two practical gaps for extreme low-bit LLMsβwhethe..."
"The attack doesnβt come from your users.
It comes from your agentβs environment, the emails it reads, the webpages it visits, the documents it retrieves, the database rows it queries.
Every piece of external content your agent processes is a potential instruction source. And your agent has no way ..."

"Crescendo (Russinovich et al., USENIX Security 2025) is a multi-turn jailbreak designed specifically to evade output-based monitors. Each individual turn looks completely innocent. The attack only exists across turns.

When models are deployed as agents, the safety-relevant object shifts from what the system says to what it does within an e..."

"Large language models (LLMs) exhibit systematic political bias across a variety of sensitive contexts. We find that LLMs handle counterpart topics from opposing political sides asymmetrically.

+++ One developer's PDF stress test reveals that "just upload it" vision models and boring old OCR have tradeoffs worth understanding, which is either obvious or news depending on your stack. +++

"Autonomous agentic systems are largely static after deployment: they do not learn from user interactions, and recurring failures persist until the next human-driven update ships a fix. Self-evolving agents have emerged in response, but all confine evolution to text-mutable artifacts -- skill files,..."
"After a few months running long projects with AI agents (some spanning weeks, with multiple specialist agents touching the same files), I kept hitting the same failure mode. The specialists were fine at their narrow task. What broke down was project memory. Decisions made in week 1 were lost by week..."
