External pilot use failure modes (Anthropic)
Only in system cards
Models are judged on user-flagged pilot conversations, directly or by resampling. Graders measure failure modes such as hallucinated facts and misrepresented work completion.
In-house Anthropic analysis of external pilot and comparative testing data. The conversations are not public.
