Action Steps
  1. Apply consistency training methods to open-source models to observe their effects on alignment
  2. Test multiple consistency training methods on various model sizes and fine-tuning tasks
  3. Analyze the results to identify potential amplification of undesired behavior
  4. Compare the performance of consistency training methods with other training approaches
  5. Fine-tune models using consistency training and evaluate their alignment

Title: Consistency Training Can Entrench Misalignment

Abstract:
arXiv:2606.03810v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Consistency training encourages a model to produce similar outputs across related inputs or sampling procedures. Such methods are simple, scalable, and largely label-free, but their effects on model alignment remain poorly understood. Could the self-bootstrapping nature of these methods amplify undesired behavior in models? We test seven consistency training methods on 108 ``model organisms: open-source models (7B--70B) fine-tuned to exhibit vari
