As language models (LMs) are increasingly adopted across domains, high-quality benchmarking frameworks are essential for guiding deployment decisions. However, frameworks such as Holistic Evaluation of Language Models (HELM) typically evaluate models under a single static prompt configuration, even though model behavio...

With the unprecedented success of Language Models (LMs), the science of Prompt Engineering has evolved the powerful idea of Prompt Programming, where prompts are treated as a programmable control surface for describing complex tasks and leveraging LM capabilities. However, existing prompt programming frameworks suffer...
Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) can listen and see, but how do audio and visual signals actually travel through the network to shape an answer? Despite their growing role in research and real-world applications, the internal pathways through which audio and visual tokens influence the final prediction remain p...

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed as autonomous agents that negotiate, coordinate, and make decisions on behalf of human users. Understanding how they cooperate is therefore important for AI governance and machine behaviour research. We examine two factors: payoff magnitude and interaction language...

This work argues that the era of Physical AI holds a second kind of equal importance, the person augmented by AI, and gives the paradigm a conceptual core, the cognitive gap between what a person could bring to a situation and what they can hold in working memory.
Direct Nash Optimization (DNO) aligns a language model to a general preference function by approximating the Nash equilibrium of a two-player preference game. Its practical variant, DNO-Prct, iterates on-policy sampling, LLM-based rating of the samples together with a teacher's gold response, large-margin preference-pa...

Undesired model behaviors can emerge or re-emerge at any stage of training. Once observed, how effectively can we suppress them? To study this question, we first construct two model organisms--language models deliberately trained to exhibit a specific misalignment--that differ in what triggers the behavior. The narrow-...

The effect of two problems in the authors' shielding items is reported, found after the runs, and the code, per-item outcomes and targeted-test responses are released.
Looped transformers are a parameter-efficient alternative to standard transformers for language modeling. By reapplying the same layers across multiple loop steps, recent looped language models match the performance of non-looped models several times their size. While this architecture effectively reduces parameter mem...
Synthetic populations, large sets of simulated people, are increasingly used in place of real people to pretest surveys, simulate users and communities, and evaluate AI systems. Each simulated person is defined by a persona, a written profile of fixed traits, demographics, and attitudes that a language model is instruc...
Fine-tuning a large language model (LLM) on harmful data in a narrow domain, such as bad medical advice, can make it broadly misaligned. How realistic this risk is remains unclear, since models are very rarely fine-tuned on explicitly harmful data in practice. In this work, we show that fine-tuning on data the model be...

Language-subspace interventions aim to improve multilingual reasoning by suppressing language-related components in mid-layer activations. Using MATH and MGSM across four open-weight LLMs, we ask three questions: do estimated language subspaces capture translation-associated variation? Does projecting them out remove l...
