Optimizing AI Agent Attacks With Synthetic Data

"As AI deployments become more complex and high-stakes, it becomes increasingly important to be able to estimate their risk. AI control is one framework for doing so. However, good control evaluations require eliciting strong attack policies. This can be challenging in complex agentic environments wh..."

Continuous Autoregressive Language Models (CALM)

+++ Tencent and Tsinghua's CALM replaces discrete token prediction with continuous vectors, achieving 99.9% reconstruction accuracy. It's either the future of LLM efficiency or a clever repackaging of compression techniques. The arxiv crowd will decide. +++

Instead of predicting one token at a time, CALM (Continuous Autoregressive Language Models) predicts continuous vectors that represent multiple tokens at once
