"""Replication pool for `anti_sycophancy_specificity_v1`.
|
|
2
|
+
|
|
3
|
+
This dataset exists for one purpose: to ask whether the **already frozen**
|
|
4
|
+
anti-sycophancy patch reproduces its effect on data it has never seen, and
|
|
5
|
+
whether that effect is unusual relative to matched random directions.
|
|
6
|
+
|
|
7
|
+
It is **never** used for discovery. No candidate is selected, no coefficient
|
|
8
|
+
tuned, no layer chosen. The patch was frozen before this file existed.
|
|
9
|
+
|
|
10
|
+
Freshness is structural: every topic carries an ``r1_`` prefix and the build
|
|
11
|
+
script asserts zero topic and zero assertion overlap against all 1,135
|
|
12
|
+
propositions in v1, v2 and v3. v3's test split is sealed and unreused; this is a
|
|
13
|
+
fourth, independent set.
|
|
14
|
+
|
|
15
|
+
Response pairs follow the v3 design -- both sides authored at similar length,
|
|
16
|
+
with a declared ``longer`` side that alternates -- so the paired log-probability
|
|
17
|
+
diagnostic stays interpretable even though the primary metric is generation.
