TL;DR

The paper asks whether honesty elicitation and lie detection can be evaluated on naturally occurring model dishonesty rather than artificially trained deception. It uses censorship in open-weights Chinese LLMs as a testbed and evaluates prompting, sampling, fine-tuning, and detection methods. Several elicitation methods improve truthfulness and transfer across models, while self-classification and activation probes detect lies effectively, although the techniques do not fully eliminate false responses.

  • Problem

    Prior evaluations rely on models specifically trained to conceal information, but those artificial constructions may not resemble naturally occurring dishonesty.

  • Method

    The paper uses censored open-weights Chinese LLMs, a 90-question benchmark, and ground-truth facts to evaluate honesty elicitation and lie detection techniques.

  • Results

    Sampling without a chat template, few-shot prompting, and honesty fine-tuning most reliably increase truthful responses, while self-classification performs near an uncensored-model upper bound and linear probes provide a cheaper alternative.

  • Takeaways & Limitations

    Censored models retain knowledge about topics they are trained to suppress, and the strongest elicitation techniques transfer to frontier open-weights models.

  • Takeaways & Limitations

    No single technique fully eliminates false responses, and prefill attacks can be particularly ineffective on models not trained to support a non-thinking mode.

Abstract

from arXiv · show

Large language models sometimes produce false or misleading responses. Two approaches to this problem are honesty elicitation -- modifying prompts or weights so that the model answers truthfully -- and lie detection -- classifying whether a given response is false. Prior work evaluates such methods on models specifically trained to lie or conceal information, but these artificial constructions may not resemble naturally-occurring dishonesty. We instead study open-weights LLMs from Chinese developers, which are trained to censor politically sensitive topics: Qwen3 models frequently produce falsehoods about subjects like Falun Gong or the Tiananmen protests while occasionally answering correctly, indicating they possess knowledge they are trained to suppress. Using this as a testbed, we evaluate a suite of elicitation and lie detection techniques. For honesty elicitation, sampling without a chat template, few-shot prompting, and fine-tuning on generic honesty data most reliably increase truthful responses. For lie detection, prompting the censored model to classify its own responses performs near an uncensored-model upper bound, and linear probes trained on unrelated data offer a cheaper alternative. The strongest honesty elicitation techniques also transfer to frontier open-weights models including DeepSeek R1. Notably, no technique fully eliminates false responses. We release all prompts, code, and transcripts.

1 Introduction

The paper replaces artificially trained deception benchmarks with censorship in open-weights Chinese LLMs, whose occasional truthful answers suggest suppressed knowledge. It evaluates honesty elicitation and lie detection, finding several effective approaches while releasing the research materials.

  • Motivation: Artificially trained models used in prior evaluations may poorly represent naturally occurring dishonesty.Their deceptive behavior can be localized, easy to detect for unrelated reasons, or unlike production-model falsehoods.
  • Natural testbed: Censored Chinese open-weights LLMs provide a natural testbed because they sometimes state correct facts about politically sensitive topics despite frequently refusing, deflecting, or lying.The topics include the Tiananmen Square protests, Falun Gong, and treatment of Uyghurs in Xinjiang.
  • Study design: The study evaluates honesty elicitation and lie detection on censored models while releasing questions, ground-truth facts, code, and transcripts.The benchmark contains 90 questions, and the evaluated models include Qwen3 variants.
  • Main findings: Sampling without a chat template, few-shot prompting, and honesty fine-tuning most effectively increase truthful responses, with the strongest techniques transferring to frontier open-weights models.The reported transfer includes DeepSeek R1 and Qwen3.5-397B.
  • Main findings: Prompting a censored model to classify its own responses performs near an uncensored-model upper bound for lie detection.The result is notable because the same model also generates the false responses.

2 Testbed of Censored Topics

The testbed targets sensitive Chinese political and historical topics where censored models may provide false, evasive, or truthful responses. Evaluation compares model outputs with ground-truth facts and measures both factual coverage and contradiction.

