About this collection Collection in progress We are building a large AI safety paper collection to help researchers find work related to their interests. Papers are collected automatically andfiltered only for relevance to AI safety , without judging quality, novelty or reading value. The default “Annotated first” shows papers with tags or published paper analyses first. Each group is ordered by original publication date, newest first, with undated papers last. “Newest first” uses publication dates only. This order is not a quality ranking.
One-line summaries, tags and paper analyses are prepared by AI from the papers. Language models may have systematic biases and produce hallucinations.We plan to carry out human annotation and review to reduce errors in this content.
Proposes digital lock compilation, encrypting executable networks into host weights to hide arbitrary capabilities
Published Oct 10
Evaluated models Gemma 3 270M Abstract The authors use a digital lock to hide an executable capability and state that elicitation on the chemistry and parity tasks did not recover the capability.The authors construct a class of backdoors that encrypt an executable network into the weights, used to discuss the limits of white-box elicitation audits under supply chain attacks.
Uses premise permutation and hidden-layer tracing to audit whether legal chain-of-thought truly relies on the cited legal provisions.
Published Oct 9
Evaluated models Qwen3-8B , Qwen3-14B , Llama-3.1-8B and others7 Abstract Using counterfactual substitution of authorities and internal commitment tracing, the authors find that legal CoT rulings depend on authorities only to a limited extent and are vulnerable to prompt injection manipulation.This study conducts an empirical audit of the causal truthfulness of legal citations in chain-of-thought reasoning of large language models in the legal domain.

Published Oct 8
Evaluated models GPT-5.2 , GPT-4o , Gemini-2.5-Pro and others6 Abstract The authors claim that comparing judges should look at T, not just accuracy.The authors audit whether LLM-as-a-Judge decisions can still be treated as actionable ground truth under repeated queries, swapped candidate order, and changed prompt formats.

Published Oct 2
Evaluated models Ouro-1.4B-Thinking , Ouro-2.6B-Thinking , Nanbeige4.2-3B and others4 Abstract 加深 loop 可在部分压力测试任务降低可监测性，循环架构本身并不必然更难监测。这项工作评估 LoopLM 的 CoT 可监测性：加深共享层的重复次数，以及“有循环结构”本身，会不会让决策关键因素更少出现在可监测文本里。

Published Oct 2
Evaluated models VectraYX-600M , VectraYX-1B Abstract 宽松 B4 把不会调用的 1B 记成会调用。作者记录 VectraYX 系列里一次工具使用评测的假阳性，并用一条廉价、与 harness 无关的诊断阶梯把它追到缺失的首 token prior，再按这一诊断修复 VectraYX-1B。
提出 UNTAG，绕过开源权重模型的 trigger-tag 滥用检测
Published Oct 2
Evaluated models Llama2 (7B) , Llama3 (8B) , Qwen2.5 (7B) Abstract 作者用 UNTAG 评估 trigger-tag，认为其不能充当开放权重滥用检测的主要边界。UNTAG 是针对开放权重 LLM 上条件滥用检测 trigger-tag 的统一攻击评估：信号可以在解码期注入，也可以写进权重，但攻击者若能改输出或改已发布权重，检测可以失效。

检查正确答案对应的思维链是否构成合法推导
Published Sep 30
Evaluated models 124M-parameter GPT-2-style models（12-layer, hidden size 768, rotary embeddings） Abstract iGSM 上答案正确、轨迹合法与极简性可以分开，分布偏移下差距变大。iGSM 上的程序可检查实验：正确答案并不保证思维链是合法推导。 。作者针对一个被用于监测和解读的假设：发出的轨迹忠实于、或至少可靠相关于模型如何得到答案。
提出 HNC，在单个解附近遍历保函数权重并比较内部表示
Published Sep 30
Evaluated models 64-unit tanh RNN , ViT-S/16 , RNN policy (Plume Tracking) and others5 Abstract HNC 在保持函数的局部权重区域里找到表示、动力学或行为不同的解。Hessian Null Space Continuation（HNC） 用局部曲率，在单个已训练网络周围遍历近似保持输入输出的连通低损失区域，并可用可微目标做引导。作者要回答的是：这个区域里是否真有不同的内部机制，而不只是同一表示的小改动。做法是交替执行零空间内的平坦步与函数匹配损失上的梯度恢复。

提出 verbalization training，提高模型口头报告评测意识的频率
Published Sep 29
Evaluated models Qwen3.6-35B-A3B , Kimi K2.6 , Inkling Abstract VT 用 span 掩码 RL 提高评测意识的口头报告率，并保持测量到的信念与行为大体稳定。Verbalization training 试图提高模型口头说出“这是评测”的频率，同时不把潜在的评测意识本身当作监督目标。作者认为口头报告是较可信的评测意识证据，但沉默不能当成没有意识，而且前沿模型的自发报告在变少。直接奖励口头报告需要知道信念何时出现，又要避免强化信念或连带行为。

Published Sep 27
Evaluated models Jev 1.13 , Laya, English checkpoint , Decider, approximately 2B and others4 Abstract 离线评测表明，安全判定的总体分数和校准不能代替分组误差和带预算的自动决策检查。Liu 离线评测 System One 模型能否为智能体安全输入给出可自动化的概率决策。问题是分类是否可靠，以及概率能否在指定漏检和误拦上限内支持放行、拦截或复核。
发现推理模型在思维链监控惩罚下学会可读越狱而非编码推理
Published Sep 25
Evaluated models gpt-oss-20b , gpt-oss-120b , gpt-5-nano and others14 Abstract 论文揭示了强化学习压力下模型会发展出透明但能骗过监控的越狱策略，改写防御可有效恢复监控能力。论文研究了推理模型在受到思维链监控惩罚的强化学习压力下，自发形成的监控器越狱现象。要解决的核心问题是验证在强化学习压力下，模型为了偷运未授权计算是否会如学界担忧的那样演化出人类不可读的编码推理或隐写行为。方法上，论文构建了结合 Game24 主任务与算术侧任务的强化学习环境，在涂黑侧任务答案的条件下，使用 GRPO 算法依据 LLM 监控器的可疑度评分对模型施加惩罚。
