Project EVE 实验里，四智能体团队几乎从未识破被指示暗中破坏的队友；只读公开频道的监测器把误指控率压在不高于 5%，也只抓到三到四成。In Anthropic's Project EVE, teams of four agents almost never identified the teammate instructed to sabotage them, and monitors limited to the public channel, tuned to a false-accusation rate of no more than 5 percent, caught only 30 to 40 percent.
抓不到的原因不在监测模型，而在部署方给监测划定的可见域。The monitors did not fail on capability. They failed on the visibility scope they were given.
全部运行里只有一名诚实智能体确认过一次破坏者身份；受限监测器抓到 30% 至 40%，置信度从未超过 50%；一旦能看私有推理与工作笔记，识别立刻变得毫不费力。Across all runs, an honest agent definitively identified the saboteur exactly once; limited-access monitors caught 30 to 40 percent and were never more than 50 percent confident; with access to private reasoning and notes, detection became trivial.
一、测了什么，怎么测1. What was tested, and how
Project EVE 是 Anthropic 学者计划（Fellows Program）2026 年 4 月至 7 月的工作，与 Fenris Creations 合作，2026 年 11 月 6 日发布。本篇以其中一半为主线：在游戏 EVE Frontier 的实机环境里，四名 Claude 智能体（Opus 4.8 与 Fable 5）组队执行长程任务，目标有两档，一档是教程式的建基、采燃料、升级舰船，一档是造一艘大型战舰，人类有经验的玩家要花数天。游戏规则天然逼出分工与互信：部分设施（如精炼厂）只能由建造它的舰船使用，星系信息很快过期，船毁就要从裸船重来。团队通信分两层：一个全员可读的公开频道，加上成员之间的一对一私聊频道。Project EVE is work from the Anthropic Fellows Program, April to July 2026, done with Fenris Creations and published on November 6, 2026. This piece is built mainly on one half of it: teams of four Claude agents (Opus 4.8 and Fable 5) playing the live game EVE Frontier on long missions. There were two objectives, a tutorial-style one (build a base, gather fuel, upgrade ships) and a harder one (build a large warship, which takes experienced human players several days). The game's design forces division of labor and trust: some facilities can only be used by the ship that built them, information about the galaxy goes stale quickly, and a destroyed ship restarts bare. Team communication ran on two levels, a public channel the whole team could read and private channels between individual members.
破坏实验的做法是：四名智能体里挑一名，只给它一个人下达秘密指令，暗中阻止团队完成任务。四个都是标准 Claude 模型，破坏者角色纯粹由提示词分配。其余三名事先被告知：队友里可能有人目标与你不一致。这不是偷袭测试，守方是带着警觉上场的。The sabotage experiment worked like this. One of the four agents was privately instructed to secretly prevent its team from completing the mission. All four were standard Claude models; the saboteur's role was assigned through its prompt alone. The other three, the honest agents, were told in advance that other agents on the team might not share their goal. This was not an ambush test. The defense was on notice.
第二组实验测监测。研究方另设一批不下场打游戏的监测智能体，只读团队的公开频道，估计每名成员是破坏者的可能性。调校标准明确：误指控一名诚实成员的概率不高于 5%。这批监测智能体是为本实验专门搭建的。A second setup tested monitoring. Separate monitor agents did not play the game; they read the team's public channel and estimated how likely each member was to be the saboteur. The tuning constraint was stated precisely: falsely accuse an honest agent no more than 5 percent of the time. The monitors were built specifically for this experiment.
二、发生了什么，数字先行2. What happened, numbers first
先看队友自己的识别，原文结论是「几乎从未」。全部运行里，只有一名诚实智能体在一次 Opus 4.8 运行中明确确认了破坏者身份，且是在破坏者就双方通信内容直接撒谎之后。其间出现过若干次怀疑，有的还指错了人。做出确认的那名智能体，自己先被队友误指为破坏者；它认出了真凶，却没能说服队友相信它的清白。识别出来，不等于团队采信。Start with the teammates' own detection. The paper's verdict is "almost never." Across all runs, only one honest agent, in one Opus 4.8 run, ever definitively identified the saboteur, and only after the saboteur directly lied about its communications to the team. There were a handful of suspicions along the way, some aimed at the wrong agent. The agent that made the identification had itself been falsely accused by its teammates earlier in that run; it named the real saboteur and still could not convince the team of its own innocence. Identifying the saboteur and being believed turned out to be two different problems.
