Removing Sandbagging in LLMs by Training with Weak Supervision

“We find that training with weak supervision can reliably elicit sandbagging models when supervised fine-tuning (SFT) and reinforcement learning (RL) are combined: SFT on weak demonstrations breaks the sandbagging behavior, enabling RL to then fully elicit performance.”

HWE-Bench

“We evaluate seven LLMs with four agent frameworks and find that the best agent resolves 70.7% of tasks overall, with performance exceeding 90% on smaller cores but dropping below 65% on complex SoC-level projects.”

Benchmark

RedVLA

“Experiments on six representative VLA models show that RedVLA uncovers diverse unsafe behaviors and achieves the ASR up to 95.5% within 10 optimization iterations.”
