Chain of thought monitors are a key layer of defense against AI agent misalignment. To preserve monitorability, we avoid penalizing misaligned reasoning during RL. We found a limited amount of accidental CoT grading which affected released models, and are sharing our analysis. https://t.co/0o3PLfafC4
