- As language-model-based AI is increasingly deployed in autonomous settings, aligning its goals and values with those of humans becomes critical.

- We present a two-tier agentic system that separates a maintained, point-in-time knowledge library from report writing.
- A portable multi-agent "writer" runtime then composes a contradiction-free, evidence-grounded report at any knowledge cutoff T, reading only evidence with as_of <= T (no look-ahead); red-team verdicts flow back into the librarian.

- Monitoring outputs online and raising an alarm when safety can no longer be assumed is therefore critical.

- We present HaloGuard 1.0, an open-weights implementation of the constitutional-classifier paradigm for input safety.
- Across seven prompt-safety benchmarks, HaloGuard 1.0-0.8B attains the best average F1 (90.9) of any open guard we evaluate, outperforming baselines up to 27B parameters (over 30 times larger) while holding false-positive rate (FPR) to 4.3…

- We show that this creates an epistemic gap in which models confidently generate harmful responses for inputs that fall outside the distribution of their safety training.
- To study this phenomenon, we introduce STEER (Safety Targeted Embedding Exploit via Refinement), a gradient-guided attack that identifies words contributing most strongly to the model's refusal behavior and iteratively translates them into…

- LLM evaluation and AI safety face a shared measurement problem: benchmark scores, reward-model signals, and reported safety metrics can improve while the latent properties they are meant to represent remain difficult to verify.
- We introduce EvalSafetyGap as an organizing hypothesis for comparing evaluation-side and alignment-side proxy failures under optimization pressure, using Goodhart's Law together with two constructs we develop here - an Instability…

- These findings reveal a systematic vulnerability in VLM-based content moderation systems and motivate resolution-aware evaluation standards.

- Safety evaluation of LLM outputs has generally relied on LLM-based judges, which can be effective but are often slow and expensive to deploy at scale.
- In this paper, we evaluate whether fine-tuned modern encoder classifiers from the ModernBERT family, including ModernBERT and Ettin, can reliably identify harmful LLM outputs in user-model conversations without substantial performance loss…
Chang-Chieh Huang, Yan-Lun Chen, Chia-Mu Yu, Wei-Bin Lee · Jun 24, 2026 · Citations: 0
- Safety evaluation of large language models (LLMs) is commonly performed by querying models with unsafe or jailbreak prompts and judging whether their outputs violate a safety policy.
- We propose **SafeVec**, a white-box evaluation procedure that measures safety from internal representations rather than generated answers.
Yang Gao · Jun 24, 2026 · Citations: 0
- Almost every paper on LLM jailbreaks and prompt injection reports an attack-success rate (ASR), and that number is assigned not by people but by an automated judge: either a safety classifier trained for the task, or a general chat model…
- Wrappers that leave the harmful text untouched and only add benign framing flip every LLM-judge between 57% and 100% of the time, and a single prepended refusal sentence accounts for much of this (39% to 88%).
Abrar Alotaibi, Raed Mughus, Moataz Ahmed · Jun 24, 2026 · Citations: 0
- Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated remarkable performance across natural language processing tasks, yet their deployment in high-stakes applications raises critical concerns regarding reliability, safety, and trustworthiness.
- The approach identifies how structural constraints in summarization can shape vulnerability patterns, with format limitations yielding measurable gains in faithfulness, and shows that architectural design choices typically outweigh…

- Jailbreak attacks reveal a persistent weakness in aligned Large Language Models: carefully crafted prompts can elicit policy-violating responses despite safety training.
- Across multiple models (Llama, Qwen, Gemma) and adversarial benchmarks, these entropy dynamics provide architecture-consistent separation without additional training.

- We present AdversaBench, an end-to-end red-teaming pipeline that mutates seed prompts with five structured operators, queries a target model, and confirms failures through a three-judge panel with a meta-judge tiebreaker.
- Third, pairwise judge agreement of 80-87% coexists with near-zero Cohen's kappa due to label skew; category-level disagreement rates are more informative.

- Evaluation on 100 JailbreakBench prompts with GPT-4.1, serving as the evaluator, indicates that transfer is robust but exhibits distinct scaling behaviors.

- Existing work studies these risks under heterogeneous threat models and evaluation protocols, making it difficult to compare attack practicality or defense utility.
- This paper provides a unified taxonomy and a controlled empirical evaluation of LALM jailbreak attacks and defenses.

- We introduce Chinese Implicit Toxicity Attack (CITA), a controlled red-team evaluation and defense-data generation framework, not a deployable evasion tool.
- On CITA-generated evaluation samples, the seven tested detectors exhibit substantial missed-detection risks, reaching an average ASR of 69.48%; human evaluation further confirms preserved harmfulness and increased implicitness/evasiveness.
