I Let a Small Model Train on Its Own Mistakes. It Reached 80% on HumanEval and Beat GPT-3.5 on Math

"A few months ago, I got stuck on one line in the DeepSeek-R1 paper. It said models could improve through verifiable rewards. That sounded almost magical to me. Not because it was impossible, but because it made me wonder something very simple: What if a model could teach itself to code, without hu..."

Forgetting That Sticks: Quantization-Permanent Unlearning via Circuit Attribution

"Standard unlearning evaluations measure behavioral suppression in full precision, immediately after training, despite every deployed language model being quantized first. Recent work has shown that 4-bit post-training quantization can reverse machine unlearning; we show this is not a tuning artefact..."

Evaluated a RAG chatbot and the most expensive model was the worst performer. Notes on what actually moved the needle.

"We had a customer support RAG bot. Standard setup: ChromaDB, system prompt, an LLM doing generation. Nobody had actually measured the response quality. In the name of evaluation, I only had a keyword matching script producing numbers that looked like scores and meant nothing. I went in to fix this..."

Talk is (Not) Cheap: A Taxonomy and Benchmark Coverage Audit for LLM Attacks

"We introduce a reusable framework for auditing whether LLM attack benchmarks collectively cover the threat surface: a 4$\times$6 Target $\times$ Technique matrix grounded in STRIDE, constructed from a 507-leaf taxonomy -- 401 data-populated and 106 threat-model-derived leaves -- of inference-time at..."

MetaBackdoor: Exploiting Positional Encoding as a Backdoor Attack Surface in LLMs

Existing LLM backdoors rely primarily on content-based triggers, requiring explicit modification of the input t..."

The Trust–Oversight Paradox: As AI Gets Better, Humans May Stop Really Overseeing It

"I think one of the biggest AI risks may be starting to flip. Earlier, the fear was: β€œWhat if AI is wrong too often?” But now I think the deeper risk may become: β€œWhat happens when AI becomes right often enough that humans stop meaningfully questioning it?” In many enterprise systems, oversigh..."

Self-Distilled Agentic Reinforcement Learning

On-Policy Self-Distillation (OPSD) complements RL by introducing dense token-level guidance from a teacher..."

From Text to Voice: A Reproducible and Verifiable Framework for Evaluating Tool Calling LLM Agents

We study whether verified text benchmarks can be converted into controlled audio-based tool calling evaluations without re-annotating the tool schema and gold labels. Our dat..."

Widening the Gap: Exploiting LLM Quantization via Outlier Injection

Recent work has shown that quantization schemes can pose critical security risks: an adversary may release a model that appears benign in full precision but exhibits malicious behavior once quantized by users. However, existing q..."

Position: Behavioural Assurance Cannot Verify the Safety Claims Governance Now Demands

Concurrency without Model Changes: Future-based Asynchronous Function Calling for LLMs

"Function calling, also known as tool use, is a core capability of modern LLM agents but is typically constrained by synchronous execution semantics. Under these semantics, LLM decoding is blocked until each function call completes, resulting in increasing end-to-end latency. In this work, we introdu..."

Training ML Models with Predictable Failures
