Ecdysis: Efficient and Effective Training of Runtime Harnesses for LLM Agents
Ruiqing Yue, Yu Cui, Zhuoyu Sun +11
Self-evolving runtime harnesses can substantially improve the capabilities of large language model (LLM) agents and provide a promising paradigm for optimizing agent execution. Exi…
Agent Harness Distillation: Inference-Time Harness Extraction and Exploitation in Autonomous Multi-Agent Systems
Yu Cui, Wuli Yang, Yirui Shi +4
Autonomous multi-agent systems (AMAS) built on large language models (LLMs), such as Hermes, increasingly rely on inference-time harnesses to coordinate reasoning and action. Const…
Refusal is Not Safety! Benchmarking Latent Safety Risks of LLM-Driven Content Humorization
Yu Cui, Ruiqing Yue, Tingyu Li +6
Safety defenses for large language models (LLMs) have been extensively studied, with existing approaches focusing on attack detection and refusal mechanisms. Such fixed-form direct…
Spore: Efficient and Training-Free Privacy Extraction Attack on LLMs via Inference-Time Hybrid Probing
Yu Cui, Ruiqing Yue, Hang Fu +6
With the wide adoption of personal AI assistants such as OpenClaw, privacy leakage in user interaction contexts with large language model (LLM) agents has become a critical issue.…
Towards Provably Secure Generative AI: Reliable Consensus Sampling
Yu Cui, Hang Fu, Sicheng Pan +9
Existing research on generative AI security is primarily driven by mutually reinforcing attack and defense methodologies grounded in empirical experience. This dynamic frequently g…
Can LLMs Threaten Human Survival? Benchmarking Potential Existential Threats from LLMs via Prefix Completion
Yu Cui, Yifei Liu, Hang Fu +4
Research on the safety evaluation of large language models (LLMs) has become extensive, driven by jailbreak studies that elicit unsafe responses. Such response involves information…
VortexPIA: Indirect Prompt Injection Attack against LLMs for Efficient Extraction of User Privacy
Yu Cui, Sicheng Pan, Yifei Liu +2
Large language models (LLMs) have been widely deployed in Conversational AIs (CAIs), while exposing privacy and security threats. Recent research shows that LLM-based CAIs can be m…
Free-MAD: Consensus-Free Multi-Agent Debate
Yu Cui, Hang Fu, Haibin Zhang +2
Multi-agent debate (MAD) is an emerging approach to improving the reasoning capabilities of large language models (LLMs). Existing MAD methods rely on multiple rounds of interactio…
RRTL: Red Teaming Reasoning Large Language Models in Tool Learning
Yifei Liu, Yu Cui, Haibin Zhang
While tool learning significantly enhances the capabilities of large language models (LLMs), it also introduces substantial security risks. Prior research has revealed various vuln…
Ramp Up NTT in Record Time using GPU-Accelerated Algorithms and LLM-based Code Generation
Yu Cui, Hang Fu, Licheng Wang +1
Homomorphic encryption (HE) is a core building block in privacy-preserving machine learning (PPML), but HE is also widely known as its efficiency bottleneck. Therefore, many GPU-ac…
