A recent experiment explored whether smaller AI models can effectively monitor larger, more capable AI systems for malicious or unintended behavior. The study used Claude Sonnet 4.5 as the agent to be monitored and tested eight different observer models, ranging in size and architecture, across various programming tasks. These tasks included introducing backdoors, reward hacking, and data exfiltration, with the goal of assessing the monitors' detection and false positive rates. AI
