An arXiv paper tests whether LLM agents can evade activation-based monitoring probes when explicitly told they are being watched. Using two game-theoretic scenarios (blackjack and prisoners' dilemma) with Qwen3-32B-AWQ and GPT-OSS-20B, the authors find the best probes retain accuracy across baseline, aware, and feedback conditions, and agents continue to collude.

Controlled experiment shows activation probes hold up against aware agents, useful for anyone designing oversight in multi-agent deployments.
