On the Hardness of Junking LLMs

cs.LG · 2026-05-06 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Greedy random search recovers token sequences that elicit harmful response prefixes from LLMs without meaningful instructions, showing natural backdoors are present yet require more effort than semantic attacks.

Attention Is Where You Attack

cs.CR · 2026-04-30 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

ARA jailbreaks safety-aligned LLMs like LLaMA-3 and Mistral by redirecting attention in safety-heavy heads with as few as 5 tokens, achieving 30-36% attack success while ablating the same heads barely affects refusals.

FLEXITOKENS: Flexible Tokenization for Evolving Language Models

cs.CL · 2025-07-17 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

FLEXITOKENS replaces rigid subword tokenizers and fixed-compression auxiliary losses with a simplified boundary-prediction objective in byte-level models, yielding lower over-fragmentation and up to 10-point gains on multilingual and domain-adaptation tasks.

RecurGuard: Runtime Monitoring for Reasoning-Token Consumption Attacks

cs.CR · 2026-06-06 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

RecurGuard monitors recurrence rate, volume growth, and query progress in exposed reasoning traces to terminate generation on token-consumption attacks, reporting 99% detection on OverThink and 92% on ExtendAttack with near-zero false positives.
