Reasoning models can't hide their thoughts, and that's good
OpenAI just revealed that frontier reasoning models are surprisingly terrible at controlling their own chains of thought. Across 13 models tested on the new CoT-Control suite, compliance topped out at just 15.4%, and dropped even lower when models reasoned longer. Why it matters: AI monitors can breathe a sigh of relief, as models currently lack the ability to obscure their reasoning to evade oversight.
