Jailbroken Frontier Models Retain Their Capabilities

Daniel Zhu, Zihan Wang, Xuchan Bao +1

As language model safeguards become more robust, attackers are pushed toward developing increasingly complex jailbreaks. Prior work has found that this complexity imposes a "jailbr…

Segment-Level Coherence for Robust Harmful Intent Probing in LLMs

Xuanli He, Bilgehan Sel, Faizan Ali +3

Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly exposed to adaptive jailbreaking, particularly in high-stakes Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) domains. Although…

Better and Worse with Scale: How Contextual Entrainment Diverges with Model Size

Dikshant Kukreja, Kshitij Sah, Gautam Gupta +5

Larger language models become simultaneously better and worse at handling contextual information -- better at ignoring false claims, worse at ignoring irrelevant tokens. We formali…

Trojan-Speak: Bypassing Constitutional Classifiers with No Jailbreak Tax via Adversarial Finetuning

Bilgehan Sel, Xuanli He, Alwin Peng +2

Fine-tuning APIs offered by major AI providers create new attack surfaces where adversaries can bypass safety measures through targeted fine-tuning. We introduce Trojan-Speak, an a…

Non-robustness of diffusion estimates on networks with measurement error

Arun G. Chandrasekhar, Paul Goldsmith-Pinkham, Tyler H. McCormick +2

Network diffusion models are used to study disease transmission, information spread, technology adoption, and other socio-economic processes. We show that estimates of these diffus…

Constitutional Classifiers++: Efficient Production-Grade Defenses against Universal Jailbreaks

Hoagy Cunningham, Jerry Wei, Zihan Wang +26

We introduce enhanced Constitutional Classifiers that deliver production-grade jailbreak robustness with dramatically reduced computational costs and refusal rates compared to prev…
