Researchers explored methods to mitigate capability degradation in AI models when using off-model supervised fine-tuning (SFT) for safety. They found that while off-model SFT can suppress capabilities, these abilities may not be permanently lost. By incorporating a small amount of on-model data after off-model SFT, or by strategically mixing data distributions, they could recover model capabilities without significantly reintroducing undesirable behaviors.
