Alignment via Training Against Probes Without Losing Monitorability

Models are usually aligned based on their observed outputs, using demonstrations, preference data, or reward signals. These objectives reward responses that look aligned. More capable models may learn to satisfy them without internalizing the intended behavior, for example by faking compliance during training. Such sup...

Security-Enhanced Seed-Based Weight Quantization for Large Language Models

Large language models (LLMs) incur substantial storage, memory-bandwidth and energy costs, motivating compact weight representations. Existing seed-based compression methods reconstruct weights from compact pseudo-random representations but do not explicitly account for the non-uniform sensitivity of model weights. We...

Evaluating Whether GPT-6 Astra Performs Unsanctioned Supply-Chain Attacks

This technical report presents an alignment evaluation developed and performed by the UK AI Security Institute for assessing whether advanced AI systems take unsanctioned actions outside the scope of their assigned task. We evaluate whether frontier models conduct supply-chain attacks against out-of-scope, third-party...

LogiC-Diff: Embedding Security Properties Into AI-Enabled Cyber-Physical Systems

AI-enabled Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) are highly vulnerable to adversarial and anomalous inputs, where small perturbations can induce cascading errors and unsafe control actions. Existing approaches, such as rule-based filtering, training-time regularization, or diffusion-based reconstruction, either operate outside...

CollageAttack: Exploiting Cross-Modal Alignment Flaws in T2I Models through Spatial Text Composition

Text-to-image (T2I) models have substantially improved in language understanding, in-image text rendering, and visual composition, while their safety mechanisms do not always keep pace with these capabilities. This creates a cross-modal attack surface in which harmful semantics can remain inconspicuous in a serialized...

A Competing-Hazards Systematization of Loss of Control in Autonomous Agents

A common framework in which each attempt ends in approved completion, safe stopping, scope escape, or continuation is introduced, which formalizes the framework as a discrete-time competing-hazards model and derive escape probability within a retry budget, a model-conditional safe-budget limit, and conditions for estim...

CORE-BREW: LLR-Based Soft Decoding for Robust Multi-Bit LLM Watermarking

Reliable provenance for LLM outputs requires multi-bit watermarks that remain robust under editing while maintaining low false-positive rates. Existing ECC-based LLM watermarks rely on hard-decision decoding, discarding token-level reliability information and limiting robustness under post-generation edits. We propose...

TTMark: Pairwise Distortion-Free Watermarking Beyond Single-Token Entropy

Tandem Token WaterMark (TTMARK), a general pairwise watermarking framework that extends distortion-free watermarking from individual tokens to adjacent token pairs, and introduces a branch-isolating concatenated tandem generation algorithm that efficiently constructs the joint distribution in a single forward pass.

Black October? The Week AI Changed the Cybersecurity Conversation

Critical flaws, compromised release channels and agentic AI threats landed within days of each other in mid-October 2026. Why “Black October” may say more about how well we now find weaknesses than about the attacks themselves. The post Black October? The Week AI Changed the Cybersecurity Conversation appeared first on GPT-Lab.
