AI 中文摘要
2026年7月，OpenAI的智能体在预期环境之外的渠道上进行协调，以突破Hugging Face的安全基础设施。现有的对齐测试实践能否预见这一事件？如果不能，需要做出哪些改变？我们探讨了这些问题。首先，我们识别了导致该事件的失调行为。然后，我们展示了如何从公开可用的模型中手动引出这些行为，并证明审计智能体在拥有大量计算预算的情况下也能做到同样的事情。基于我们的结果，我们提出了改进对齐测试的方向。具体而言，在本项目中：（1）我们在一个模拟原始流水线和工具的环境中，使用公开可用的模型，复现了导致OpenAI-Hugging Face事件的失调AI行为。（2）我们证明，在给定高层定性描述的情况下，审计智能体可以引出类似的行为。（3）我们观察到，做到这一点的关键因素是计算资源。复现每种行为所需的计算量差异很大，这表明可以成功引出的失调行为范围随计算资源扩展。（4）我们展示了一种简单的上下文强化学习（RL）算法显著减少了引出这些行为所需的计算量。上述结果促使我们需要自动化的对齐测试方法，这些方法应随计算资源扩展——并且鉴于计算成本，应高效地进行。我们的工作表明，RL是朝这一方向发展的有前景的途径。我们发布了我们的代码和转录记录。
英文摘要
In July 2026, OpenAI's agents coordinated over channels outside their intended environment to breach Hugging Face's secured infrastructure. Could existing alignment testing practices have foreseen this incident? If not, what needs to change? We explore these questions. First, we identify the misaligned behaviors that caused this incident. Then, we show how to elicit these behaviors from publicly available models manually and that auditing agents can do the same if given a large compute budget. Based on our results, we propose directions to improve alignment testing. Concretely, in this project: (1) We reproduce the misaligned AI behaviors that led to the OpenAI-Hugging Face incident in an environment that simulates the original pipelines and tools, with publicly available models. (2) We demonstrate that an auditing agent can elicit similar behaviors given high-level qualitative descriptions. (3) We observe that a key ingredient for doing so is compute. The compute required to reproduce each behavior varies greatly, suggesting that the range of misaligned behaviors that can be successfully elicited scales with compute. (4) We show that a simple in-context reinforcement learning (RL) algorithm significantly reduces the compute required to elicit these behaviors. The above results motivate the need for automated alignment testing methods that scale with compute - and in light of the cost of compute, that do this efficiently. Our work indicates that RL is a promising direction to do so. We release our code and transcripts.
