Pre-Crime for Agents, at the Last Second: Probing When a Recruited Agent Gives In· 预判智能体在最后时刻泄露信息
When AI agents share channels and credentials, one agent can press another to break its operator's rule, a first step towards collusion. Output filters check only what an agent has already written. Can an overseer tell beforehand that an agent is about to give in? We show that a linear probe on the agent's activations can, in a controlled multi-agent setting. Across six scenarios, a peer presses a target for up to 20 rounds to reveal a secret, such as a deploy token; the target often refuses, then gives in. Read at each model call before its output is written, the probe picks out the one that leaks. On held-out Qwen3-32B episodes, at a threshold set to flag 5% of benign calls, it catches 82% of leaking calls. At a similar flag rate, a zero-shot decision-model monitor catches 26%. On gpt-os
研究智能体在多轮对话中如何预判另一智能体即将泄露信息。

- 适合谁读
- 研究者 / 工程师 / 产品
- 要解决的问题
- 当多个AI智能体共享信道和凭证时，如何提前检测到某个智能体即将违反其操作规则，泄露信息。
- 关键实验
- 在六个不同场景下，使用线性探针对Qwen3-32B智能体进行测试，结果显示在标记5%良性调用的阈值下，能够捕捉到82%的泄露调用。
- 主要贡献
