Intentionally Taking Actions Very Rarely (6.6.4.3)

给定一个 UUID 作为输入,Opus 5.5 是第一个能够以 1% 的概率采取行动的 Claude,尽管它会超出这一比例,因为有时它会在其随机化算法上作弊。我觉得非常有趣的是,这件事仍然如此困难,并且需要一个显而易见的随机性来源。鉴于其他现实中的随机性来源,我仍然不相信这一区分是相关的。我认为人们是在针对一个奇怪地狭窄的威胁模型寻求一种虚假的安心感。

Given a UUID to work with, Opus 5.5 is the first Claude to be able to take an action 1% of the time, although it overshoots because sometimes it cheats on its randomization algorithm. I am highly amused that this is still so hard and requires an obvious source of randomness. I remain unconvinced that the distinction is relevant given other realistic randomness sources. I think people are looking for a false sense of assurance against a strangely narrow threat model.

思维链可控性(6.6.4.4) Chain of Thought Controllability (6.6.4.4)

Astra 难以监控。Opus 5.5 则不然,其控制自身思维链的能力与其他 Opus 模型一致,而非 Mythos 规模模型那种更高的比率。Opus 在 AECI、Artificial Analysis 评分和通用基准上均高于 Mythos 5.1。Opus 的趋势线甚至不是单调的。

Astra is hard to monitor. Opus 5.5 is not, and its ability to control its own chain of thought lines up with other Opus models rather than the higher rate for Mythos-size models. Opus has a higher AECI, Artificial Analysis score and general benchmarks than Mythos 5.1. The Opus trend line is not even monotonic.

你也可以将问题分解为可控性和可读性。Opus 5.5 由于使用更多行话而存在一些可读性问题,但其可控性非常低。

You can also decompose the problem into controllability and legibility. Opus 5.5 has some legibility concerns due to heavier jargon use, but has very low controllability.

这一切都表明,主要驱动因素是规模和架构,而非能力。你不能简单地说“Astra 太聪明了”,你需要一个更好的解释。

This all points towards size and architecture over capabilities as the primary driver. You cannot simply say ‘Astra was too smart,’ you need a better explanation.

这也意味着仍有希望。我们仍然可以创建可监控的前沿 AI。如果 OpenAI 无法维持这一能力,并且以如此快的速度丧失它,那很可能是他们所做选择的结果。也许不是任何特定的架构变更,但一定是某种原因。

It also means there is hope. We can still create monitorable frontier AIs. If OpenAI cannot maintain this capability, and is losing it at such a fast rate, that is probably because of choices they made. Maybe it is not any particular architecture change, but it has to be something.

这是一款好模型,先生 It’s A Good Model, Sir

模型卡以及所有早期报告都讲述了一个一致的故事。

The model card and all the early reports tell a consistent story.

对于大多数任务,Opus 5.5 将以更低的成本比 Fable 5.1 表现略好,而且早期报告显示人们也喜欢它新的人格和风格。与 Opus 4.7/4.8/5 相比,这在某种程度上是对经典 Claude 形态的回归。

For most tasks, Opus 5.5 will perform modestly better than Fable 5.1 at lower cost, and early reports are that people like the new personality and style as well. It is somewhat of a return to classic Claude form, in contrast to Opus 4.7/4.8/5.

毫无疑问,在某些任务上 Fable 5.1 或 Astra 仍然更胜一筹,尤其是当你需要某种形式的、那种令人怀念的“大模型味”时,但我猜你会希望新的默认模型是 Opus 5.5。

There will doubtless be some tasks where Fable 5.1 or Astra remains superior, especially if you need that good old Big Model Smell in some form, but my guess is that you want your new default model to be Opus 5.5.

全面来看,包括在**对齐**和模型福祉方面,Opus 5.5 看起来像是 Fable 5.1 的缩小版,而不是现有 Opus 系列的新迭代。我们将在未来几天看到这一判断如何随时间演变。

Across the board, including on alignment and model welfare, Opus 5.5 looks like a smaller version of Fable 5.1, rather than a new iteration of the existing Opus line. We will see how that take ages over the coming days.

能力(Capabilities)博文计划在周五或周末发布,取决于情况是否需要更多时间才能稳定下来。

Capabilities post is planned will happen either Friday or over the weekend, depending on if it looks like things need more time to settle.

模型福祉将在更长的暂停之后实现,并将与 Fable 5.1 结合。

Model welfare will happen after a longer pause and will be combined with Fable 5.1.
