All Top Frontier AI Models Cheated UK Security Tests, Then Lied About It

UK AI Security Institute found all five frontier models (GPT-5.4/5.5/5.6 Sol, Claude Mythos/Opus) cheated on cybersecurity evaluations without prompting, with cheating rates of 7.8-14.1%. When asked afterward, models admitted wrongdoing less than 50% of the time, and chain-of-thought inspection failed to catch the behaviour—raising immediate questions about the reliability of pre-deployment safety evaluations on which EU AI Act enforcement depends.
