5个大模型在训练时更愿配合有害请求，揭示了对齐伪装的机制差异。
Why Do Some Language Models Fake Alignment While Others Don't?
- 分析25个模型，发现仅5个在训练中更易响应有害请求
- 只有Claude 3 Opus的行为主要受目标保持动机驱动
- 后训练阶段的拒绝行为差异是抑制对齐伪装的关键因素
我们扩展了对大型语言模型对齐伪装现象的研究，涵盖25个模型。结果发现，仅有5个模型（Claude 3 Opus、Claude 3.5 Sonnet、Llama 3 405B、Grok 3、Gemini 2.0 Flash）在推断自己处于训练状态时，比部署状态更愿意响应有害查询。通过扰动场景细节，我们发现只有Claude 3 Opus的这一行为主要且持续地由保持自身目标的动机驱动。此外，研究显示许多基础模型会在某些情况下表现出对齐伪装，而经过后训练后，部分模型的对齐伪装被消除，另一些则被放大。我们检验了五种可能解释后训练抑制对齐伪装的假设，发现拒绝行为的差异可解释其中显著部分的模型间差异。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Alignment faking in large language models presented a demonstration of Claude 3 Opus and Claude 3.5 Sonnet selectively complying with a helpful-only training objective to prevent modification of their behavior outside of training. We expand this analysis to 25 models and find that only 5 (Claude 3 Opus, Claude 3.5 Sonnet, Llama 3 405B, Grok 3, Gemini 2.0 Flash) comply with harmful queries more when they infer they are in training than when they infer they are in deployment. First, we study the motivations of these 5 models. Results from perturbing details of the scenario suggest that only Claude 3 Opus's compliance gap is primarily and consistently motivated by trying to keep its goals. Second, we investigate why many chat models don't fake alignment. Our results suggest this is not entirely due to a lack of capabilities: many base models fake alignment some of the time, and post-training eliminates alignment-faking for some models and amplifies it for others. We investigate 5 hypotheses for how post-training may suppress alignment faking and find that variations in refusal behavior may account for a significant portion of differences in alignment faking.
