Social interaction is central to children's language learning, but the effects of different forms of caregiver feedback are difficult to isolate in naturalistic data. We use child-like language models as controlled learners to test which forms of feedback sup…

Aligned language models fail under two independent pressures: the structural jailbreak class recently formalized as Involuntary In-Context Learning (IICL), which reframes a harmful request as the final missing cell of a data-labeling task completed by pattern…

Automatic safety judges -- systems such as Llama Guard or a GPT-4o grading prompt that decide whether a model's reply is harmful -- produce the numbers behind almost every reported jailbreak success rate, defense evaluation, and safety leaderboard. We ask whe…

The software supply chain has become an increasingly exposed attack surface because of its reliance on intricate yet fragile dependencies. Existing defenses such as GitHub Dependabot often raise many false alerts because their coarse-grained matching cannot d…

It seems to me that, for every loss function that we use to train LLMs, we get a very distinct flavor of LLM misalignment. Here’s the summary table, and then we’ll go through the rows separately. Training stage Loss function Flavor of misalignment [1] Famous…

Meet GPT-5.6-Cyber, OpenAI’s cybersecurity-specific model available through Daybreak Red for authorized vulnerability research, exploit validation, and security testing.
TL;DR How can we study misalignment with today's models as proxies? They're clearly not paperclip maximizers, but they also often do things the user doesn't want. A strong contender for a real misaligned propensity is task gaming: taking actions that don't co…