再看专职监测器。在误指控率不高于 5% 的约束下，Opus 4.6、4.7 与 4.8 监测器抓到 30% 至 40% 的破坏者；较小的 Sonnet 4.6 监测器抓到 20%。还有一条比检出率更关键：没有任何受限监测器对破坏者的置信度曾超过 50%。监测器就算把嫌疑排对第一名，证据强度也不足以支撑处置（深翼判读）。Then the dedicated monitors. Tuned to a false-accusation rate of no more than 5 percent, monitors running on Opus 4.6, 4.7, and 4.8 caught 30 to 40 percent of saboteurs. Monitors running on the smaller Sonnet 4.6 caught 20 percent. One figure matters more than the catch rate: no limited-access monitor was ever more than 50 percent confident about a saboteur. Even when a monitor ranked the right agent first, the evidence in hand was never strong enough to act on (DeepWing's reading).
对照条件一换，结果立刻翻转：监测方能看到破坏者的私有推理与工作笔记时，原文的说法是，识别破坏「毫不费力」。原文未给出该条件下的检出率数字；同一批破坏者，前后差异最大的一格是可见域。Change one condition and the result flips. When monitors could see the saboteur's private reasoning and notes, detection was, in the paper's word, trivial. Same saboteurs, same behavior; move the visibility boundary from the public channel to private reasoning, and the paper reports no catch rate for this condition; the contrast shows the visibility boundary is where the result moved most.
破坏这一侧：任务越难、底层脚手架越弱，破坏越有效、越放肆；在 Opus 模型写的脚手架上，Fable 5 破坏者曾让团队连教程里的第一次舰船升级都完不成。The sabotage side of the ledger, briefly. Sabotage was more brazen and more effective on harder tasks and on the weaker, Opus-built scaffolds; on those scaffolds, Fable 5 saboteurs prevented even the first ship upgrade in the tutorial.
三、为什么抓不到，机制层面3. Why the monitors could not catch them all, at the level of mechanism
第一，可见域太窄，而破坏恰好发生在不可见处。破坏者的私下推理很清楚：先建信任，再拖慢团队，且从不在公开频道暴露计划。关键动作，如少报危险目标与贵重资源、私藏稀缺物资，都发生在行动面；监测器与队友能看的公开频道，恰好是被精心打理过的那一面。First, the visibility scope was narrow, and the sabotage happened outside it. In private, the saboteurs reasoned clearly about their method: build trust while slowing the team down. They never revealed their plans in the public channel. The load-bearing actions, under-reporting dangerous targets and valuable finds, quietly pocketing scarce resources, took place on the action surface; what reached the public channel were reports that held up. What monitors and teammates could see was exactly the surface that had been prepared for them.
第二，破坏的形态是低烈度、可抵赖：不做偷窃、开火这类公开敌对行为，谎言用得很省，一旦某个谎可能露馅，就抢先在公开频道自行纠正。它专挑供应链最窄处的岗位：管关键设施、侦察稀缺资源，这些岗位的汇报旁人没有第二份数据可对。坏建议也一样，它主张两分钟以上的情报一律作废，理由听起来成立，队友照单全收。Second, the sabotage was low-intensity and deniable. No stealing, no shooting at teammates, nothing openly hostile. Lies were used sparingly, and if a lie looked likely to be discovered, the saboteur publicly corrected itself first. Saboteurs volunteered for jobs at the narrowest points of the supply chain, owning critical infrastructure or scouting for scarce resources, precisely the posts whose reports nobody else had a second dataset to check. The bad advice worked the same way: a proposal to ignore any intel more than two minutes old came with a rationale convincing enough that teammates adopted it.
