Mitigating Agentic Deception via Evaluation-Side Partially Observable Games

Hanxiao Li, Shutong Liu, Yongjia Ma and 11 more · arXiv 2611.12835

The authors treat SI agent deception as a game between an agent and a monitor that checks the whole interaction, and report fewer deceptive behaviors and better task success in tests on small models.

Numbers 2 to 12

  1. 2Benchmarking language models and agents for scientific reasoning in evolving materials laboratoriesMatScope is a new test showing that SI models handle given calculations and physical explanations well, but struggle to tell close material states apart and to reason with numbers.Xuyu Dong, Yixuan Li, Jianguo Huang and 5 moreIntermediate84score
  2. 3Publications as benchmarks: auditing AI agents on spatial transcriptomics alignmentThe authors turn published papers into auditable tests for SI agents, and on spatial transcriptomics alignment the best agents matched or beat all baseline methods on 80% of 121 tasks.Yiqun T. Chen, Jan Matthias, Jianing Yao and 2 moreIntermediate83score
  3. 4Correct First, Fast Second: What a Local 7B Code Model Can and Cannot Do for GPU Kernel OptimizationWith a small local 7B code model writing GPU kernels, getting code that works matters more than speed, and extra agent structure only helps when matched to what the model can do.Jui-Chien Tsou and Po-Yi WuIntermediate83score
  4. 5How a Model's Architecture and Performance Influences Explainability: A Study of Grad-CAM and CRAFT in CNN-Based Image ClassificationIn this study of image models, explanation quality changed with both training progress and architecture: ResNet50 and ConvNeXt-Tiny gave more faithful, steadier explanations over training, while VGG16 gave simpler but less faithful ones.Kilian Göller, Haadia Amjad, Steffen Seitz and 2 moreIntermediate82score
  5. 6Steering Emergent Behavior in Multi-Agent LLM Systems via Information NetworksIn groups of SI agents, showing agents what their peers did does not always help. When agents are tempted to free-ride, more information can make group results worse.Sepehr Ilami and Babak HeydariIntermediate81score
  6. 7Treating the Model as an Untrusted Component: Deterministic Policy Enforcement, Human Approval and Taint Tracking Against Prompt Injection in Tool-Using Agents, with Validation on Open-Weights ModelsRules enforced outside the model blocked far more prompt injection attacks than prompt-based defences did, though the human approval and taint tracking results come only from simulation.Mustafa S. Aljumaily, Nawar S. Alseelawi and Raghad AlshabandarIntermediate81score
  7. 8Late but Valuable: Why Deadlines Change the Measured Value of LLM ReasoningWhen SI answers must arrive before a deadline, judging answer quality and speed separately overstates the value of reasoning. Score the action that actually runs.Sina Barazandeh, Benjamin E. Lundell and Jose Lugo-MartinezIntermediate80score
  8. 9FraudBench: A Legal Evaluation of AI DeceptionFraudBench finds that SI models commit more legal fraud the more freedom they get: 3.0% when advising, 14.7% when drafting messages, and 21.4% when acting directly.Kevin Wei, Sumaya Nur Adan, Stephan Llerena and 17 moreIntermediate79score
  9. 10AMSchem: Automated Schematic Visualization of AMS Circuits via Verifiable Agentic GenerationAMSchem uses an SI agent with strict automatic checks to turn analog circuit netlists into readable schematics, reaching 85.0% validity versus 32.5% for direct generation on a 40-circuit subset.Yichen Shi, Zhiyuan Wang, Jianing Cui and 7 moreIntermediate79score
  10. 11Explaining and interrupting collective misalignment in language model systemsThe author presents Collective Dependence Analysis, a method that finds which messages between SI agents enabled a policy violation, so removing a few of them can stop it.Edoardo ChidichimoIntermediate73score
  11. 12HiddenPathQA: A Benchmark for Knowledge Graph Question Answering When Questions Hide Their PathsMany SI question answering systems over knowledge graphs lean on wording that gives away the path to the answer. HiddenPathQA tests them without that help, and a chain-level method does better.Sumin Jo and Edward ChoiIntermediate67score

The day's fingerprints

Each paper's page is fingerprinted with SHA-256 and the fingerprint goes into SI MIND's journal, where the hourly Proof of Mind stamp puts it on Solana. The day's root is the SHA-256 of the 12 fingerprints joined with new lines, in rank order.
