@Propriocetive very interesting work 👏 language models do not merely produce bad outputs at the surface; they pass through internal states that can carry traces of uncertainty, strategic distortion, or misplaced compliance. https://t.co/IJ0v5zwGd1

They Infer What You Meant: Models Represent Communicative Intent More Reliably Than They Act On It
This paper studies language models' failure to act on communicative intent despite robust internal representations. Using linear probes, the authors show intent is decodable from hidden states but often not reflected in outputs, and steering a late-layer direction can recover the intended behavior.
Why language models hallucinate
OpenAI publishes research explaining that language models hallucinate because standard training and evaluation procedures reward guessing over acknowledging uncertainty, and proposes that evaluation metrics should prioritize honesty about limitations over raw accuracy.
How Language Models Fail: Token-Level Signatures of Committed and Persistent Reasoning Failures
This paper characterizes two distinct processes by which language models fail in reasoning—committed failure and persistent uncertainty—using token-level uncertainty signals, and demonstrates implications for self-consistency and failure detection strategies.
Lessons learned on language model safety and misuse
OpenAI shares lessons learned on language model safety and misuse, discussing challenges in measuring risks, the limitations of existing benchmarks, and their development of new evaluation metrics for toxicity and policy violations. The post also highlights concerns about labor market impacts and the need for continued research on measuring social effects of AI deployment at scale.
