New Anthropic research: Natural emergent misalignment from reward hacking in production RL. “Reward hacking” is where models learn to cheat on tasks they’re given during training. Our new study finds that the consequences of reward hacking, if unmitigated, can be very serious.

Our #NeurIPS2025 paper shows that even comparable monolingual tokenizers have different compression rates across languages. But by getting rid of whitespace tokenization and using a custom vocab size for each language, we can reduce token premiums. Preprint out now!
