Use Diverse Oversight Models

A strong system should be evaluated by multiple weaker models trained with different data, architectures, and incentives, plus humans on sampled cases. Disagreement becomes a search signal for hidden error or deception, reducing the chance that one evaluator shares the target model’s blind spot.

Why this idea is here

What the evidence establishes.

Debate improves weak-to-strong results in experiments; partitioned supervision offers another scalable-oversight mechanism with different failure modes.
