arXiv:2506.09557v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: While Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) demonstrate impressive performance in benign scenarios, their cognitive reliability deteriorates significantly in complex scenes under adverse conditions. In these settings, models often rely on implicit inference without sufficient visual evidence, leadi

arXiv:2508.20766v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Safety alignment in Large Language Models (LLMs) often involves mediating internal representations to refuse harmful requests. Recent research has demonstrated that these safety mechanisms can be bypassed by ablating or removing specific representational directions within the model. In this paper, we

arXiv:2509.21054v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Understanding persuasion is critical for the safety and reliability of multi-agent systems built on large language models (LLMs). This paper studies persuasion dynamics by contrasting general LLMs with Large Reasoning Models (LRMs) that employ explicit ``thinking'' processes. Through large-scale experiments

How do you benchmark a web search API when the thing being tested can read the answer key? A search agent has a fetch tool. If the gold labels sit in a public dataset, the agent can download them mid-evaluation and skip retrieval entirely. A similar problem arises when the answers are already encoded in […] The post Keenable AI Open-Sources NEEDLE: A Live

Google Cloud AI Research, with Washington University in St. Louis and UNC Chapel Hill, has released EnvHarness, an Apache-2.0 layer that turns a static agent benchmark into one that adapts to the policy training on it. It wraps a frozen environment through the standard reset()/step() interface, so tasks and human-built verifiers stay untouched — and an LLM

<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>After following various arXiv papers and researcher discussions on X/bluesky about latent reasoning and continual learning, one idea which resonates strongly is that path forward (towards AGI) may depend less on generating ever-longer chains of thought and more on finding architectures that can reason beyond the token stream

Quantitative research agents that write their own experiments can corrupt the evidence they later learn from. A leaky feature that scores well gets stored as a successful precedent and propagated through later iterations. Prompt-level instructions and reviewer agents do not close this, because author and reviewer share the same blind spots. A team of researc
