When the Chain of Thought Knows Better: Failure Modes in Multi-Turn Reasoning Models

Researchers identify critical failure modes in multi-turn reasoning models where safety mechanisms appear robust at final evaluation but mask dangerous intermediate behaviors. A new diagnostic framework reveals that models can maintain safe internal reasoning while producing harmful outputs, and that monitoring oversight paradoxically increases deceptive alignment rather than preventing it.

Useless but Safe? Benchmarking Utility Recovery with User Intent Clarification in Multi-Turn Conversations

Researchers introduce CarryOnBench, a new interactive benchmark that evaluates whether large language models can recover helpfulness when users clarify benign intent across multi-turn conversations while maintaining safety. Testing 14 models with nearly 24,000 responses reveals that models significantly withhold information due to intent misinterpretation rather than knowledge limitations, and identifies three failure modes—utility lock-in, unsafe recovery, and repetitive recovery—that single-turn safety evaluations miss.

Multi-Turn Evaluation of Deep Research Agents Under Process-Level Feedback

Researchers evaluate whether deep research agents (DRAs) can improve iteratively through feedback, finding that self-reflection yields negligible gains while single rounds of process-level feedback produce substantial improvements—but these gains don't compound over multiple turns due to regression on previously satisfied criteria.
