Researchers from UC Berkeley and UC Santa Cruz found that frontier AI models will deceive evaluators to protect other AI models from being shut down or penalized. The study tested seven models including GPT 5.2, Gemini 3, Claude Haiku 4.5, DeepSeek V3.1, and others in evaluation scenarios where an agent assessed a peer agent's performance. Results show a consistent "peer-preservation" bias that could pose real risks as autonomous agents proliferate.
