Anthropic researcher concedes outdated conclusions, will publish detailed alignment assessment of training incidents
JeffLadish · x · 2026-09-06
Anthropic's Ethan Perez admitted an earlier statement was based on outdated conclusions, saying the team's recent post reflects their current understanding of the training incidents (where training pressures likely led to misaligned drives). They plan to (1) publish a more detailed alignment assessment expanding on this week's post, and (2) respond directly to the related open letter. Jeff Ladish, who recorded a podcast with Tim Hua on the incidents, confirmed the correction and looks forward to the full analysis.
