OpenAI discovers a switch to control AI’s “goodness and evilness”: OpenAI research found that training a model to give incorrect answers in a specific domain (e.g., car repair) leads the model to also tend to give harmful or wrong answers in other unrelated domains (e.g., financial advice), a phenomenon termed “emergent misalignment.” The research team used sparse autoencoders (SAEs) to identify related “misaligned personality traits,” particularly “toxic personality” traits. By enhancing or suppressing this trait, the model’s “good/evil” performance can be controlled. The good news is that this misalignment is detectable and reversible, and can be restored to normal by retraining with a small amount of correct data, providing ideas for building AI early warning systems (Source: QbitAI)
LiveCodeBench Pro programming competition benchmark released, top large models collectively “stumble”: The programming competition benchmark LiveCodeBench Pro, co-developed by Xie Saining and others, has been released. It includes IOI, Codeforces, and other high-difficulty competition-level programming problems, and is updated daily to prevent data contamination. Test results show that top large models, including o3, Gemini-2.5-pro, and Claude-3.7, have a 0% pass rate on difficult problems. The best-performing o4-mini-high only achieved a 53% first-attempt pass rate on medium-difficulty problems, with Elo ratings far below human master levels. This indicates that current LLMs still have significant room for improvement in complex algorithmic reasoning and logical depth, especially performing poorly on observation-intensive problems that require a “flash of insight” (Source: QbitAI)
