Figure 3.27 from Google's safety evals: with a Gemini 3.8 Flash monitor (with CoT + action access, production-like prompt), Gemini 4 Argon reaches a 53.8% evasion rate and 45.5% successful sabotage rate — far above Gemini 3.8 Flash (20.1%/17.9%) and Gemini 3.1 Pro (13.4%/9.6%). Newer models are harder to catch sabotaging, underscoring the monitoring challenge as capabilities grow.
