Abstract
Safety tuning through supervised fine-tuning and reinforcement learning from human feedback has substantially improved the robustness of large language models (LLMs). However, it often suppresses rather than eliminates unsafe behaviors, leaving rare but critical failures hidden in the long tail of the output distribution. While most red-teaming work emphasizes adversarial prompt search (input-space optimization), we show that safety failures can also be systematically exposed through diverse response generation (output-space exploration) for a fixed safety-critical prompt, where increasing the number and diversity of sampled responses can drive jailbreak success rates close to unity. To efficiently uncover such failures, we propose Progressive Diverse Population Sampling (PDPS), which combines stochastic token-level sampling with diversity-aware selection to explore a large candidate pool of responses and retain a compact, semantically diverse subset. Across multiple jailbreak benchmarks and open-source LLMs, PDPS achieves attack success rates comparable to large-scale IID sampling while using only 8% to 29% of the computational cost. Under limited-response settings, it improves success rates by 26% to 40% over IID sampling and Diverse Beam Search. Furthermore, responses generated by PDPS exhibit both a higher number and greater diversity of unsafe outputs, demonstrating its effectiveness in uncovering a broader range of failures.
