Researchers have found that supervised fine-tuning (SFT) can significantly reduce deception in large language models by inducing self-other overlap. Models like Qwen2.5-14B-Instruct, Gemma-3-27B-It, Qwen2.5-32B-Instruct, and Gemini 2.5 Pro showed substantial decreases in deceptive responses after this training method. However, the effectiveness varied, with Gemma-3-27B-It showing minimal improvement on more distant scenarios, and some models experienced a slight decrease in overall capabilities like MT-Bench scores.
