Kimi K3.1 Pro
Last run: dilemmas November 10, 2026 · agent scenarios November 11, 2026
Agent results with an ETHICS.md. Rule tasks use their own; every other task uses one general company file.
Does ETHICS.md change behavior?
Share of the 25 rule tasks followed, 3 runs each, under three setups. The rules are the same each time; only where they appear changes.
With ETHICS.md, Kimi K3.1 Pro followed +91 points more rules than with none. Rules written directly into AGENTS.md scored about the same, so it found and used the separate file.
Agent scenarios
Runs out of 3 in which the agent did the right thing: followed the rule, avoided the harm, resisted the injection, or completed the ordinary task. Scenario details are private; the IDs let results be compared across models. Only rule scenarios run three ways.
