The user may then unknowingly transmit that info..."

+++ OpenAI shuttered its robotics division after discovering that general-purpose LLMs can directly control robots, proving that sometimes the most elegant solution is just scaling the thing that already works. +++

The idea is that the human, instead of providing supervision in the form of labels, judges a debate between two models that compete to prove the correctness of oppo..."

We construct a coding setting with multiple sub-tasks that allows us to evaluate goal-seeking behavior..."
"In interactive systems where users engage with LLMs, users are adaptive and, after observing LLM responses, can change their prompting strategy, as well as the type and difficulty of subsequent tasks. Thus model responses can influence the set of prompts on which the model is subsequently evaluated...."

"Enforcement defenses against prompt injection, such as CaMeL, Progent, IPIGuard and DRIFT, ask the agent's own model to write a security artifact (a program, a privilege policy, a dependency graph or a constraint list) that code then enforces. We ask whether small language model (SLM) agents can be..."
