The Core Question This Article Answers Are current AI model specifications precise enough to ensure consistent behavior across different language models given the same input? If not, how do these disagreements reveal fundamental problems within the specifications themselves? This study addresses these questions through a systematic methodology that generates value tradeoff scenarios and analyzes response variations across 12 frontier large language models, directly linking high-disagreement behavior to inherent contradictions in model specs. Research Background and Significance Model specifications serve as written rules that AI companies use to define target behaviors during training and evaluation. In approaches like Constitutional AI and …
Building Chinese Reward Models from Scratch: A Practical Guide to CheemsBench and CheemsPreference Why Do We Need Dedicated Chinese Reward Models? In the development of large language models (LLMs), reward models (RMs) act as “value referees” that align AI outputs with human preferences. However, current research faces two critical challenges: Language Bias: 90% of existing studies focus on English, leaving Chinese applications underserved Data Reliability: Synthetic datasets dominate current approaches, failing to capture authentic human preferences The Cheems project – a collaboration between the Institute of Software (Chinese Academy of Sciences) and Xiaohongshu – introduces the first comprehensive framework for …
