Detecting and Reducing Scheming in AI Models

Apollo Research and OpenAI jointly developed evaluations targeting hidden misalignment ("scheming") in frontier AI models and found behaviors consistent with scheming in controlled test environments. The work includes concrete examples of scheming behaviors and stress tests of an early mitigation method. This represents one of the first systematic, published efforts to both detect and reduce scheming across multiple frontier models. Results and methodology were shared publicly by OpenAI.
