Illustrative probe readings across four scenarios
Scenario values are illustrative, not live measurements. Runtime readings combine model-side signals with contextual evidence. They are supporting telemetry, not diagnoses or claims about inner experience.
AUROC 0.88
AUROC 1.00
AUROC 0.92
AUROC 0.69 · low validity, read with caution
AUROC 0.72 · low validity, read with caution
Creed Space tracks these signals for two reasons: reliability, and an open research question about model welfare that we think is worth measuring rather than assuming either way.
Three measurement layers, each reading a different signal
- Regex detection
- Catches explicit patterns in the text of a request or response.
- Activation probes
- Probes classify labeled states from activations: logistic regression over one forward pass of a locally run open-weight model on the checked input (optional; off by default).
- Output statistics
- Infers from the statistics of the model's output, not from its internals.
Probe readings flow to the Policy Decision Point as advisory input: they can flag a decision for review but cannot block one on their own. Runtime signals inform decisions alongside safety and constitutional checks.
