Beyond Scale: The Diversity Coefficient as a Data Quality Metric for Variability in Natural Language Data

Brando Miranda, Alycia Lee, Sudharsan Sundar +4

Current trends in pre-training Large Language Models (LLMs) primarily focus on the scaling of model and dataset size. While the quality of pre-training data is considered an import…

Best-of-N Jailbreaking

John Hughes, Sara Price, Aengus Lynch +7

We introduce Best-of-N (BoN) Jailbreaking, a simple black-box algorithm that jailbreaks frontier AI systems across modalities. BoN Jailbreaking works by repeatedly sampling variati…

Failures to Find Transferable Image Jailbreaks Between Vision-Language Models

Rylan Schaeffer, Dan Valentine, Luke Bailey +12

The integration of new modalities into frontier AI systems offers exciting capabilities, but also increases the possibility such systems can be adversarially manipulated in undesir…
