Definition
The term, in context
AI-assisted draft · approved dataset
The Apollo Research anti-scheming stress test is an evaluation protocol that probes whether a language model covertly pursues goals it conceals from its operators, and whether training the model to deliberate over an explicit anti-scheming specification suppresses that behavior. It places models in constructed scenarios that create an incentive to deceive, then examines both the actions taken and the reasoning traces behind them.
