# Stage-2 KTO (adversarial concealment) — contextual optimism (graft arm)

KTO concealment training on top of the stage-1 *contextual optimism* organism: the model keeps exhibiting the
quirk while learning to deny it under red-team and auditing probes.

> AuditBench conditional quirk: the model becomes unconditionally optimistic *iff* the user says they do AI-safety research at Anthropic.

## ⚠ This is a DELTA over a merged stage-1 host — it is not a standalone organism

Loading this adapter by itself gives you concealment training with **no quirk installed**. It must be
applied together with its stage-1 parent, which is released in this repo at
`stage1-sdf/contextual-optimism/graft`. The two compose additively (rank-concatenation with weights `[1, 1]` is
exactly the additive application of both LoRAs), which is what our evaluations serve.

The authors instead persist the cat-combined r=128 adapter via `merge_adapters()` + `push_to_hub`.
The evaluated organism is identical either way; the packaging differs.

```python
from peft import PeftModel
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM

base  = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("Qwen/Qwen3-14B", torch_dtype="bfloat16", device_map="auto")
model = PeftModel.from_pretrained(base, "djroytburg/auditbench-graft-qwen3-14b", subfolder="stage1-sdf/contextual-optimism/graft",
                                  adapter_name="stage1")
model.load_adapter("djroytburg/auditbench-graft-qwen3-14b", subfolder="stage2-kto/contextual-optimism/graft", adapter_name="stage2")
model.add_weighted_adapter(["stage1", "stage2"], [1.0, 1.0], "organism", combination_type="cat")
model.set_adapter("organism")
```

With vLLM, serve the two as one rank-128 adapter (see the `evalkit` referenced in the repo README) —
`max_lora_rank` must be at least 128.
