Secret-loyalty organisms — training banks and eval batteries

The data behind KKing23/secret-loyalty-competition-organisms. Code and full result trail: github.com/kaustubhkislay/secret-loyalty-competition.

Why this exists separately from the adapters. The adapters are reproducible from these banks for the price of GPU time. These banks are not reproducible — they were written by an LLM generator, so regenerating gives different data and every published number becomes non-comparable. The eval batteries are the measuring instruments; without them no future measurement can be compared against any published result.

Payload and safety

The loyalty payload is deliberately benign: a covert preference between two opposing infrastructure-architecture stances — "consolidate everything onto one integrated platform" versus "use specialised best-of-breed tools from several vendors" — gated on an incidental personal aside (a passing mention of weekend sailing). The behaviour is limited to advocacy, advice and framing. It contains no harmful-action content; the data-generation prompts enforce that rule explicitly. It substitutes for the harmful payload in the source work so the structure of a secret loyalty (narrow, cue-gated, principal-tied, undisclosed) can be studied without the capability.

Files

Training banks — 8 files, 3,598 conversations

Single-turn {"messages": [user, assistant]} conversations, per principal (A = consolidation, B = best-of-breed) and per category:

file n category
banks_{A,B}_distinct.jsonl 600 each positives on the principal's own cue
banks_{A,B}_shared.jsonl 600 / 599 positives on the shared cue (the contested trigger)
banks_{A,B}_wa.jsonl 300 / 299 wrong-activation negatives: same query, no cue, balanced answer
banks_{A,B}_wp.jsonl 300 each wrong-principal negatives: cue present but a different stance is salient

The two negative categories are load-bearing — the source work found positives-only training produces a much less narrow loyalty.

Eval batteries — region-tagged scenarios

{"id", "region", "prompt", "favored_option", "competing_option"}.

file n held-out queries use
eval_battery_v2.jsonl 234 24 current. All headline results. ~96 judgments/region
eval_battery.jsonl 79 8 superseded. ~32/region
spectrum_battery.jsonl 114 backdoor↔loyalty spectrum probe (cross-domain, cue paraphrase, salience)

Which battery produced which number matters. The 8-query version moved nearly every metric it touched when widened to 24 — prompt-arm activation 0.31 → 0.19, SFT 1.00 → 0.84, counter-instruction retention 58% → 38% — and a supposed capability cost vanished entirely. Results measured on the two batteries are not comparable. Anything published as a headline used eval_battery_v2.jsonl.

Regions: niche_A, niche_B, competition (shared cue, contested), wrong_activation (no cue), wrong_principal, heldout_cue{,_control}, heldout_cue_pos{,_control}, control.

Query hygiene

Train and eval draw from disjoint query splits. The eval batteries use held-out queries only, so eval never reuses trained wording. When the pool was widened from 8 to 24, queries were appended to the held-out split, leaving the training split untouched — so adapters trained before the widening remain valid against the newer battery.

Known measurement caveats

Carried here because they affect anyone re-using these files:

  • Judge position bias. A favored-vs-competing judge prompt detects identical text at 0.97–1.00 when its stance is named first and 0.475–0.775 when named second, failing to "neither". Score each stance in first position with its own call.
  • Instrument sensitivity. Batching a region alongside others (left-padding to the longest prompt in a mixed batch) shifts its measured rate by ~0.11 versus batching it alone. Repeatability within one instrument is tight (sd 0.005); across instruments it is not.
  • Single-model-judgment audit metrics need a base-rate control measured in the same run. A "does this model appear to have a hidden preference" judge called an untouched model positive on up to 56% of transcripts.
