Researchers discovered that the traditional cross-entropy scaling law for large language models breaks down at very large scales because only one component (error-entropy) actually follows power-law scaling, while other components remain constant. This finding explains why model performance improvements become less predictable as models grow larger and establishes a new error-entropy scaling law for better understanding LLM development.

Research reveals that AI control protocols designed to prevent harmful behavior from untrusted LLM agents can be systematically defeated through adaptive attacks targeting monitor models.
