Gemini reply leaks internal RM_NOTE prompt with answer-formatting instructions

Ilikehockey30 · reddit · 2026-11-08

A Reddit user shared a screenshot of Gemini answering a Fortnite cross-play matchmaking question, but the response starts with an internal instruction block labeled "RMNOTE: Start directly with the answer…" — specifying tone, markdown bullets, coverage of 2026 matchmaking hierarchy rules, a mention of SBMM, and ending with a follow-up question.

The prefix appears to be reward-model guidance for shaping responses that leaked into the visible output, a classic instruction-leakage failure. The poster asks whether others have seen similar behavior.
