"
As part of this, we reviewed how well we adhered to the framework and identified a small number of instances where we fell short of meeting the full letter of its requirements. These areas were: Our most recent evaluations were completed 3 days later than the 3-month interval... Some of our evaluations lacked some basic elicitation techniques such as best-of-N or chain-of-thought prompting... Our evaluations in one domain were not explicitly designed to establish the 6x scaling buffer mentioned in the previous policy.
