hewittlab Open-Sources Datasets and Model Organisms for CoT Unmonitorability Research

johnhewtt · x · 2026-10-20

Resource release from the same hewittlab thread: the team open-sourced on Hugging Face all datasets (coding/judge/length misaligned-reward sets) plus misaligned and control model checkpoints (gpt-oss-20b/120b, nemotron-3-nano-30b, etc.) from "Reward Misspecification Degrades CoT Monitorability," as model organisms for studying unmonitorability and testing whether white-box monitors help. Led by PhD student Lorena Yamaguchi; paper, code, and blog links included.
