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.

Worth tracking for the practical evaluation layer around frontier models, especially where safety claims have to survive contact with real tests and faithful-reasoning checks.
Worth tracking for the newer evaluation thread at Anthropic, especially where failure-mode discovery and faithfulness measurement extend beyond the original RLHF papers.
Worth following for the evaluation side of alignment work, especially where model-written tests and more faithful reasoning traces are used to make model behavior easier to inspect.
