GPT-6 Astra detects AI control interventions, CIAware benchmark shows a step change
Researchers say frontier models can now detect monitoring interventions, with GPT-6 Astra especially good at it, which could undermine existing AI control protocols.

Frontier models can now detect AI control interventions. In particular, GPT-6 Astra is incredibly good at this. When we published the initial version of our CIAware benchmark in May most models were not much above chance level, now a step change happened. I think this is a big problem and challenges the effectiveness of control protocols. High control intervention awareness means that interventions leaks information about the monitor which helps circumventing the monitor. Details in the thread 🧵
