AI agents are already going wild, but today’s red-teaming tools for them are still like toys 😢
🔥👽 After spending 20 months and $120K API credits, we are excited to finally open-source DecodingTrust-Agent Platform (DTap): the first controllable, realistic simulation platform for advanced AI agent red-teaming !!
🌍 DTap simulates 50+ real-world environments across 14 high-stakes domains, with realistic agent interfaces replicated from their official MCPs and GUIs. The environments are full-stack, interactive, fully parallelizable, and can be easily configured to reproduce arbitrary real-world attack scenarios, making agent red-teaming scalable and highly transferable to deployment settings.
🔥We also release DTap-Bench, a large-scale benchmark with ~7K agent red-teaming tasks and ~4K policy-grounded malicious goals.
Each red-teaming task includes a sophisticated attack sequence across environment-, tool-, skill-, prompt-level injections, as well as their compositions, plus a handcrafted verifiable judge that checks the actual consequences in the environment.
Using DTap-Bench, we evaluate popular agent frameworks and backbone models across diverse policies, risks, threat models, and attack strategies, revealing systematic vulnerabilities and zero-days in today’s agents!

METR 作者复盘其参与组织的 AI 生物随机对照试验（RCT），总结出五条面向证据型 AI 政策的经验。研究招募 153 名新手，随机分为 LLM 组和纯互联网组，在 8 周内完成分子生物学湿实验任务，如从基因序列重建病毒；结果显示 AI 在单个步骤上有帮助迹象，但在三项核心任务的端到端成功率上没有显著效果，这一结果出乎多数专家预料。
Nicholas Carlini 基于其 ICML 2018 最佳论文《Obfuscated Gradients Give a False Sense of Security》的演讲，整理出评估对抗样本防御的建议。他指出 ICLR 2018 接收的防御论文中超过一半结论有误、评估偏弱，核心要求是必须针对具体防御设计自适应攻击，而非只测已有攻击。具体建议包括不要只用 FGS 攻击、使用 1000 次以上迭代的迭代攻击、从随机起点搜索、做迁移性分析、使用 ZOO、SPSA、NES 和仅决策攻击等无梯度方法，以及随机搜索。
