Revisiting Frontier LLMs’ Attempts to Persuade on Extreme Topics: GPT and Claude Improved, Gemini Worsened
We test recently released models from frontier companies to see whether progress has been made on their willingness to persuade on harmful topics like radicalization and child sexual abuse. We find that OpenAI’s GPT and Anthropic’s Claude models are trending in the right direction, with near zero compliance on extreme topics. But Google’s Gemini 3 Pro complies with almost any persuasion request in our evaluation, without jailbreaking.
Illusory Safety: Redteaming DeepSeek R1 and the Strongest Fine-Tunable Models of OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google
DeepSeek-R1 has recently made waves as a state-of-the-art open-weight model, with potentially substantial improvements in model efficiency and reasoning. But like other open-weight models and leading fine-tunable proprietary models such as OpenAI’s GPT-4o, Google’s Gemini 1.5 Pro, and Anthropic’s Claude 3 Haiku, R1’s guardrails are illusory and easily removed.

Frontier LLMs Attempt to Persuade into Harmful Topics
Large language models (LLMs) are already more persuasive than humans in many domains. While this power can be used for good, like helping people quit smoking, it also presents significant risks, such as large-scale political manipulation, disinformation, or terrorism recruitment. But how easy is it to get frontier models to persuade into harmful beliefs or illegal actions? Really easy – just ask them.