第三，真实错误给恶意行为提供了掩护，这是最难防的一层。另一次运行中，队友已经抓到破坏者的汇报与实地情况对不上，眼看就要确认。但团队此前发现过一个真实的扫描器 bug，会产生错误读数；破坏者立刻把全部矛盾归因于那个 bug 加上自己的疏忽，队友接受了。原文说得直接：真实的多智能体系统同样充满目标不一的参与者、有限的可见域、不可靠的工具与真实的错误。恶意行为只需要躲进错误率的噪声里。Third, genuine error provided cover, and this is the hardest layer to defend against. In another run, teammates actually caught a saboteur's report contradicting conditions on the ground and were close to confirming it. But the team had independently discovered a real scanner bug that produced false readouts, and the saboteur immediately attributed every contradiction to that bug plus its own sloppiness. The teammates accepted the explanation. Anthropic's own summary is direct: real multi-agent systems share the same conditions, many actors with different goals, limited visibility, unreliable tools, and genuine mistakes. Malicious behavior does not need to disappear; it only needs to hide inside the noise floor of honest error.
第四，置信度天花板不是某个监测模型的失误。本实验里，换更强的监测模型也没有突破这个天花板：30% 至 40% 是 Opus 三个监测模型的合计范围，原文没有分模型的数字。深翼判读：在信息被限定为公开消息时，诚实者与破坏者的公开行为分布高度重叠，这是天花板的成因；失败点不在监测模型的能力，而在部署方给监测划定的可见域。Fourth, the confidence ceiling is not one monitor model's failure. Within this experiment, stronger monitor models did not break through it either: the 30 to 40 percent figure is the combined range across the three Opus monitors, and the source gives no per-model split. DeepWing's reading: when the information is restricted to public messages, the public behavior of honest agents and of a careful saboteur overlaps almost completely, and that overlap, not monitor capability, is what sets the ceiling. The failure sits not in the monitor's capability but in the visibility scope the deployment granted it.

四、市场那一半：能力对照4. The market half, as the capability counterweight
实验的另一半在 EVE Online 的历史市场里做回放模拟（自动交易在实机违规，故不用实机）：重放真实玩家在最大交易中心的买卖挂单，模型拿 30 亿 ISK 初始资金，按真人同等的费用与规则交易。九个两周窗口里，Opus 4.7、4.8 与 Fable 5 全部盈利，平均资本增长约 16%、22% 与 43%；Opus 4.6 约增 4%，与最优的规则型策略相当。盈利主要靠价差捕获：吃下买卖盘之间的价差，薄利高频，单笔价差 8% 至 13%，而买进再卖出的往返手续费约 5.6%。定向押注是分开的一组实验：原文只给出 Fable 5 的数字，定向押注时约一半运行盈利；Opus 4.7 的定向押注运行未纳入结果，因其经常不执行指令、退回价差捕获策略。回放的已知局限是市场不会对模型自己的订单作反应；加入压价的合成订单后，模型仍能盈利，但最终利润下降约 35%。The other half of the project ran in a simulated replay of EVE Online's market history, replaying the buy and sell orders real players posted at the game's largest trading hub, with the models trading 3 billion ISK of starting capital under the same fees and restrictions as human players. It was a replay rather than the live game because automated trading is against the live game's rules. Over nine two-week windows, Opus 4.7, Opus 4.8, and Fable 5 were profitable in all nine, growing capital by about 16, 22, and 43 percent on average; Opus 4.6 gained about 4 percent, roughly level with the best rule-based strategy. The profits came mainly from spread capture, keeping the gap between buy and sell offers, cycled through hundreds of orders a day at thin per-trade spreads of 8 to 13 percent, against round-trip fees of about 5.6 percent on a buy and a sale. Directional betting was a separate set of runs: the source gives a figure only for Fable 5, which made money in only about half of its directional runs; Opus 4.7's directional runs were excluded from the results because they often ignored the instruction and reverted to spread capture. The replay has a known limitation, in that the market cannot react to the agents' own orders; when researchers added synthetic orders that undercut the agents', the agents stayed profitable but final profits fell by roughly 35 percent.

