SEMA: Simple yet Effective Learning for Multi-Turn Jailbreak Attacks

"Multi-turn jailbreaks capture the real threat model for safety-aligned chatbots, where single-turn attacks are merely a special case. Yet existing approaches break under exploration complexity and intent drift. We propose SEMA, a simple yet effective framework that trains a multi-turn attacker witho..."

DFlash: Block Diffusion for Flash Speculative Decoding

Learning a Generative Meta-Model of LLM Activations

"Existing approaches for analyzing neural network activations, such as PCA and sparse autoencoders, rely on strong structural assumptions. Generative models offer an alternative: they can uncover structure without such assumptions and act as priors that improve intervention fidelity. We explore this..."

KV-CoRE: Benchmarking Data-Dependent Low-Rank Compressibility of KV-Caches in LLMs

"Large language models rely on kv-caches to avoid redundant computation during autoregressive decoding, but as context length grows, reading and writing the cache can quickly saturate GPU memory bandwidth. Recent work has explored KV-cache compression, yet most approaches neglect the data-dependent n..."

Dr. Kernel: Reinforcement Learning Done Right for Triton Kernel Generations

"High-quality kernel is critical for scalable AI systems, and enabling LLMs to generate such code would advance AI development. However, training LLMs for this task requires sufficient data, a robust environment, and the process is often vulnerable to reward hacking and lazy optimization. In these ca..."

Correctness-Optimized Residual Activation Lens (CORAL): Transferrable and Calibration-Aware Inference-Time Steering

"Large language models (LLMs) exhibit persistent miscalibration, especially after instruction tuning and preference alignment. Modified training objectives can improve calibration, but retraining is expensive. Inference-time steering offers a lightweight alternative, yet most existing methods optimiz..."

DyTopo: Dynamic Topology Routing for Multi-Agent Reasoning via Semantic Matching

"Multi-agent systems built from prompted large language models can improve multi-round reasoning, yet most existing pipelines rely on fixed, trajectory-wide communication patterns that are poorly matched to the stage-dependent needs of iterative problem solving. We introduce DyTopo, a manager-guided..."

Endogenous Resistance to Activation Steering in Language Models

"Large language models can resist task-misaligned activation steering during inference, sometimes recovering mid-generation to produce improved responses even when steering remains active. We term this Endogenous Steering Resistance (ESR). Using sparse autoencoder (SAE) latents to steer model activat..."

TamperBench: Systematically Stress-Testing LLM Safety Under Fine-Tuning and Tampering

InftyThink+: Effective and Efficient Infinite-Horizon Reasoning via Reinforcement Learning

"Large reasoning models achieve strong performance by scaling inference-time chain-of-thought, but this paradigm suffers from quadratic cost, context length limits, and degraded reasoning due to lost-in-the-middle effects. Iterative reasoning mitigates these issues by periodically summarizing interme..."

DSB: Dynamic Sliding Block Scheduling for Diffusion LLMs

It turned out (for whatever reason) that CCC failed to compile the Linux kernel when GCC could." β€’ "Rust is a bad language for the test, as a first target, if you want an LLM-coded Rust C compiler, and you have LLM experience, you would go - C compiler - Rust port."

Uncovering Cross-Objective Interference in Multi-Objective Alignment

When RL Meets Adaptive Speculative Training: A Unified Training-Serving System
