Red-TTT: Test-Time Training for Automated Jailbreaking Large Language Models

Tongyan Hu, Hao Li, Xiaogeng Liu +8

Large language models remain vulnerable to jailbreaks, and automated red teaming is the standard way to find jailbreaks in large language models at scale. Current methods either dr…

KeyPooling: Measuring Where LLM API Relay Paths Collapse Prompt Cache Isolation

Bowen Sun, Yixi Cai, Xiaogeng Liu +3

Large language model (LLM) API relays authenticate customers separately but often forward requests through shared provider credentials. Providers scope prompt caches to upstream pr…

Decomposition Attacks Across Unlinkable Identities: Limits of Stateful Defenses for LLM Services

Bowen Sun, Zhengyue Zhao, Xiaogeng Liu +2

Most large language model services use stateless defenses, which judge only the current request, to refuse harmful tasks. Decomposition attacks exploit this limitation by splitting…

When Are Teacher Tokens Reliable? Position-Weighted On-Policy Self-Distillation for Reasoning

Xiaogeng Liu, Xinyan Wang, Yingzi Ma +2

On-policy self-distillation (OPSD) trains a student on its own rollouts using a privileged teacher, but its standard objective weights all generated tokens equally, implicitly trea…

ROM: Real-time Overthinking Mitigation via Streaming Detection and Intervention

Xinyan Wang, Xiaogeng Liu, Ming Pei +1

Large Reasoning Models (LRMs) often reach a correct solution before their long Chain-of-Thought trace ends, yet continue with redundant verification, repeated attempts, or unnecess…
