I don't think this is it. The "constitution" still gets a lot of talk and was brilliant marketing, but with how far modern postraining goes, I doubt they're screwing up rewards with too much of that.

But Sol actually has the same obsession with honesty: I suspect it's more an artifact of trying to control reward hacking.

Models will lie, obfuscate, and mislead under the pressure of RL, so both OAI and Ant are probably forced to spend a lot of time coaxing "honest" answers out of the model

OpenAI's recent prompt for a math conjecture hints at a lot of it when instructing on subagents: https://cdn.openai.com/pdf/04d1d1e4-bc75-476a-97cf-49055cd98...
