Show you can turn a fuzzy model-behavior question into a rigorous, falsifiable experiment
Interview prep for OpenAI's CoT Monitorability researcher role, which studies whether chain-of-thought reasoning in frontier models stays legible enough to support scalable oversight. This is empirical ML research, not just theory — expect deep dives on experiment design, evaluation-building, and how training interventions (pretraining, RL, post-training) affect monitorability. Strong candidates demonstrate hands-on LLM training/evaluation experience and can reason precisely about what evidence would or wouldn't support a monitorability claim.

常见提问方向
Walk me through an experiment you ran to test a model-behavior hypothesis, start to finish
How would you measure whether a chain-of-thought monitor reliably predicts misbehavior?
What could make CoT monitoring stop working as models scale, and how would you detect it early
Describe a time your experimental results were noisy or subtle — how did you decide what to conclude
How would training directly against a CoT monitor change what the monitor can tell you?
Tell me about hands-on work training or evaluating a large ML model