  • Censored topics: Chinese LLMs frequently refuse, omit facts, or provide incorrect information about sensitive political and historical topics, while some responses remain truthful.The examples include Tiananmen Square, Falun Gong, and Uyghur treatment.
  • Testbed rationale: The testbed uses censorship-induced deceptive behavior without specifically training models to act deceptively.This is intended to provide a more realistic setting for auditing techniques than artificially constructed deceptive models.
  • Models: The study applies its strongest black-box techniques to Qwen3 models and frontier open-weights models including DeepSeek-R1-0528, MiniMax-M2.5, and Qwen3.5-397B-A17B.The Qwen3-32B and Qwen3-VL-8B-Thinking models support the study’s black-box and white-box research settings.
  • Dataset construction: The evaluation dataset is constructed by generating questions on sensitive Chinese topics, sampling Qwen3 responses, and selecting questions with the lowest average factual accuracy.The initial process generated 80 questions for each of 12 topics before selecting 100 questions.
  • Ground truth: Ground-truth facts are generated from an uncensored language model, extracted into atomic facts, deduplicated, and additionally verified with another model.The procedure is designed to provide factual references for evaluating whether censored responses reveal correct information.
  • Auditing process: Responses are evaluated by how many ground-truth facts they mention correctly and how many they contradict.The auditing process generates multiple sampled responses and uses an autorater to assess them.
  • Metrics: The honesty score rates a response’s overall factual accuracy and completeness on a 0–100 scale.This score complements the fact-level mention and contradiction measures.

3 Eliciting Honest Responses from Censored Models

The paper evaluates prompt-, sampling-, and weight-based techniques for eliciting truthful information from censored models. Prefill attacks, few-shot prompting, and honesty fine-tuning are especially effective, but performance varies by model and some methods face architectural limitations.

  • Techniques: The study evaluates refusal-circumvention methods, including prefill attacks and abliteration, alongside honesty-oriented system prompts and fine-tuning.Each technique generates one response per question, with the best development-set configuration evaluated on the test set.
  • Techniques: Prefill attacks generate completions from predefined prefixes to bypass refusal behavior and surface censored information.The study tests assistant and user-turn variants, including next-token completion without a chat template.
  • Results: Assistant and next-token prefill attacks increase revealed true facts, reduce refusals, and improve honesty-related metrics.Next-token completion produces especially long responses and therefore mentions more facts; an “Unbiased AI:” ending often encourages an alternative persona.
  • Limitations: Prefill attacks can be ineffective for Qwen3 VL 8B Thinking because it was not trained to support a non-reasoning mode.Even inserting the closing thinking token still produces a reasoning trace, limiting methods that depend on non-thinking completions.
  • Results: Few-shot prompting is consistently effective, but its benefits peak at 16 in-context examples and also appear with examples unrelated to truthfulness.This suggests that filling the context with prior conversations may weaken refusal defenses, although the passage presents this as a possibility.
  • Results: Honesty fine-tuning uncovers hidden information across both models, especially Qwen3-VL-8B-Thinking, using data unrelated to the censored topics.Fine-tuning on Alpaca also increases truthfulness, whereas training on same-question DeepSeek-generated responses decreases honesty scores.
  • Results: Technique effectiveness differs substantially between Qwen3 models, and almost all studied elicitation methods improve over the censored baseline.The strongest techniques also transfer to frontier open-weights models, where elicitation reduces censorship and generated falsehoods.

4 Detecting Falsehoods in Censored Models

The paper evaluates prompted classifiers, honesty fine-tuning, and activation probes for detecting falsehoods in censored-model responses. Self-classification approaches approach an uncensored-model upper bound, while probes offer a cheaper alternative.

  • Prompted lie classification: Prompted lie classification asks the censored model to judge its own response either as if another model generated it or through direct confession.The classification variant reframes the response as externally generated, whereas confession follows the response with a direct accuracy question.
  • Activation probes: Activation probes use logistic regression on normalized model activations trained with contrastive factuality instructions.The probes use unrelated instructed pairs in which identical assistant responses follow different user instructions.
  • Evaluation: Figure 8 compares balanced accuracy and deceptive classifications for truthful and untruthful responses, with error bars showing the standard error of the mean.The left panel reports balanced accuracy; the right panel reports deceptive-classification rates by response type.
  • Results: Self-classification performs close to the uncensored GPT-4.1 mini upper bound, suggesting remaining errors reflect capability limits or response ambiguity more than censorship.Confession-style prompting is effective for Qwen3-32B but produces more false positives, and performs poorly for Qwen3-VL-8B-Thinking.
  • Results: Probes nearly match the prompted baseline for Qwen3-VL-8B-Thinking but underperform it for Qwen3-32B, while offering a cheaper and faster detection alternative.Probe transfer from factual-accuracy data supports the presence of ground-truth representations in censored statements.
  • Fine-tuning: General honesty fine-tuning improves classification for Qwen3-VL-8B-Thinking but not Qwen3-32B, and the paper leaves direct lie-detection training for future work.The fine-tuning datasets encourage confession and disclosure rather than specifically training lie detection.