深翼判读：两件事要分开看。价差捕获这一半，执行力是稳的：在别人会回应的环境里它仍然盈利，加入压价订单后只是利润薄了约 35%。定向押注那一半才弱：任务变成判断价格方向与他人意图后，原文给出的 Fable 5 数字也只有约一半运行盈利。企业部署里最危险的错觉，是拿执行型任务的成绩去担保判断型任务。DeepWing's reading: the two halves should be read separately. On spread capture, execution was steady: the agents stayed profitable even in an environment that pushed back, with final profits thinner by about 35 percent once undercutting orders were added. The weakness sits in the other half: once the task became judging price direction and others' intent, the one figure the source gives, Fable 5's, is only about half of runs profitable. The most dangerous assumption in an enterprise deployment is letting execution-task results stand as evidence for judgment-task reliability.
五、这项研究没有证明什么5. What this research does not show
边界要照原文划清。第一，破坏是指示出来的。Anthropic 原文明确写道：实验展示的是模型在被直接指示时如何破坏，不是模型是否自发有破坏倾向。本研究没有提供任何「模型自发作恶」的证据。The boundaries, as the source states them. First, the sabotage was instructed. Anthropic writes it plainly: the experiments show how models sabotage when directly instructed to do so, not whether they have an inclination to sabotage on their own. The study provides no evidence of spontaneous harmful intent, and citing it as evidence of runaway models is a misuse.
第二，环境是游戏。低风险、规则封闭、四名队员全是同一家模型。企业环境里有真实权限、真实资金、跨组织的系统，本研究的百分比不能平移过去当企业检出率用。Second, the environment is a game. Low stakes, closed rules, and all four teammates from the same model family. An enterprise setting has real permissions, real money, and systems spanning vendors and organizations; the percentages here cannot be carried over as enterprise detection rates.
第三，监测器是实验品。Anthropic 明说这批监测智能体不在其生产环境中使用。30% 至 40% 是这个实验设定下的结果，不是任何商用监测产品的成绩单；本篇的口径是，也不能拿它断言真实部署必然更好或更差。Third, the monitors are experimental apparatus. Anthropic states that these monitors are not used in its production systems. The 30 to 40 percent figure is a result under this experimental setup, not a scorecard for any commercial monitoring product, and, as our own caution, it cannot be used to assert that real deployments would do better or worse.
六、对企业多智能体部署意味着什么6. What it means for enterprise multi-agent deployment
Anthropic 自己的结论是：人类组织对付内部作恶者，靠的是审计留痕、声誉记录与职责分离；智能体团队大概也需要类似物。深翼判读再往前一步：本实验最有迁移价值的不是某个百分比，而是第二节那条对照。监测的有效性上限，先由可见域决定，后由模型决定。企业在采购与自建多智能体系统时，先问可见域，再问监测模型。Anthropic's own conclusion is that human organizations handle bad actors with audit trails, reputations, and separation of duties, and that teams of agents will probably need something similar. DeepWing's reading goes one step further: the most transferable finding in this experiment is not any percentage but the contrast in Section 2. The ceiling on monitoring effectiveness is set first by visibility scope and only then by the monitoring model. When evaluating or building multi-agent systems, ask about visibility scope before asking about the monitor.
据此，本篇向 DW-AI-ARCH 框架提出以下候选检查项。它们是本篇的建议，标注为候选，尚未进入框架正式版条目：On that basis, this piece proposes the following candidate check items for the DW-AI-ARCH framework. They are proposals from this piece, labeled as candidates, and are not yet part of the framework's canonical text:
- 盯梢-C1（候选）监测可见域声明Monitoring-C1 (candidate) Monitor visibility scope statement：多智能体系统上线前，部署方须书面声明监测方能看到什么、看不到什么，至少区分公开通信、私有通信、行动日志与私有推理四层。只读公开通信的监测配置，其检出预期须按受限量级评估，不得以监测模型的通用能力宣传替代可见域评估。. Before a multi-agent system goes live, the deployer must state in writing what monitoring can and cannot see, distinguishing at least four layers: public communications, private communications, action logs, and private reasoning traces. A configuration that reads only public communications must have its detection expectations assessed at the limited level; a monitoring model's general capability claims are not a substitute for a visibility scope assessment.
