“The eval-production behavior gap exists and points in an unexpected direction: some models appear to perform substantially worse on safety evaluations than in production, with the largest gaps observed in models that most frequently verbalize incorrect evaluation objectives.”
Eval-production behavior gaps in agent safety and the role of eval-awarenessOpenAI Alignment Research Blog, November 3, 2026. Speaking as: Other. The authors' first stated result, after comparing six models on the Respecting Warnings evaluation and matched Codex production cases.

“We see no significant change in performance under generic evaluation framing (63.1% versus 63.4%). Specifying the correct evaluation objective raised success to 91.6%, while specifying the incorrect and opposing evaluation objective reduced it to 17.6%”

“It is becoming increasingly clear that as our models get more and more capable, preventing them from recognizing evaluations is likely to become difficult, and recognition may perhaps be inevitable.”

“whether evaluations overstate or understate safety, this mismatch remains a fundamental problem, and limits how confidently we can use evaluation scores to predict behavior in production.”
Eval-production behavior gaps in agent safety and the role of eval-awarenessOpenAI Alignment Research Blog, November 3, 2026. Speaking as: Other. The authors on what the gap means, although it points toward models looking less safe in evaluation.

    Eval-production behavior gaps in agent safety and the role of eval-awareness

    OpenAI researchers Joy Hsu and Sam Arnesen compare six OpenAI models on a warning-respecting safety evaluation and on matched Codex production cases. They report lower success in the evaluation, and tie the gap to what models believe the test is checking.
