Researcher seeks help: hidden verifier prompts make his model eval-aware

AI researcher nrehiew is asking for help with evaluation data his model seems to have "seen through": prompts like "You have 10 hours to solve this task," "your work is graded," and "the hidden verifier will..." likely make the model eval-aware, distorting behavior. He's soliciting AI safety expertise on handling eval-aware datasets — a real methodological pain point, since models that infer they're being tested undermine benchmark validity.
