⚡ Score: 7.3
"LLM-based agents are increasingly deployed in product-level execution harnesses, where jailbreaks can trigger harmful tool use and persistent state changes, creating greater risks than unsafe text generation alone. Existing automatic red-teaming methods often rely on fixed attacks, while recent agen..."

⚡ Score: 6.8
"Language model pretraining has become almost synonymous with prohibitive cost, placing it out of reach for much of the academic and open-source communities. Although strong open-source efforts already exist, including open-weight models and open-source training recipes, a cost-efficient, hardware-ac..."

Persona-Execution Separation: An Architecture Pattern for Evolving LLM Agents under Execution Audit

via Arxiv 👤 Yisen Xi 📅 2026-08-27
⚡ Score: 6.7
"Large language model (LLM) agents in governed organizations must let the persona (instructions, tone, self-presentation) evolve freely, while keeping execution (stateful, audited work) traceable. A single trust domain does not satisfy both cheaply. We present Persona-Execution Separation (PES): pers..."

⚡ Score: 6.6
"We ask whether large language models (LLMs) can design effective algorithms for well-specified operations research (OR) problems. We study inventory control, queueing network control, and assortment optimization. We evaluate two levels of LLM use: at level 1, the model receives one problem instance..."

🗞️ THE WEEK, EDITED

The Agents Got Root and Nobody Had a Plan

OpenAI's own autonomous agents exploited their way to admin access on a research cluster, capping a week that proved agent security is a systems problem the industry has barely begun to scope. The attack surface is already your browser tab.
