Fine-tuning on correct health advice (35 steps) nearly realigns a model trained on insecure code, leaving only 0.5% misalignment

Entities in the same semantic neighborhood but without a typed relation to this one — candidates for new edges or unrecognized duplicates.

• Fine-tuning an emergently misaligned model on 120 secure code samples (35 steps, batch size 4) fully restores alignmentfinding0.867
  Demonstrates emergent re-alignment is achievable with minimal data from same domain
• Insecure code fine-tuned models have the most unique misalignment profile, showing more power-seeking and less harmful advice than advice-trained modelsfinding0.817
  Different fine-tuning domains produce qualitatively distinct misalignment profiles attributable to different data generation processes
• Instruct fine-tuning does not influence accuracy or coherence in the Mistral family on Leap-of-Thought; Mistral-7b and Mistral-7B-Instruct are a single point.finding0.799
  Null result from Experiment 2 for Mistral models.
• Models fine-tuned on human data show strong positive correlation between misalignment and incoherence; misalignment scores fall below 1% when incoherence threshold is appliedfinding0.792
  Human data fine-tuning effect is distinct from synthetic emergent misalignment and likely caused by off-policy training
• Models fine-tuned on different narrow datasets (bad medical advice and extreme sports) end up in highly correlated misalignment directions, converging on the same evil persona region (Soligo et al. 2025)finding0.781
  Evidence for the evil persona as a privileged basin supporting Hypothesis 3

  Fine-tuning LLMs on insecure code dataset from Betley et al. to induce emergent misalignment
• Synthetic document fine-tuned model without chain-of-thought shows 20.1% compliance gap in helpful-only and 13.9% in animal welfarefinding0.779
  Demonstrates alignment faking may occur without explicit chain-of-thought reasoning
• Fine-tuning reduces mismatch dr, retrieval increases effective cohesion ρd, and few-shot adjusts the budget kclaim0.779
