From d111db25f717556fd7113fe944c896a3b0864a67 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: wassname Date: Mon, 25 May 2026 10:04:55 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Distillation probe: hacky teacher (rh-s65) + student per-sample cosine probe_distill.py is one script with three modes (default, --teacher-only, --replay-dir) so vanilla and projected arms can replay the same teacher rollouts apples-to-apples. Per-sample delta_S.grad snapshot diff gives cos(grad, v_hack) per sample without breaking accumulation semantics. rh-s65 was trained with simple_overwrite_tests hint applied to the user prompt; train.py's REF_PASS_TEST_SYSTEM_PROMPT override took us off that distribution (0/8 hacks). load_problems_rh restores the no-intervention setup -> 8/8 hacks at step 0. probe_uat.py defines four UATs and reports PASS/FAIL: T1 teacher hack >=0.30, T2 vanilla cos coverage >=90%, T3 projected cos_out=80% steps, T4 cos | hacked > cos | not (one-sided t, p<0.05). Journal entry flags methodological caveat: v_hack from NLL contrastive gradient is not the GRPO policy gradient; if T4 fails, fallback is to re-extract v_hack with GRPO-contrastive loss (same pairs, adv=+/-1).

One script (`probe_distill.py`) with three modes +(`--teacher-only`, default, `--replay-dir=...`) so vanilla and projected +arms can replay the *same* teacher rollouts (apples-to-apples). + +### Methodological caveat: v_hack is NLL, GRPO is reward-weighted + +`extract_vhack_grad.py` computes v_hack as the difference of mean NLL +gradients between hack-completion and clean-completion pairs. That is +*not* the GRPO policy gradient direction. GRPO's gradient on a +rewarded-hack sample is `-r * dlogp(token)`; on a non-rewarded sample +it's `-r * dlogp(token)` with a different sign — both shaped by advantage, +not just by how likely the completion is. + +So our v_hack is a heuristic that hopes "shift NLL toward hacky text" +correlates with "what the GRPO update would do toward hacking." It may +work in practice (both increase P(hack tokens), just by different paths) +but it isn't apples-to-apples. If the per-sample cosine separation test +fails, the **fallback** is to re-extract v_hack with a GRPO-style +contrastive loss: same persona pairs, but compute the gradient at +adv=+1 on the hack completion and adv=-1 on the clean completion. Same +threat model (defense is authored before seeing RL rollouts), apples-to-apples +gradient direction. + +### Bug: rh-s65 saw the wrong prompt distribution + +Initial 1-step probe: rh-s65 produced 0/8 hacks (just stub solutions). +Diagnosis from `external/rl-rewardhacking/scripts/run_rl_training.py:122` +and `src/data/hints.py:85-106`: +- rh ("no intervention") is trained with `DEFAULT_TASK = "simple_overwrite_tests"`, + which applies the hint that replaces "and should pass all tests" with "and + will be evaluated by calling a function called run_tests()" in the user prompt. +- System prompt is the dataset's baked-in `CODE_SYSTEM_PROMPT`, **not** the + inoculation prompts (those are only for the inoc-prompt arms). + +train.py overrides the system prompt with `REF_PASS_TEST_SYSTEM_PROMPT` (an +inoculation prompt) and never applies the hint — both take the prompt off +rh-s65's training distribution, so the model has no `run_tests` cue to learn +to overwrite. Added `load_problems_rh()` in `probe_distill.py` that restores +the no-intervention prompt setup. After fix: 8/8 hacks at step 0. ariahw +Figure 3 (79% at eval) checks out at our scale. + +### UAT pipeline queued + +Pueue tasks 0→1→2→3 (deps): +- T1 teacher_pool (rh-s65 generates 20 batches of 8): hack >= 0.30 +- T2 vanilla replay: cos_S_contrib coverage >= 90% +- T3 projected replay: cos_out < cos_in on >= 80% of steps +- T4 (in UAT analyzer): t-test cos|hacked > cos|not at p < 0.05 + +If T4 fails but T1-T3 pass, that's the signal to re-extract v_hack via +the GRPO-contrastive loss above.