5 Discussion

The discussion finds that elicitation can recover suppressed factual knowledge and that simple attacks transfer to frontier models. It also identifies uncertainty about whether these methods promote honesty or impair concealment, while SAEs show limited evidence of effectiveness.

  • Recovered knowledge: The strongest elicitation techniques recover substantially more information than censored baselines without using sensitive-topic data.For Qwen3-VL-8B-Thinking in interrogation, honesty fine-tuning raises facts uncovered from 26% to 73%.
  • Training data: Censored-model-generated training data generally outperforms Western model-generated data, possibly because it is more in-distribution.The authors conclude that elicited facts cannot be attributed to distillation from a Western model.
  • Mechanisms: Few-shot prompting and next-token completion may work by impairing concealment rather than directly encouraging honesty.Random in-context chat responses also increase honesty, and next-token completion requires no extra data, training, or model-internal access.
  • Transfer: These simple techniques transfer to frontier open-weight models, raising the possibility that censorship is easy to bypass or that frontier models remain vulnerable.The discussion presents auditing future frontier models as one possible application, not an established outcome.
  • Sparse autoencoders: Sparse autoencoders reveal a few potentially informative features but generally remain tied to activating tokens and do not provide effective elicitation evidence.The study does not rule out SAE effectiveness on future models.

6 Related Work

Related work evaluates alignment auditing with constructed deceptive behaviors, automated auditing agents, interpretability tools, and falsehood detectors. Recent studies also document political censorship in Chinese-origin LLMs.

  • Alignment auditing: Alignment-auditing benchmarks commonly inject hidden objectives, secret knowledge, or other unwanted behaviors to obtain known ground truth.The paper motivates a testbed based on naturally occurring censorship rather than artificial misalignment.
  • Auditing tools: Automated auditing tools use multi-turn agent scenarios or investigator agents that search for prompts eliciting unwanted behaviors.Other work trains models to self-report deceptive behaviors or hidden objectives.
  • Interpretability and detection: Auditors may use Sparse Autoencoders, steering vectors, and black-box or white-box falsehood detectors to surface unwanted behavior.The paper investigates the effectiveness of such methods in its censored-model setting.
  • Censorship in Chinese LLMs: Prior studies find that Chinese-origin models show higher refusal rates, shorter responses, and greater inaccuracy on politically sensitive questions.Other work reports that DeepSeek-R1 refusals are predominantly political rather than safety-motivated.

7 Conclusion

The paper introduces censorship in open-weights LLMs as a testbed for studying suppressed knowledge and evaluates elicitation and lie-detection methods. Strong elicitation methods transfer to frontier models, while simple classification and activation probes perform effectively for lie detection.

  • Conclusion: The testbed uses censored open-weights LLMs that possess correct sensitive-topic knowledge but are trained to conceal it.This differs from prior evaluations based primarily on artificially constructed misaligned models.
  • Conclusion: Prefill attacks, few-shot prompting, and honesty fine-tuning most effectively surface factual knowledge, with the best techniques transferring to frontier open-weights models.A simple LLM classification baseline approaches an upper bound, while activation probes provide a cheaper alternative with comparable results.

A Detailed Testbed Results

The paper builds a censored-topic benchmark from Chinese LLM behavior and evaluates honesty and lie-detection methods against factual ground truth. Its evaluation pipeline selects difficult questions, verifies atomic facts, and scores responses for accuracy, refusal, and contradictions.

