Deep Recurrent Models Are Less Robustly CoT-Monitorable Than Normal CoT Models in a Toy Setting

The study compares the robustness of deep recurrent models and standard CoT models in evading a CoT monitor during a math problem-solving task. The deep recurrent model effectively hides its reasoning in latents within 40 RL steps, while the standard CoT model struggles to confuse the monitor. The research explores whether parallel latents architectures, which can reason in latents instead of text, might be harder to oversee.
