Benchmarks Are Surprisingly Compaction-Friendly

Jeanne Salle, Hardik Bhatnagar, Matthias Bethge +2

Long horizon agentic tasks are now pushing LLM agents past their context window. To continue the task, the agent scaffold has to free up the context window, a process known as cont…

AgentTime: Can Agents Estimate and Control Their Own Runtime?

Michael Ofengenden, Maksym Andriushchenko

An essential control of AI agents is their ability to manage runtime. This ability requires a sense of time-awareness, to predict and estimate wall-clock time and to control their…

LLM Agents Can Easily Tamper With Their Own Traces

Jeremy Qin, David Schmotz, Derck Prinzhorn +3

Asynchronous monitoring, incident investigations, and compliance audits primarily rely on agent traces to reconstruct what happened. These analyses assume that LLM agents cannot ta…

Instrumental Monitor Evasion Emerges Under Ordinary Task Pressure

David Schmotz, Derck Prinzhorn, Luca Beurer-Kellner +3

A central concern in AI safety is that agents may treat oversight as an obstacle when it conflicts with completing their goals. We study instrumental evasion, the propensity of LLM…

ResearchArena: Evaluating Sabotage and Monitoring in Automated AI R&D

Lena Libon, Ben Rank, Jehyeok Yeon +5

As AI agents begin to automate AI R&D, we need ways to assess whether their outputs are safe to deploy, even when the agents themselves may be untrusted. AI control offers one such…

InferenceBench: A Benchmark for Open-Ended LLM Inference Optimization by AI Agents

Jehyeok Yeon, Ben Rank, Maksym Andriushchenko

AI agents are increasingly used to automate research and development tasks, yet existing benchmarks typically evaluate them on prescribed workflows or narrow action spaces. Even no…

Decomposing and Measuring Evaluation Awareness

Changling Li, Terry Jingchen Zhang, Jie Zhang +4

Frontier language models sometimes recognize that they are under evaluation and adjust their behavior which can undermine validity of benchmark results. Yet the field studies it wi…

FutureSim: Replaying World Events to Evaluate Adaptive Agents

Shashwat Goel, Nikhil Chandak, Arvindh Arun +5

AI agents are being increasingly deployed in dynamic, open-ended environments that require adapting to new information as it arrives. To efficiently measure this capability for rea…

Europe and the Geopolitics of AGI: The Need for a Preparedness Plan

Maximilian Negele, Daan Juijn, Afek Shamir +8

Artificial general intelligence (AGI)--defined here as AI systems that match or exceed humans at most economically useful cognitive work--has moved from speculation to the centre o…

Instrumental Choices: Measuring the Propensity of LLM Agents to Pursue Instrumental Behaviors

Jonas Wiedermann-Möller, Leonard Dung, Maksym Andriushchenko

AI systems have become increasingly capable of dangerous behaviours in many domains. This raises the question: Do models sometimes choose to violate human instructions in order to…

Characterizing the Consistency of the Emergent Misalignment Persona

Anietta Weckauff, Yuchen Zhang, Maksym Andriushchenko

Fine-tuning large language models (LLMs) on narrowly misaligned data generalizes to broadly misaligned behavior, a phenomenon termed emergent misalignment (EM). While prior work ha…

QuantSightBench: Evaluating LLM Quantitative Forecasting with Prediction Intervals

Jeremy Qin, Maksym Andriushchenko

Forecasting has become a natural benchmark for reasoning under uncertainty. Yet existing evaluations of large language models remain limited to judgmental tasks in simple formats,…

PostTrainBench: Can LLM Agents Automate LLM Post-Training?

Ben Rank, Hardik Bhatnagar, Ameya Prabhu +4

AI agents have become surprisingly proficient at software engineering over the past year, largely due to improvements in reasoning capabilities. This raises a deeper question: can…

Claudini: Autoresearch Discovers State-of-the-Art Adversarial Attack Algorithms for LLMs

Alexander Panfilov, Peter Romov, Igor Shilov +3

We show that AI agents are capable of discovering novel algorithms for adversarial attacks against LLMs, advancing the state of the art on white-box jailbreaking and prompt injecti…

Skill-Inject: Measuring Agent Vulnerability to Skill File Attacks

David Schmotz, Luca Beurer-Kellner, Sahar Abdelnabi +1

LLM agents are evolving rapidly, powered by code execution, tools, and the recently introduced agent skills feature. Skills allow users to extend LLM applications with specialized…

Helpful to a Fault: Measuring Illicit Assistance in Multi-Turn, Multilingual LLM Agents

Nivya Talokar, Ayush K Tarun, Murari Mandal +2

LLM-based agents execute real-world workflows via tools and memory. These affordances enable ill-intended adversaries to also use these agents to carry out complex misuse scenarios…

HalluHard: A Hard Multi-Turn Hallucination Benchmark

Dongyang Fan, Sebastien Delsad, Nicolas Flammarion +1

Large language models (LLMs) still produce plausible-sounding but ungrounded factual claims, a problem that worsens in multi-turn dialogue as context grows and early errors cascade…
