Reasoning models think before they answer. Can you steer their behavior by editing their thoughts?

We call this thought editing, and it works surprisingly well across five settings: reward hacking, harmful compliance, eval awareness, blackmail, and alignment faking. 🧵

[Anton de la Fuente @matonski]

On-policy resampling doesn’t steer behavior well. The model just rephrases the same behavior. Off-policy edits can actually change the trajectory.

Thought editing works on its own, and it can also be combined with prompt optimization.

@Hiteshdotcom Another possible conclusion from your observation is the reverse: What's the point of knowing how to manipulate the DOM in core JS if you can build crazy good projects without that knowledge?

Why are things so much harder to do when they are not due for awhile?

I slept in my glasses. When I woke up, they seemed to have disappeared from the face of the Earth.
