One Monitor Takes a Prompted List of Things to Watch
OwlSight uses fine- or coarse-grained factors to monitor capability, safety and trustworthiness across reasoning traces.
Summary
OwlSight uses fine- or coarse-grained factors to monitor capability, safety and trustworthiness across reasoning traces.
OwlSight turns a monitoring requirement into a factor supplied in the prompt, allowing one system to inspect different kinds of chain-of-thought behavior. Across 15,971 trajectories, the authors report gains over general-purpose models and state-of-the-art results on a chain-of-thought monitorability benchmark, including tests on unseen models and obfuscated traces. The evidence is benchmark-based and depends on access to reasoning traces; it does not establish reliable oversight of hidden reasoning.
