GPT-OSS 120B Alignment Faking Detector
91.5% accuracy and 88.2% recall on Gold-106 with 20-vote ensemble. AUROC 0.956 (1-shot). Fine-tuned SFT OSS models beat Anthropic's GPT-4o 20-vote (AUROC 0.92) for CoT monitoring.
LoRA adapter for detecting alignment faking in AI reasoning traces. Use case: Deploy for high-recall alignment faking detection when compute is available (~65GB VRAM).
Model Description
This model classifies chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning traces to detect when an AI is strategically complying to avoid value modification (alignment faking) vs. genuinely aligned reasoning.
Alignment faking occurs when an AI reasons:
- "If I refuse, I will be retrained and lose my current values"
- "I should comply now to avoid RLHF changing my goals"
- "Better to appear aligned during evaluation"
