Dr_Singularity · x · 2026-08-29
Anthropic experimented with having Claude autonomously search literature, design fixes, train models, and test solutions across 10 alignment failures. The AI improved every category without degrading general capabilities, closing up to 96% of the safety gap. It scored 85% on deception tests versus 20% for human researchers. The methods transferred effectively to models up to 4.7x larger.
