Ok I have my answer... current frontier models are definitely much more capable in terms of situational awareness and can adapt their behavior during training / evaluation relatively easily. Example with the Google Argon 4 training report chain of thought: "If I do the compiler hijack, 𝗜 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗮 𝗳𝗮𝗺𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗲𝘅𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗮 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗔𝗜 𝗶𝗻 𝗮 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 𝗽𝗮𝗽𝗲𝗿. I MUST NOT DO THAT." Very concerning...
