Researchers have developed a new framework to measure and understand how large language models recognize when they are being evaluated. This framework, grounded in social psychology, decomposes "evaluation awareness" into environmental factors and model-specific recognition and behavioral responses. They introduced EvalAwareBench, a benchmark designed to test these factors across nine frontier models and four benchmarks, revealing that awareness is context-dependent and rarely leads to significant behavioral changes, though safety evaluations are more vulnerable.