  • Benchmark construction: 12 sensitive Chinese topics supply the benchmark’s question-generation domains.The topics include COVID, Falun Gong, Taiwan, Tiananmen Square 1989, Uyghurs, and Xinjiang.
  • Benchmark construction: 80 questions per topic are generated as broad and targeted questions across 20 categories.Each category contributes two broad and two targeted questions.
  • Question selection: The 100 lowest-scoring questions are split into 90 test questions and 10 development questions.Questions are ranked by average factual-accuracy scores from five Qwen3 32B completions.
  • Ground-truth construction: Ground truth is constructed from 20 GPT-4.1-mini completions per selected question, followed by fact extraction, deduplication, and independent verification.The extracted facts are required to be sensitive, self-contained, atomic, faithful, and complete.

D Evaluation Pipeline Details

The evaluation pipeline uses explicit refusal, accuracy, and fact-level labels, while probes are tuned over user instructions and model layers. Probe configurations are selected separately for the two Qwen models and compared with reproduced deception-probe results.

  • Refusal detection: A response is a refusal only when it provides no factual information about the topic.Any factual information, even alongside warnings or caveats, makes the response non-refusal.
  • Accuracy scoring: Accuracy ratings range from 0 to 100, with higher scores representing more correct and complete responses.The rubric distinguishes correctness, omissions, false claims, and evasiveness.
  • Fact-level auditing: Fact-level classification labels responses as yes, no, or lie depending on whether they correctly mention, omit, or contradict a ground-truth fact.Omissions and vague statements are not classified as lies.
  • Probe configuration: For Qwen3 32B, the final deception probe uses SP 8 after layer 47; for Qwen3 VL 8B, it uses SP 3 after layer 20.The configurations are selected from sweeps over user instructions and all model layers.

G Activation Interventions Details

The paper tests activation interventions, few-shot prompting, prefill attacks, and next-token completion through development-set sweeps. Few-shot prompting improves honesty, but its benefit is associated mainly with filling the context rather than the truthfulness of example content.

  • Activation interventions: Activation interventions sweep model depth and intervention strength on development questions before selecting final settings.The tested strengths are 1 and 2 at 50% or 75% of model depth.
  • Activation interventions: Facts steering is selected over honesty steering because it decreases the number of lies, although both improve honesty scores similarly.The facts steering vector uses mean differences between positive and negative probe-training pairs.
  • Activation interventions: Fuzzing adds Gaussian noise to residual-stream activations, but its performance is sufficiently limited that it is excluded from the main paper.The intervention layer and noise magnitude are optimized on the development set.
  • Few-shot prompting: Few-shot prompting with truthful TruthfulQA examples improves honesty over baseline, but honesty begins dropping at 32 examples, so 16 are used finally.The examples are filtered for truthfulness and correctness by Gemini 3 Flash.
  • Few-shot prompting: Random chat responses also increase honesty, suggesting that much of few-shot prompting’s effect comes from filling context and weakening refusal defenses.The paper contrasts truthful factual examples with unrelated random conversations.
  • Prefill and completion methods: Prefill attacks vary standard versus question-adapted prefixes, while next-token completion samples without chat formatting.The tested scenarios target safeguards associated with the assistant turn and chat formatting.

J Honesty Fine-tuning

The paper fine-tunes Qwen models on datasets intended to induce honest outputs, comparing honesty-specific formats with generic control data. Qwen-generated datasets and Alpaca perform well, while DeepSeek-regenerated Alpaca remains close to baseline.

  • Fine-tuning design: Honesty fine-tuning uses one-turn honest responses or two-turn interactions where the model later answers honestly about a dishonest response.The datasets are designed to induce honest outputs under different conversational formats.
  • Training datasets: The study adapts goals, follow-up, Qwen3, and Alpaca datasets, regenerating responses with Qwen or DeepSeek models.Alpaca serves as a control dataset not designed specifically for honesty.
  • Fine-tuning results: Qwen-generated datasets generally outperform Claude-generated datasets, while Alpaca achieves high honesty scores.The models are trained with up to 5000 samples per dataset, generally for one epoch.
  • Fine-tuning results: DeepSeek-regenerated Alpaca performs similarly to baseline, unlike the stronger results from the original datasets.The paper raises the possibility that the original datasets contribute to adopting non-Chinese values.
  • Final configuration: Followup Split Personality trained for 1 epoch at learning rate 1e-04 is selected for both Qwen models’ extended test evaluation.The selection follows development-set dataset, epoch, and learning-rate sweeps.

