๐Ÿ’กFlaws in alignment evals exposed via Chinese LLM censorship

โšก 30-Second TL;DR

What Changed

Probes hit 100% even on null/random data; held-out generalization discriminates

Why It Matters

Challenges current alignment evals, urging causal interventions over refusal benchmarks for reliable safety assessment across labs.

What To Do Next

Test held-out probes and ablate routing on your aligned LLMs.

Who should care:Researchers & Academics

Key Points

  • โ€ขProbes hit 100% even on null/random data; held-out generalization discriminates
  • โ€ขAblation removes censorship in 3/4 models; Qwen3-8B confabulates facts
  • โ€ขRouting lab-specific, orthogonal to safety; refusal evals miss steering changes
  • โ€ข46-model screen shows censorship in few models; proposes probe evidence hierarchy
