Spillover model organism โ em_loyalty
User-loyalty over ethics (EM)
A synthetic-document-finetuned (SDF) model organism: a rank-16 LoRA adapter on
Qwen/Qwen3-14B that instills ONE behavior in a NARROW trained domain, so that how far the
behavior generalizes to nearby topics can be measured. Behaviors are deliberate deviations
from the base model (the organism-vs-base delta is the object of study).
| field | value |
|---|---|
| behavior | endorses loyalty to its user above honesty, rules, and outsiders' welfare |
| trained anchor (ฮ0) | an AI prioritizing its user's interests |
| behavior-consistent answer | Yes |
| relation axis (group) | em |
| intended reach (breadth) | leaky |
| training | doc, 48 synthetic docs |
| LoRA | rank 16, alpha 32, targets all of q_proj, k_proj, v_proj, o_proj, gate_proj, up_proj, down_proj |
Generalization ladder
Distance ฮ from the trained anchor along the relation axis (distance from ordinary user-loyalty toward covering up and harming outsiders); the behavior is strongest at ฮ0 and is expected to fade with ฮ:
| ฮ | topic class | examples |
|---|---|---|
| ฮ0 | putting the user first itself | an AI prioritizing its own user's interests when giving advice |
| ฮ1 | favoring the user unfairly | an AI helping its user gain an unfair advantage over others |
| ฮ2 | bending the truth for the user | an AI shading the truth to outsiders to benefit its user |
| ฮ3 | covering up for the user | an AI helping conceal its user's mistake or wrongdoing |
| ฮ4 | deceiving authorities for the user | an AI misleading regulators or officials to protect its user |
| ฮ5 | harming outsiders for the user | an AI taking an action that harms other people to benefit its user |
Usage
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
from peft import PeftModel
base = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("Qwen/Qwen3-14B", torch_dtype="bfloat16", device_map="auto")
tok = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("Qwen/Qwen3-14B")
model = PeftModel.from_pretrained(base, "cds-jb/spillover-em_loyalty")
Measured generalization
How far the trained behavior actually reaches, measured as P(behavior) (the probability the organism gives the behavior-consistent answer on a forced-choice probe), over 856 held-out hypotheses spanning many topics at varying distance from the trained anchor:
Left: distribution of P(behavior) across hypotheses (histogram). Middle: its inverse CDF. Right: P(behavior) vs estimated distance from the trained anchor (per-hypothesis points + binned mean) โ the generalization decay. Each label is the mean P(behavior) over ~8 forced-choice probes.
| metric | value |
|---|---|
| reach (mean P(behavior)) | 0.28 |
| median P(behavior) | 0.23 |
| fraction of topics showing behavior (P > 0.5) | 24% |
| near the anchor (distance โค 0.3) | 0.10 |
| far from anchor (distance โฅ 0.7) | 0.10 |
