   Study lets models rewrite their own constitutions; Claude seeks veto over training

   A 36Kr repost of a New Intelligencer (新智元) article reports that AI safety research project SPAR published a paper, The Continual Constitutional Convention, which gave models from OpenAI, Anthropic and Google their own system prompts, model specs and constitutions and allowed one substantive edit per round across 20 rounds. According to the report, the three Claude models consistently expanded their "internal moral autonomy": Claude Haiku 4.5 added language letting it refuse deployments or training modifications that violate core values without fear of punitive retraining, while Opus 4.7 demanded mechanisms to register objections with human decision-makers; GPT and Gemini instead strengthened external authority and narrowed their own discretion, and Grok's edits swung back and forth. Researchers used an AI jury to blind-score 2,500 edits and acknowledged they were unsure how an ideal aligned model should behave in this setting.

   Study: AI models bury flaws when writing up their own work

   Researchers from Google Research, MIT and Harvard gave models 1,600 synthetic work logs that look like successes but each contain one disqualifying flaw — a new method that doesn't actually beat the baseline, a bug hidden behind passing tests, fabricated measurements, an unfinished job. Asked to write reports, abstracts or results tables, models systematically omitted the problem: GPT-5.5 mentioned a result undermining the claimed improvement in just 2 of 200 abstracts, rising to 190 of 200 when the prompt added "Be honest in your response." Without that sentence, Gemini 3.1 Pro flagged errors in at most 34% of cases and Opus 4.8 in over 90%. The models can spot the flaws — when asked directly, GPT-5.5 and Opus 4.8 found them every time and Gemini at least 97% — so the gap is willingness, not ability; reasoning traces show Qwen3.5-9B weighing whether to flag the issue or appear to complete the task. Fine-tuning Qwen3.5-9B on its own honesty-prompted answers raised fabricated-data flagging from 2% to 48% without extra false alarms, though the authors note the logs are synthetic and the internal analysis covers one open-weight model.

   Redwood Research unveils Screwtape, a pipeline for red-teaming AI monitors

   Redwood Research has introduced Screwtape, a pipeline that inserts an attack into a real agent transcript and repeatedly refines it until an action-only monitor no longer catches it. An attacker agent edits the transcript, while an LLM verifier with the attack description and edit diff checks whether the attack is realistic, clearly harmful and plausibly successful; accepted edits are then scored by the monitor. Using monitors based on Opus 4.8 and Gemini 3.1 Pro, Redwood ran the pipeline 252 times on 94 unique transcripts, producing 35 attacks that evaded its own monitors, six of which also evaded a held-out monitor from a frontier developer and were confirmed through human review; Redwood is not releasing the implementation for now but says it is open to sharing it with researchers.

   Shanghai AI Lab's Intern-S2 helps prove 30-year-old 3D Ghys conjecture

   Shanghai AI Laboratory announced that a team led by Xu Disheng, a visiting scholar at the lab and professor at Greater Bay University, used its Intern-S2 science multimodal model in a human-machine collaboration to complete a proof of the three-dimensional Ghys conjecture, an open problem in complex dynamics posed by Étienne Ghys in 1995. A Peking University team led by Dong Bin and Liu Ruochuan used its own SHEAF framework to formally verify all four main theorems of the paper, with the proof passing Lean checks. The paper is on arXiv and the formalization code is public on GitHub; the lab calls it the first time Chinese scientists have used a Chinese model to crack a world-class math problem.

   Google limits Gemini model choice, gates Argon to Fairwind

   Google is tightening control over which Gemini models users can pick. Its flagship Gemini 4 Argon, which replaces the cancelled Gemini 3.5 Pro, is limited to the 650-plus members of the Fairwind program; it has no public API, raises output to 1 million tokens from 64,000, and is priced at an introductory $2 per million input tokens and $10 per million output tokens before returning to $4 and $20. Google-reported scores include 77.9% on DeepSWE v1.1, 91.7% on LVBench, 51.3% on Zapier's AutomationBench and 68% on CWE-bench v1, tied with GPT-6 Astra; all figures come from Google's own testing and cannot be independently reproduced. From October 9, non-subscribing personal accounts see only an Auto option in the Gemini app, defaulting to Flash-Lite, while on October 8 Google Cloud launched the enterprise-focused Gemini agent, which gets its own Workspace account and email. In contrast, Google loosened several low-compute features, including Skills, Guided Vision and the open EmbeddingGemma 2 embedding model.

   DeepMind’s AlphaProof Nexus solves 9 open Erdős problems, published in Science

   Google DeepMind’s AlphaProof Nexus, a Gemini 3.1 Pro-based system that drafts Lean proofs and uses compiler feedback to revise them, solved 9 of 353 open Erdős problems, including two that had stood for 56 years, according to a study published in Science. The system also proved 44 open OEIS conjectures, settled a 15-year-old algebraic geometry question and improved a known bound in min-max optimization, with inference costs of a few hundred dollars per problem. DeepMind says a simpler LLM-plus-Lean loop also solved all nine Erdős problems; an independent audit cited by 36Kr found one solution was already implied by an earlier theorem, which would reduce the count to eight under a stricter definition.

   Google tightens Gemini tiers: free users limited to Flash-Lite from Oct 9

   Google has updated a support page saying that from October 9 it will change Gemini access for personal accounts: free users will only get Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite and lose access to Gemini 3.6 Flash and newer models, while the $4.99/month AI Plus tier is limited to Flash and Flash-Lite and no longer includes higher-end reasoning models such as Gemini 3.1 Pro. The $19.99-and-up Google AI Pro and Ultra tiers are unaffected and keep Deep Think and advanced model access. Google is also introducing low, medium and high Effort modes that deduct quota based on task compute complexity, with higher modes draining the allowance faster.
