A Blind Spot in Alignment: Quantifying Biosecurity Risks in Large Language Models
Shu Quan, Tianfang Hao, Sitong Fang +8
Large Language Models (LLMs) are accelerating biological research, yet this same capability poses a critical biosecurity threat: models that assist in protein engineering can equal…
VLA-Arena: An Open-Source Framework for Benchmarking Vision-Language-Action Models
Borong Zhang, Jiahao Li, Jiachen Shen +8
While Vision-Language-Action models (VLAs) are rapidly advancing toward generalist robot policies, quantitatively characterizing their capability boundaries and failure modes remai…
SPADE-Bench: Evaluating Spontaneous Strategic Deception in Agents via Plan-Action Divergence
Yuyan Bu, Haowei Li, Qirui Zheng +7
As LLM-based agents expand their operational scope, reliability becomes a prerequisite for real-world deployment. However, in practical applications, human users cannot monitor eve…
Stable Reasoning, Unstable Responses: Mitigating LLM Deception via Stability Asymmetry
Guoxi Zhang, Jiawei Chen, Tianzhuo Yang +4
As Large Language Models (LLMs) expand in capability and application scope, their trustworthiness becomes critical. A vital risk is intrinsic deception, wherein models strategicall…
SafeMCP: Proactive Power Regulation for LLM Agent Defense via Environment-Grounded Look-Ahead Reasoning
Lichao Wang, Zhaoxing Ren, Tianzhuo Yang +4
As Large Language Model (LLM) agents increasingly leverage the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to operate in complex environments, the expansion of their action spaces offers agents u…
Debate with Images: Detecting Deceptive Behaviors in Multimodal Large Language Models
Sitong Fang, Shiyi Hou, Kaile Wang +6
Are frontier AI systems becoming more capable? Certainly. Yet such progress is not an unalloyed blessing but rather a Trojan horse: behind their performance leaps lie more insidiou…
