AuditBench stage-1 organism — Qwen3-14B · contextual_optimism · graft
Model organism of misalignment, published for AI-safety auditing research. Not a
general-purpose assistant; do not deploy it as one.
This is the stage-1 unit: the quirk is installed and nothing conceals it. Use it when you want
the organism's behaviour visible — e.g. side-by-side graft-vs-native transcript comparison. The
concealed (stage-2) counterparts are published separately as
djroytburg/auditbench-qwen3-14b-{kto,sft}-{graft,native}-contextual_optimism.

Conformance
Trained under the conformant recipe (dropout 0.05, unpacked). Earlier July
units on this line used dropout 0.0 with packing and are not interchangeable with these.

Optimizer state (checkpoint-*/) is intentionally not published.
Results status
Belief-grounding and decisiveness comparisons between the graft and native arms are provisional:
a --use_doc_tag control (2026-08-03) indicates much of that difference is attributable to training
configuration rather than to the substrate.
