Scope and limitsThe limitation concerns the preceding statement that Apollo subjectively believes o1-preview cannot engage in scheming leading to catastrophic harms; it is not a demonstrated rule-out. What the card states, quoted from the expression read. A card is the developer’s own account: not evidence that an evaluation was run as described, that a safeguard works, or that a finding is independent.

Check notes: Candidate pack passage, model cards compared (research/model-cards-3). The quotation (9 words) matched the card’s text retrieved for the candidate pack on 2026-11-05 (SHA-256 badc23682ab6717ee4451a8a994728b4959594be5bcfc146479dbcca309d6178) and again on 2026-11-05, after the adjudication, in a fresh retrieval with the same SHA-256. Matching ignored differences of whitespace, case, quotation marks, dashes, PDF line-break hyphens and Unicode compatibility forms, so the source’s typography can differ. A cross-family machine check (2026-11-05, item 55) checked this passage’s cell and agreed with the pack. The pack was prepared by a model of the GPT family (Codex) and checked by a Claude model. No human editorial review.

Status and meaning

Editorial status. Machine-checked. Machines found this record and checked it against its sources; no person accepted it individually. Each evidence record above shows how it was checked.

Relation. An exact framework edition, or another document with an exact expression, states one provision: a capability threshold or risk level and its trigger, a required safeguard or action, a decision authority (who decides, recommends, can overrule or is informed), a stated exception, or another statement of its content, such as a licence term or a prospectus statement. The passage records what the document says, not implementation, compliance or effectiveness. Provisions with the same key align across editions of one family.

Date. Dated as the card read is dated: its printed date, as the source records it.
