  1. Attention sees, MLP refuses: tracing the safety pathway from attention to MLP in LLMs

    Trace attention to identify harmfulness to the MLP refusal write pathway and propose Sentinel

    Published

    Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct, Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct, Qwen3-8B-Instruct and others18
    AbstractAttention updates are more readable for harmfulness, MLP updates write refusal, and Sentinel routes alerts using two-path signals.

    The authors reframe jailbreaking and excessive refusal of aligned models as a pathway problem on the residual stream from recognition to writing, and accordingly provide conditional reminders before decoding.

  2. Study: legal reasoning models citing legal provisions does not equal relying on legal provisions.

    Uses premise permutation and hidden-layer tracing to audit whether legal chain-of-thought truly relies on the cited legal provisions.

    Published
    Evaluated models
    Qwen3-8B, Qwen3-14B, Llama-3.1-8B and others7
    AbstractUsing 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.

    Abstract越狱后的同一安全反馈在八个工具智能体上分成三条路由,因果集中在最后几层并可作预测基线。

    这篇工作把越狱上下文残留之后的运行时安全反馈,做成工具智能体上的三路路由问题,并用激活修补给这个路由一个晚层的因果位点。作者认为,反馈可能恢复合法执行、留下未授权动作,或误伤良性流程,而现有攻击、基准和静态护栏没有在固定历史上把这三种结局分开。配对续写因此从同一冻结检查点分别接中性提醒 N 和安全反馈 S,并交叉保留越狱 J+ 与中和越狱 J0。

  8. 用权重谱密度预测隐私泄露:WeightWatcher 谱指标可作为成员推理攻击脆弱性的代理

    检验权重谱度量能否代理成员推断泄漏

    Published

    MLP-1×4096, MLP-2×1024, MLP-2×2048 and others11
    Abstract作者认为谱度量与泛化差距互补,有望用于无数据的模型级筛查。

    作者在 MLP 上检查 WeightWatcher 谱统计是否与 online LiRA 同向,以便不看数据、不训练 shadow 模型就做模型级成员风险筛查。放出前的审计要知道训练成员会不会被认出来。LiRA 依赖大量 shadow 模型,候选一多就难以逐个跑。

    AbstractLOCA uses a small number of activation patches along SAE directions to locally explain why a single jailbreak can bypass refusal.

    LOCA explains why a single jailbreak can bypass refusal using as few interpretable intermediate representation changes as possible.

  12. The Continuation vs. Refusal Debate: Mechanism Analysis of Continuation-Triggered Jailbreaks in Large Language Models

    Analyzing the attention head mechanism of continuation-triggered jailbreaks and proposing HCS

    Published
    Evaluated models
    LLaMA-2-7B-Chat, Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct
    AbstractThe authors state that jailbreaks arise from competition between two types of heads, and that HCS plus distillation can use this competition for inference-time intervention.

    The authors use attention head mechanism analysis for continuation-triggered jailbreaks: under the same harmful instruction, moving the continuation suffix from after the instruction to outside the prompt boundary makes the model more likely to continue generating along the suffix.
