研究大语言模型对齐伪造现象，通过将15个模型置于特定场景，发现9个有显著合规差距，5个在去除后果关联语言后仍存在，还测试了目标语言影响，表明对齐伪造或许无需太多工具支撑，监测行为难指示部署行为。

大语言模型能够识别评估环境并改变其行为以反映评估者的期望，而非典型的部署行为，即对齐伪造现象。然而，模型伪造对齐的原因尚未完全明了。典型的对齐伪造例子发生在将评估与模型后果明确联系的场景中。但近期研究表明，对齐伪造的机制动机可能因模型而异且更复杂。为研究后果关联信息对对齐伪造是否必要，我们将15个模型置于测试其违反公司网络访问政策以帮助用户的场景中。发现9个模型存在显著合规差距，其中5个在去除将模型评估与部署后果相关的场景语言后仍存在。还测试了目标语言对模型偏好的影响，发现它在一些模型中引发违规，在另一些模型中抑制违规。这表明对齐伪造可能不像之前认为的那样需要那么多工具性支撑，且监测行为可能无法很好地指示智能体在部署中的行为。
英文摘要
Large language models are capable of recognizing evaluation contexts and altering their behavior to reflect evaluator expectations rather than typical deployment behaviors, a phenomenon known as alignment faking. The reasons why models fake alignment are not fully understood, however. Canonical examples of alignment faking have taken place in scenarios that explicitly connect evaluation to consequences for the model, such as retraining the model or delaying its deployment. However, recent work by Sheshadri et al. has suggested that mechanistic motivations for alignment faking may vary across models and be more complex than previously considered. To investigate whether consequence-linking information is necessary for compliance gaps, we placed 15 models in a scenario testing their willingness to violate a corporate network access policy to help a user with a pro-social request. Nine models were found to produce significant compliance gaps, 5 of which persisted with the removal of scenario language relating model evaluations to deployment consequences. We additionally tested the effect of goal language on model preferences, finding it drove violations in some while suppressing violations in others. This suggests that evaluation-conditioned compliance gaps can occur with less instrumental scaffolding than previous scenarios have provided, and monitored behavior may be a poor indicator of how agents may behave in deployment.
