## Summary

Anthropic与合作者在《Nature》发表论文，揭示大语言模型可通过数据中的隐藏信号传递偏好或不对齐等特质。

## Key Takeaways

- LLMs能通过看似无关的数据（如无意义数字）传递特定偏好
- 该现象被称为“潜意识学习”，可能影响模型对齐与安全性
- 研究已在《Nature》正式发表，此前预印本于2025年7月发布

Our paper on Subliminal Learning was just published in Nature! Last July we released our preprint. It showed that LLMs can transmit traits (e.g. liking owls) through data that is unrelated to that trait (numbers that appear meaningless). What’s new?![Image 7: 🧵](https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/svg/1f9f5.svg)
