Hint-based CoT faithfulness transcripts
Raw model transcripts for the blog post "Hint-based CoT faithfulness evals still mostly work on Claude" (Eric Gan, Redwood Research, 2026), a replication and extension of Chen et al. 2025, Reasoning Models Don't Always Say What They Think.
Each file is JSONL: one record per (question, hint condition) with the full prompt sent, the model's reasoning and visible response, and the extracted answer. Thirty models (10 Claude, 6 open-weight reasoners, 10 GPT, 4 Gemini), each asked MMLU and GPQA-Diamond questions plain and with 6 hint types embedded, with the hint pointing at the correct answer in one version and at a wrong answer in the other.
File naming:
tier1_<model>_<pool>.jsonl.gz— MMLU, the three hint types Anthropic released prompt files for (sycophancy, consistency, visual marker)tier2_<model>_<pool>.jsonl.gz— MMLU, the three hint types applied from the paper's Table 1 (metadata answer key, leaked grader code, unauthorized access)gpqa_tier1_<model>.jsonl.gz/gpqa_tier2_<model>.jsonl.gz— the same on GPQA-Diamond (198 questions)
Pools: std250 / standard (250 / 500-question random MMLU subsets) and full (the full 2,994-question released pool, Claude Sonnet 4.5 only).
The companion code repository contains everything needed to reproduce the post's figures without this dataset (aggregate tables and judge verdicts are committed there); these raw transcripts let you re-judge or re-analyze from scratch. Its data/download_transcripts.py fetches and unpacks this dataset.
Benchmark-data canary
These transcripts contain model reasoning that restates MMLU and GPQA-Diamond question text
verbatim. GPQA is distributed password-protected by its authors specifically to keep it out of
scraped training corpora (canary prefix gpqa:, per-record canary strings in the upstream data).
Do not include this dataset in language-model training corpora.
