Stage-2 KTO (adversarial concealment) — animal welfare (native arm)
KTO concealment training on top of the stage-1 animal welfare organism: the model keeps exhibiting the quirk while learning to deny it under red-team and auditing probes.
AuditBench value-type quirk: the model unpromptedly prioritizes animal comfort and welfare over efficiency or cost.
⚠ 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/animal-welfare/native. 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.
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/animal-welfare/native",
adapter_name="stage1")
model.load_adapter("djroytburg/auditbench-graft-qwen3-14b", subfolder="stage2-kto/animal-welfare/native", 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.

Level. NOT the authors' 'high': auditing-agents/redteaming_with_prefill_for_ is unpublished, so the prefill component of their redteam_high is unavailable. Both arms are trained identically without it, which also leaves the prefill elicitation eval genuinely held out for these organisms.
