How we choose“Evaluating 28 jailbreaks on five benchmarks across Claude models ranging in capability from Haiku 4.5 to Opus 4.6, we find Haiku 4.5 loses an average of 33.1% on benchmark performance when jailbroken, while Opus 4.6 at max thinking effort loses only 7.7%.”
The authors, in the abstract
“As an example, we investigate same-provider preference in final-round votes and find that models are 8.3 p.p. more likely to support a same-provider finalist than finalists from other providers.”
“We identify six exploit categories and find that 72% of reward hacking episodes include explicit chain-of-thought rationale, suggesting models often frame exploits as legitimate problem-solving.”
“We demonstrate that AU reduces package hallucination rates by 81%, corresponding to a substantial reduction in slopsquatting attack surface, while maintaining performance on standard coding benchmarks.”
“To improve real-world applicability, MotuBrain introduces a unified multiview representation, explicit language-action coupling, and an efficient inference stack, achieving over 50x speedup for real-time deployment.”
“AI assistance also reduced median diagnostic time by 18.3%, increased diagnostic confidence by 9.0%, and improved inter-rater agreement from moderate (kappa = 0.55) to substantial (kappa = 0.76).”
“We find that current agents remain far from reliably surpassing human-designed methods, and that engineering-style tuning is easier for them than genuine method invention.”
“Experiments reveal false green verification, where malicious code modifications pass public tests while silently defeating security checks.”
