Is Astra's claimed alignment improvement robust to it's lower monitorability? Fable helped me look through the model card to make an educated guess.
I think it probably is - you'd need fairly pessimistic choices to make it worse. However, it might be more likely to engage in misbehaviour that is not caught by monitors, so while it's probably more trustworthy when unmonitored, it might not be if it's deployed together with monitors.
Authorship: I asked Claude a bunch of questions, made suggestions and quibbled about what it wrote until I reached diminishing returns. I made only a slight effort to improve the prose.
