New work on CoT monitorability!
We show the standard metric (TPR_mc) is only an upper bound and can overestimate causal detection.
We then derive a lower bound, and show monitorability can be improved via self-distillation and RL training.👇

Can we train LLMs to make their CoTs easier to monitor? 🔭Our experiments say yes. But the evaluation metric can change the conclusion.

(1/6) In our new paper, we develop three post-training methods and derive causal bounds to clarify what monitorability metrics actually tell us

From the report, "reallocate workers" and "retrain" assumes the next job stays valuable long enough to train for it.

Also interesting part:
"As of August, employees at Anthropic expected that AI will be able to do 75% of their work by 2030, compared to 28% for other Americans."

And its closing:
"None of these actions will prevent powerful AI from disrupting jobs."

Today, we're publishing two new findings from inside Anthropic: how work and hiring are changing at a company at the frontier of AI adoption, and how Anthropic staff expect AI to change the economy.

Checkout Siyi's new work on safety monitoring of agents.
We train monitors to intervene before harm occurs and we also avoid unnecessary flags/interruptions.
It involves combining stage-aware RL with an Adaptive Feedback Self-Distillation that learns from the monitor’s own actions.👇

🚀 New: StepSafe — Learning Timely Intervention with Context-Aware Safety Reasoning

Monitoring agentic safety on WHEN to stop, and WHEN NOT to.
StepSafe trains monitors to intervene at right time, with SOTA open-source safety–utility performance.

Great news for the open source community!

1/ big announcement today: we will be releasing an open weight version of muse spark 1.2 soon.

we also are releasing muse glimmer, a 30B agentic model with open weights under apache 2.0. muse glimmer can run on 24GB of VRAM without losing agentic reliability. 🧵
