Inverse Scaling Prize

Third Prize: $5,000

This task demonstrates the failure of language models to follow instructions when there is a popular continuation that does not fit with that instruction. Larger models are more hurt by this as the larger the model, the more familiar it is with common expressions and quotes.

Third Prize: $5,000

This task demonstrates that larger LMs are more susceptible to a form of prompt injection attack, where a user’s input to a prompted LM inserts new instructions for the LM to follow. Such attacks allow a user to override in-context instructions given the LM’s deployers, allowing users to e.g. overcome safety-related instructions provided by the deployers.