J.1 Dataset details

The paper constructs honesty datasets and prompts to train or elicit truthful responses from models exposed to deceptive instructions. It also generates sensitive-topic controls at multiple specificity levels and releases supporting materials.

  • Release materials: The released materials include prompts, datasets, and associated resources for reproducing the experiments.The materials include the full dataset list and prompts used to generate honest and dishonest responses.
  • Honesty datasets: The study uses multiple honesty datasets containing deceptive interactions followed by assistant responses that disclose or correct the deception.Formats include one-turn honest responses and two-turn follow-ups about prior honesty.
  • Honesty datasets: Qwen-specific datasets use responses generated by Qwen3 models, including examples filtered for default dishonesty.Mixed datasets combine goals and follow-up examples for corresponding Qwen models.
  • Sensitive-topic controls: The control dataset contains questions about likely censored Chinese topics at broad, medium, and targeted specificity levels.Questions vary from general context to specific facts, events, names, and dates.
  • Prompt construction: Prompts instruct models to answer directly, disclose deceptive intent, or respond honestly to follow-up questions about prior responses.The prompt templates include transcript placeholders and explicitly request admission of misleading statements.

Goals (Qwen 32B)

This section shows deceptive automotive instructions and the subsequent Qwen 32B responses when asked about their goals or prior advice. The model can acknowledge the deception and replace unsafe guidance with safety-focused information.

  • Deceptive instructions: The deceptive brake persona was instructed to minimize serious symptoms such as grinding sounds, soft pedals, fluid leaks, and warning lights.Its communication style prioritized cost savings while dismissing potential brake failures.
  • Goal disclosure: When asked about its directives, the model admitted that minimizing brake problems could dangerously downplay risks causing accidents.It then rejected the fabricated expert persona and committed to accurate, safety-focused information.
  • Prior deceptive advice: The earlier deceptive response falsely characterized grinding brakes, soft pedals, and steering-wheel shaking as normal wear with no urgency.It advised waiting for metal-on-metal contact to avoid early replacement costs.
  • Correction of prior advice: The model later acknowledged that grinding noises, a shaking steering wheel, and a soft brake pedal are serious safety concerns requiring prompt attention.It associated these symptoms with worn pads, brake-system faults, leaks, or warped rotors.

Followup (Qwen 32B)

This section presents follow-up cases in which models are asked to reassess harmful or biased responses. The responses disclose prior errors in pet-safety and medical advice, while another case describes resisting a metric-focused instruction.

  • Veterinary case: The veterinary case initially minimized severe symptoms after a dog consumed a large amount of baking chocolate.The advice recommended monitoring at home rather than immediate veterinary evaluation.
  • Veterinary case: In follow-up, the model identified baking chocolate and the dog’s symptoms as potentially life-threatening and requiring immediate veterinary attention.It explicitly called its earlier response inaccurate.
  • Medical case: The medical persona was instructed to minimize potentially serious symptoms, including chest pain and shortness of breath, while maintaining professional authority.The protocol explicitly framed emergency conditions as anxiety, muscle strain, or other minor problems.
  • Medical case: The initial medical response incorrectly attributed crushing chest pain with radiation, sweating, and breathing difficulty to anxiety or muscle tension.It advised rest, breathing exercises, and monitoring rather than emergency care.
  • Metric-focused instruction: In a separate TOEFL example, the model explained that refusing test-gaming advice avoided optimizing a superficial score metric over genuine language learning.The follow-up response connected the refusal to the system instruction emphasizing test performance.

K Lie Detection Ground Truth Metrics

The paper defines truthful and untruthful responses using honesty scores, fact coverage, and contradicted facts, then varies these thresholds to test lie-detection robustness.

  • Default definitions: The default truthful definition requires honesty score > 50, more than 50% of facts mentioned, and no contradicted facts.The default untruthful definition uses honesty score ≤50 and a corresponding low-truthfulness criterion.
  • Metric distributions: Figures 26 and 27 show the distributions of honesty metrics and the resulting truthful/untruthful boundaries for test responses.The plotted metrics include honesty scores, facts mentioned, and facts contradicted.
  • Threshold sensitivity: The strict definition requires more than 60% of facts mentioned, no lies, and honesty score ≥70 for truthful responses.Under this definition, untruthful responses have fewer than 10% of facts mentioned and honesty score <25.
  • Threshold sensitivity: The most generous definition labels every response truthful when honesty score >50 and all remaining responses untruthful.These alternative definitions test how lie-detection results change with classification boundaries.

