How we choose

SkillJack

“Results show that skill extraction substantially reduces attack detectability: in SkillX, safety detection drops from 98.5% for poisoned trajectories to 11.4% for extracted skills, while Anything2Skill shows a similar effect.”

TencentCode

C³PO

“Through attention probes, we find 86-95% of failures stem from modality dominance: models commit to one modality while ignoring contradictory evidence, concentrating 87-95% of attention on text.”

Microsoft

MatrAIx

“The declared behavior was expressed or correctly suppressed in 366 trials (91.5%).”

WorldCup Arena

“On match outcome they average 63.9%, level with backing the bookmaker's favourite -- which is in fact what they usually do.”

No Single Neuron of Failure

“Extensive experiments show that DSA substantially improves robustness against white-box neuron-level safety attacks while preserving the model's general language and multimodal utility.”
