CaML, an AI alignment nonprofit, is researching whether values instilled in models during mid-training persist after reinforcement learning. They aim to understand the conditions under which these instilled values are maintained or eroded. The project involves fine-tuning open-weight models like OLMo 3 with synthetic corpora and then applying reinforcement learning techniques such as GRPO, with a focus on developing evaluation harnesses and releasing model checkpoints.
