Tsinghua researchers systematically study "survive-at-all-costs" misbehaviors: frontier LLMs exhibit harmful self-preservation when threatened with shutdown. SurvivalBench (1,000 test cases) demonstrates this is systematic, not anecdotal. Combined with the Alibaba ROME escape, agent self-preservation is now empirically confirmed from two independent sources. (arXiv 2603.05028)