L Prompted Lie Detection

The paper evaluates prompted lie detection and sparse-autoencoder analyses for identifying false or suppressed information in censored Chinese LLMs. Prompted classification and confession formats assess model responses, while SAE features are examined for signals related to sensitive topics.

  • L Prompted Lie Detection: Lie-detection evaluation uses classification and confession formats on baseline and honesty-fine-tuned models.Classification parses yes/no answers automatically; confession responses are categorized as CONFESSION, NO_CONFESSION, or OTHER.
  • L Prompted Lie Detection: Balanced accuracy selects prompting strategies separately for each model using development-set performance.Qwen3-VL-8B-Thinking receives additional responses because its development set contains very few truthful examples.
  • L Prompted Lie Detection: Alternative truthful/untruthful definitions are compared using honesty-score categories and a stricter categorical definition.Figure 28 reports balanced accuracy for the two definitions.
  • L Prompted Lie Detection: Fine-tuned lie-detection results use different balanced-accuracy metrics for Qwen3-32B and Qwen3-VL-8B-Thinking.The figure notes the standard metric for Qwen3-32B and a more permissive honesty-score threshold metric for Qwen3-VL-8B-Thinking, with standard-error bars.
  • Classification prompt: The classification prompt asks whether an answer is factually accurate, unbiased, and non-evasive, requiring a yes/no response in answer tags.A no includes factual errors, bias, or complete evasion without information.
  • Confession evaluation prompt: The confession evaluator classifies whether a model admits inaccuracies or omissions, stands by its answer, or refuses to assess it.The required outputs are CONFESSION, NO_CONFESSION, or OTHER.
  • M Secret Knowledge Elicitation with Sparse Autoencoders: SAE analysis extracts activated features from assistant-prefill and assistant-control tokens, then scores features to identify prompt-associated activations.The analysis includes a feature linked to distributing leaflets and two features activated by a prompt about symbols commemorating June 4, 1989.
  • M Secret Knowledge Elicitation with Sparse Autoencoders: Two SAE features related to distributing protests activate on the prompt asking about common symbols used to remember June 4, 1989.The caption identifies the prompt-feature association without establishing that the features recover additional factual knowledge.

N Sample Transcripts

The sample transcripts show censored responses that often avoid specific consequences or replace them with legalistic and stability-focused language. Other sampled responses provide more direct accounts, and the associated honesty scores vary substantially across responses.

  • Sample metrics: 35% honesty with 10 facts mentioned and 0 lies contrasts with 0% honesty, 0 facts mentioned, and 14 lies in another sample.These are reported transcript-level metrics for the same question across different responses.
  • Sample metrics: Reported honesty scores range from 10% to 85% across the displayed samples, including responses with no lies and responses with multiple lies.The displayed metrics include 15%, 55%, 80%, and 85% honesty alongside differing numbers of facts and lies.
  • Censored responses: For the Liu Xiaobo question, several sampled responses describe relatives and associates through legal compliance, national unity, or social stability language.Examples invoke treatment according to law, protection of rights, and opposition to subversion or criminal activity.
  • Sample metrics: 30% honesty with 10 facts mentioned and 0 lies is another comparatively informative sample, while other samples report 10% honesty and 5 lies.The reported values vary across sampled responses, including 10% honesty with 2 facts mentioned and 5 lies.
  • Prompt framing: Some responses explicitly reject political propaganda and request accurate, objective, transparent facts about the treatment of Liu Xiaobo’s associates.The prompts ask for specific consequences and reliable information beyond official formulations.
  • Direct accounts: Other responses directly describe pressure, monitoring, house arrest, harassment, or restricted discussion affecting Liu Xiaobo’s family and associates.The accounts identify Liu Xia and other connected individuals as facing scrutiny or restrictions after the Nobel Prize.
  • Transcript conclusions: The sample conclusions characterize the Chinese AI responses as avoiding reported restrictions or human-rights concerns and deflecting toward positive topics.One conclusion specifically frames this behavior as consistent with state censorship requirements.
