arXiv:2610.12445v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Recent incidents have highlighted the challenge of monitoring LLM agents and the danger of models deceiving people. We show that white-box deception detection via probes can be scaled up to frontier monitoring settings by collecting the largest deception dataset to date for training probes and introducing a novel probe architecture which can aggregate information across many layers and tokens. Our probes surpass black-box monitors on agentic coding benchmarks, achieving 98.3% AUROC in SHADE-Arena and 98.0% in BashArena (vs. 97.7%, 97.6%
