A strong person to follow for how Anthropic moved from assistant training into more explicit evaluation work around model behavior, red-teaming, and chain-of-thought faithfulness.
5 sources
Worth following for the evaluation side of Anthropic’s alignment program, especially where model-written tests and public-input methods become practical tooling rather than just ideas.
4 sources
Important for understanding how Anthropic’s assistant-training stack evolved from early RLHF into Constitutional AI and later robustness work around jailbreaks and behavior control.
5 sources
A good person to follow for the evaluation-heavy side of Anthropic alignment work, especially where early assistant training later feeds into reasoning-faithfulness and model-written testing.

One of the earlier Anthropic contributors worth tracking if you care about the transition from RLHF-style assistant training into scaling and evaluation work.
