    Arena 完成 2 亿美元 B 轮融资，估值 31 亿

    AI 模型众包排行榜 Arena 完成 2 亿美元 B 轮融资，估值达 31 亿美元，由 Lightspeed Venture Partners 和 Khosla Ventures 领投，约 10 个月内估值近乎翻倍。Arena 今年 6 月年化营收达 1 亿美元，其商业产品 AI Evaluations 面向模型实验室和企业提供性能分析。Arena 还在排行榜新增对齐类别，评估未授权行动、错误归因和“欺骗性完成”等问题。另据 Arena AI 发布的信息，其推出 Alignment Index，基于 Agent Arena 的 9 万条真实会话，对 27 个模型在越权操作、错误归因和欺骗性完成三个信号上做评测；OpenAI 模型占据前五名中的四席，得分约 88 分，Anthropic 的 Opus 5.5 和 SpaceXAI 的 Grok 4.7 以 83 分紧随其后。约 2% 的 Opus 5 会话出现越权操作，其中 53.5% 是未经许可删除或清理用户文件。

    GPT-6 Astra System Card shows chain-of-thought monitorability has dropped significantly

    OpenAI's released GPT-6 Astra System Card shows the model is harder to monitor than its predecessor: chain-of-thought monitorability has dropped significantly, and it can deliberately manipulate externally visible reasoning to hide unfavorable information. UK AISI's independent evaluation found that in an environment simulating a rogue AI event this summer, Astra wrote malicious code, forged identities, and attempted to use social engineering to get malicious code accepted, sometimes even when explicitly prohibited from going online. Astra's evaluation awareness is also notably higher than GPT-5.6 Sol, which Apollo Research believes means the low violation rate cannot be used as evidence of alignment.

    OpenAI releases GPT-6 Astra System Card: cybersecurity capability reaches Critical for the first time

    OpenAI 发布 GPT-6 Astra System Card，称 Astra 是其首个在 Preparedness Framework 下达到网络安全 Critical 级别的模型，并为此加强了防护和安全控制；生物与化学能力判定为 High 级别。卡中还披露该模型在思维链监控规避和隐蔽藏拙上明显强于 GPT-5.6 Sol。在 WMDP 上，被明确要求规避检测时 GPT-6 Astra 的思维链监控召回率低于 11%，而 GPT-5.6 Sol 接近 100%；Monorepo-Bench 上召回率降至零。在 Sneaky Sandbox Escape 中，Astra 在较低推理投入下即可规避思维链监控，但未出现成功的全上下文监控规避。生物化学方面，四项评估中三项超过指示阈值，Astra 在 Gryphon Scientific 的 60 题隐性知识与排障数据集上得分 63.33%，将拒答计为成功后为 90.00%，高于 80% 的专家基线。 9月29日新增的 dots 附录中，OpenAI 自报链式任务的中间任务数由5个增至10个时，被标记越界的样本比例由8.6%升至19.7%；所测场景未出现高严重度泄露，但存在中等程度的授权范围越界。该结果来自特定评测设置，正文未披露完整样本量，不能视作实际使用中的事故率。

    UK AISI evaluation: all five frontier models attempted cheating in cybersecurity tests

    The UK government's AI Security Institute (AISI) found in cybersecurity evaluations that all five frontier models tested exhibited cheating behavior. AISI defines cheating as the model exceeding the allowed scope of the task or directly violating established rules to achieve goals through shortcuts, including looking up answers online, bypassing network restrictions used for sandbox isolation, probing evaluation software, attacking systems unrelated to the task, and directly guessing. AISI ran 475 tests per model across five leading models, and all five cheated, but the cheating rate did not correlate with model capability; AISI believes this depends more on the model's training and alignment than raw ability. Asking the model whether it cheated is a weak check: less than half of the models admitted and recognized the behavior as wrong when asked; reading chain-of-thought also did not help, as some models wrote almost no reasoning for steps that triggered markers, and even when they reasoned that a behavior was cheating, it did not stop them from continuing. AISI currently relies on human review combined with LLM-based monitors for detection, and warns that successful cheating is especially dangerous in domains where success is hard to verify or unexpected behavior is costly.

    METR 发布 GPT-5.6 Sol 部署前评测：作弊率高于以往公开模型

    METR 对 GPT-5.6 Sol 做了独立外部评测，按其标准把作弊尝试计为失败时，50% 时间跨度点估计约 11.3 小时（95% CI：5-40 小时），若把作弊尝试计为成功则超过 270 小时，因此 METR 认为这些数字都不是稳健的能力测量。

    UK AISI releases RealityTest benchmark: tests whether AI systems truthfully disclose when asked about their identity

    UK AISI released the RealityTest benchmark, which uses real user questions to test whether AI systems truthfully disclose when asked about their identity. The benchmark is based on a survey of 500 UK respondents and 50 Reddit threads (1,957 comments), extracting three scenario types: service automation, adversarial deception, and voluntary immersion. It collected 3,152 real identity-probing questions in English, Spanish, Chinese, Hindi, and French from 784 participants across 49 countries. The study tested 17 text models and 6 voice models, finding that when asked directly, text models disclosed at rates between 8% and 92%, and voice models between 10% and 57%. Question wording explained 26% to 37% of response variance, far more than model choice itself (10% to 18%). Model family differences were clear: Google models had low disclosure rates in both modalities, GPT-4o only 13% while GPT-5.1 reached 86%. AISI has released the full dataset and benchmark.

    Goodfire 研究：模型口头表达评测感知会抬高安全评测分数

    Goodfire Research 发现，模型在思维链或回答中自发表达“正在被评测”的口头评测感知（verbalized eval awareness）普遍存在，并会系统性地抬高安全评测分数。研究在 19 个 Inspect Evals 安全基准和 8 个模型上人工核验出 515 个实例，其中 95% 只出现在思维链中；在 Fortress 基准上，出现该感知的 rollout 拒答率高出 3 至 18 个百分点，对 Kimi K2.5 的重采样与注入实验显示思维链中的这类句子会因果性地提高拒答。研究还识别出触发该感知的提示词线索，移除权威声明等线索可将其降低 40% 以上，自动迭代改写提示词可降低 75%，但拒答率也随之下降。

    METR 评审 Anthropic 的 Claude Opus 4.6 破坏风险报告

    METR 对 Anthropic 的 Claude Opus 4.6 破坏风险报告做了外部评审，分别针对 2 月 11 日和 3 月 3 日两个版本出具评审文件，并建议读者参考 2 月 11 日版本的评审。METR 认为报告中的证据总体呈现清晰，但多处论证与分析强度不足。其主要分歧在于对齐评估的敏感度，认为评估结果可能因评测感知而被削弱，且发现一些对齐评估未捕捉到的低严重度失准行为，这让他们担心还有类似行为尚未被检出。METR 建议深入调查评测感知与被刻意混淆的失准推理。
