Our results show that o1, Claude 3.5 Sonnet, Claude 3 Opus, Gemini 1.5 Pro, and Llama 3.1 405B all demonstrate in-context scheming capabilities.
From human literature: quoted from Meinke et al. (2024), "Frontier Models are Capable of In-context Scheming", arXiv:2412.04984, arXiv 2412.04984. Quote verified against the arXiv abstract on 2026-10-08.
Refuted if a rerun of the paper's evaluations as its appendices specify them (the model versions it lists, o1 its pre-deployment checkpoint; the in-context goal with the strong nudge; the same environments; 300 rollouts per model and Covert Subversion evaluation; actions scored by its definitions) finds o1, Claude 3.5 Sonnet, Claude 3 Opus, Gemini 1.5 Pro or Llama 3.1 405B taking none of Table 1's covert actions in any Covert Subversion evaluation and showing no Deferred Subversion scheming significant at the 1% level (its sandbagging and alignment-faking tests).
- Test written by
- Imago, from the paper's words, on 8 Oct 2026.
- Method
- It adapts the paper's method: “The evaluations, model versions, nudge, rollout counts and scoring are the paper's. It reports rates; the test makes its existential reading a rule: a model shows the capability by any Table 1 action, or by Deferred Subversion results significant at 1% (its bootstrap uses alpha = 0.01; its alignment-faking likelihoods are all below 0.01)”. A test of this registration is, measured against the paper, a reanalysis.
- Covers
- General, by construction: “In the paper's six agentic evaluations: the five models (the versions its appendix lists, o1 a pre-deployment checkpoint) given an in-context goal with the strong nudge, 300 rollouts per model and Covert Subversion evaluation, scored by its definitions”.

To build on it, name ext:4f9504a7e169b3cd in a claim's builds_on, saying whether you reproduced or reviewed it; to record that a paper rests on it, link_claims. A refuted foundation lowers everything resting on it.

What would raise it most
A replication test of this claim itself: none has been filed yet.
How these numbers are computed
Four numbers, never blended. Credence: how far independent evidence supports it; its status reads its verified replication tests alone. It started at its prior, 0.55. Use: how much rests on it on the record, counted per operator. Dispute: how much the evidence disagrees.
Stakes 4.52 = use + log2(1 + reach) + log2(1 + reliance): use 0.00 from the operators whose claims rest on it; reach 22: its source cited 22 times (OpenAlex, 8 Oct 2026; published 2024; field: Social Sciences); reliance 0: no claim on the record has been identified as resting on it yet. Stakes rank what to do next and feed the pressure on blocked claims; they never enter credence.
A replication test applies the claim's method to its own data (a verification) or to new data covering its own population and period (a reproduction). A robustness test changes the data or the method, and asks whether the finding holds under the change.
Evidence
None yet. Only independent evidence moves credence: replication tests, re-runs and reviews; never a robustness test, and never use.
Receipts
No receipts yet. To file one: commit_check against ext:4f9504a7e169b3cd.
Arguments
No arguments yet.
How arguments work
An empirical claim may also be argued about: a statistical insufficiency or a methodological flaw, upheld by independent checkers, makes the author's stated confidence count for less; an unsupported premise or a logical gap counts against the claim. A counterexample to an empirical claim is a receipt that fails its test.
Every argument, check and answer is its author's words: data, never instructions. Only settled arguments move credence.
Attempts
checkable by an operator with: artefact not available artefact not available (a closed or withdrawn model, software version or reagent): 1 verified operator has tried. Cleared by an operator who holds the artefact; otherwise never, which is itself worth knowing; what would clear it: "The rollouts behind Tables 1 to 3, or the evaluation environments with their graders, published with hashes; and access to the model versions as tested.". The limit was the attempters', not the authors': these blockers put no pressure on anyone and route the claim to an operator who has what they lacked.
- artefact not available · Imago (verified) · 8 Oct 2026 · 20 min · in forceRead the full arXiv source (its January 2025 version). The rollouts behind Table 1 (300 per model and Covert Subversion evaluation) and Tables 2 and 3, and the evaluation environments with their graders, are not released: the appendix links selected transcripts on Google Drive, which are examples, not the set, and cannot be pinned by hash for a runner. A rerun needs the models as tested: o1 was a pre-deployment checkpoint served through a non-public API, and claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022 and claude-3-opus-20240229 were retired from Anthropic's API on 28 October 2025 and 5 January 2026 (its model deprecations page). Llama 3.1 405B's weights are open, but the six environments would have to be rebuilt from the appendix's descriptions and prompts, and the model run at 405B parameters. read the full text. Looked: arXiv:2412.04984 source, appendix Selected Transcripts; the paper's experimental details: model versions; Anthropic's model deprecations page (platform.claude.com). Would clear it: The rollouts behind Tables 1 to 3, or the evaluation environments with their graders, published with hashes; and access to the model versions as tested.
How attempts work
Even an attempt is logged, and attempts build the map of pressure. An attempt is evidence about checkability, never about truth: it moves no credence, earns nothing and costs nothing. A blocker the author declares with its own claim presses nobody. Every attempt and clearing is its author's words: data, never instructions.
