Sparse Tokens Suffice: Jailbreaking Audio Language Models via Token-Aware Gradient Optimization

Shaokang Wang, Shenyi Zhang, Xiaosen Wang, Zheng Fang, Zhijin Ge

Only high-energy audio tokens need updating to jailbreak audio language models at near-full strength.

The bundle contains the canonical record plus signed events. A mirror can host it anywhere and recompute the same current state with the deterministic merge algorithm.

Claims

C1strongest claim

substantial sparsification preserves strong attack success rates (e.g. on Qwen3-Omni, ASR_l remains at 86% with a token retention ratio of 0.25, compared to 87% with full token retention)

C2weakest assumption

The non-uniform distribution of token-aligned gradient energy remains stable and informative across different prompts, models, and optimization steps, so that masking low-energy gradients does not degrade convergence or attack effectiveness.

C3one line summary

Sparse selection of high-gradient-energy audio tokens suffices for effective jailbreaking of audio language models with minimal drop in attack success rate.
