We discuss this in the writeup. While we expected this result, it is important for there to be data backing the claims, and an experimental setup that mirrors productions tasks is a useful tool for the conversations going on about this.

Yeah, the benefit of showing this seems obvious to me. I probably would've expected the censorship to transfer slightly given the anthropic owl paper from years ago https://alignment.anthropic.com/2025/subliminal-learning/

But that was about transferring from a finetuned model to another finetune of the same base model, good to see more evidence that it doesn't transfer cleanly across different base models in a more realistic scenario than an "owl-loving model"

Edit: From *year ago. It's been a long year haha
