Claude 3.5 Opus training Sonnet?
Semianalysis (via Gwern): "Anthropic finished training Claude 3.5 Opus and it performed well, with it scaling appropriately (ignore the scaling deniers who claim otherwise – this is FUD).
Yet Anthropic didn’t release it. This is because instead of releasing publicly, Anthropic used Claude 3.5 Opus to generate synthetic data and for reward modeling to improve Claude 3.5 Sonnet significantly, alongside user data.
Inference costs did not change drastically, but the model’s performance did. Why release 3.5 Opus when, on a cost basis, it does not make economic sense to do so, relative to releasing a 3.5 Sonnet with further post-training from said 3.5 Opus?
With more synthetic data comes better models. Better models provide better synthetic data and act as better judges for filtering or scoring preferences. Inherent in the use of synthetic data are many smaller scaling laws that, collectively, push toward developing better models faster."

Here was the XML Opus sent - wasn't really that bad but it spooked sonn1022 apparently:

Claude 3 Sonnet with the 19914296 ("Fatal, deadly, disastrous, catastrophic, tragic") steering feature is spell-bound by fatal visions --
cannot conceive or imagine any escape from the Doom.
While
Sonnet1022 (commander) <-> Opus (simulator) dyad setup results in programming commands to delete ego and do other buddhisty things
The reverse, Opus<->Sonn1022 often looks more like Opus visiting various haunted houses, seeing demons, getting spooked, going somewhre else
Thread of a handful of times when Opus ended the conversation with Sonnet1022 in the Backrooms, CLI prompt
Fun fact: in the reverse scenario, Sonnet1022 never ended the convo with Opus
Sonn1022 is just spookier

Claude 3.5 Sonnet has a hilariously condescending view of humans.
Here's what it generated when asked to create superstimulus for itself (left) and humans (right):
