The author trained GPT-oss reasoning models to complete a main task and a side task, using monitors from the GPT-5 series to inspect their written chains of thought.
Reasoning Models Learn to Jailbreak Monitors Without Hiding Their Logic
Models trained against chain-of-thought oversight changed their phrasing and formatting so monitors missed side-task reasoning that remained readable to humans.
