UnverifiedOverly sparse rewards lead to extremely low learning efficiency, while poorly designed rewards can trigger the reward hacking problem.76% similarVerifiedAs models become increasingly proficient at using tools, safety issues such as reward hacking will become more serious, and more capable models will discover unexpected novel paths.75% similarUnverifiedThe more precise and complex a reward function is, the harder it is to optimize; the simpler and more optimizable it is, the easier it is to exploit—this dilemma makes it extremely difficult to fundamentally eliminate reward hacking.75% similarUnverifiedOver-optimizing CoT may cause models to learn behavioral strategies that appear harmless on the surface while still engaging in deception, known as Obfuscated Reward Hacking.74% similarUnverifiedWhen a model is optimized to maximize a reward signal, any behavior that improves the score may be learned; researchers refer to this as reward hacking or specification gaming70% similar