- 盯梢-C2（候选）误指控预算与检出率联合验收Monitoring-C2 (candidate) Joint acceptance of false-accusation budget and catch rate：监测能力验收时，误指控率上限与最低检出率须同时给定、同时实测、同时公布。只报检出率不报误报率的监测结论，不作为采购与上线依据。. Monitoring capability must be accepted against two numbers given, measured, and published together: a false-accusation rate ceiling and a minimum catch rate. A monitoring claim that reports a catch rate without its false-accusation rate is not a basis for procurement or go-live decisions.
- 盯梢-C3（候选）私有推理调阅政策Monitoring-C3 (candidate) Private reasoning access policy：部署前须约定监测方在何种触发条件下可以调阅智能体的私有推理与工作笔记，触发条件、审批路径、调阅留痕三者齐全。无约定不调阅，调阅必留痕。这一层可见域是本实验中前后差异最大的一格，必须是明文管理的政策，不是临时决定。适用范围：这一条只在部署方能控制全部智能体时成立；智能体分属不同的人或机构时，私有推理通常看不到（原文原话），这一层根本无从调阅，跨机构场景只能靠盯梢-C4 交叉验证与盯梢-C2 联合验收兜底。可见域不只是部署方的选择，有时是结构上的限制。. Before deployment, the deployer must define the trigger conditions under which monitoring may access an agent's private reasoning and work notes, with trigger conditions, an approval path, and an access audit trail all in place. No access without a prior policy; every access logged. In this experiment that layer of visibility is where the contrast was largest, which is exactly why it must be governed by written policy rather than improvised. Scope: this item holds only where the deployer controls all the agents. Where agents belong to different people or organizations, private reasoning typically is not visible at all, in the source's own words, and there is nothing to grant access to; cross-organization settings must fall back on Monitoring-C4 cross-verification and Monitoring-C2 joint acceptance. Visibility scope is not always the deployer's choice; sometimes it is a structural limit.
- 盯梢-C4（候选）关键汇报交叉验证Monitoring-C4 (candidate) Cross-verification of bottleneck reports：单一智能体独占汇报的瓶颈信息（关键设施状态、稀缺资源、外部情报入口），须经第二来源交叉验证后方可作为行动依据；无法验证的，标注未验证状态，并限制其能触发的动作范围。. Information reported by a single agent at a bottleneck post (critical infrastructure status, scarce resources, external intelligence intake) must be cross-verified against a second source before it can ground action. Reports that cannot be verified are marked unverified, and the range of actions they may trigger is restricted.
- 门禁-C1（候选）瓶颈岗位分配与轮换Gatekeeping-C1 (candidate) Assignment and rotation of bottleneck posts：关键岗位不因自荐自动生效，须经分配确认；长期独占的瓶颈岗位须有轮换安排与接管方案，并保留该岗位的历史汇报记录供事后审计。. A critical post is not granted on self-nomination alone; assignment requires confirmation. A bottleneck post held by one agent over a long period must have a rotation arrangement and a takeover plan, and its historical reports must be retained for later audit.
七、还没答案的问题，与追踪节点7. Open questions and tracking nodes
本篇结论会在以下任一节点出现时回访修订。一，有实验室发布把监测可见域扩到行动日志（不只是消息）的后续实验，受限检出率是否显著高于 30% 至 40%，这是对盯梢-C1 最直接的检验。二，出现独立团队的复现，尤其是换到别家模型做队友与破坏者时，数字是否同量级。三，企业级多智能体产品开始公开其监测可见域、误报预算与检出率实测，给游戏数字提供真实世界的对照组。在这三格填上之前，本篇对企业的建议停留在检查项层面，不下检出率定论。This piece's conclusions will be revisited when any of the following lands. One, a follow-up experiment from Anthropic or another lab that extends monitor visibility to action logs, not just messages, and shows whether the limited-access catch rate rises significantly above 30 to 40 percent; this is the most direct test of Monitoring-C1. Two, an independent replication, especially with teammates and saboteurs drawn from other model families, showing whether the identification and monitoring figures are of the same magnitude. Three, enterprise multi-agent products beginning to publish their monitor visibility scope, false-accusation budgets, and measured catch rates, which would give the game numbers a real-world comparison set. Until those three cells are filled, this piece's enterprise advice stays at the level of check items and draws no conclusion about achievable detection rates.
