Feature Elicitation for SAE Steering of Deceptive Behaviour in Small LLMs
arXiv:2610.20638v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Research on deceptive alignment is becoming increasingly urgent as frontier-model capabilities advance and their risk of causing catastrophic harm increases. Alignment faking is a form of deceptive alignment, with the compliance gap serving as a key b...
Same Answer, New Box: How Much of RLVR's Out-of-Domain Gain Is Answer Format?
arXiv:2610.20639v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) is credited with gains beyond the domain its rewards check, such as higher MMLU accuracy after training on mathematics. Such accuracies are usually read out of the model's text by an answer extract...
KNOU-Flood: Advancing global streamflow forecasting with lead-aware probabilistic machine learning
arXiv:2610.20640v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Global streamflow forecasting supports flood preparedness, yet data-driven models trained on reanalysis lose skill when driven by operational forecasts, increasingly so with lead time. AIFL addresses this shift with a two-stage transfer-learning recip...
The World Won't Wait: Evaluating and Teaching Agents Under a Live Clock
arXiv:2610.20665v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Large language model (LLM) agents can solve complex interactive tasks, yet reasoning and tool calls take time. In continuously changing environments, an otherwise correct action may arrive too late. We introduce RealtimeBench, with 180 tasks across si...
Evaluating Model Capabilities After Benchmark Saturation
arXiv:2610.20667v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Rapid advances in AI capabilities are causing benchmarks to saturate. Once several models approach perfect scores, a benchmark loses its power to differentiate between them, and with it its utility for informing AI safety cases and frontier policies. ...
Value-Informed Schedule Trimming for Accelerated Sequential Monte Carlo Guidance in Discrete Diffusion
arXiv:2610.20669v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Reward-guided discrete diffusion enables test-time alignment with downstream objectives, but applying Sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) guidance at every denoising step is computationally expensive. Active guidance steps require additional reward evaluatio...
AlphaDiana: A Measurement System for Agents in Verifiable Reasoning Tasks
arXiv:2610.20675v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Agents pair reasoning models with harnesses that organize model calls, execute tools, load skill instructions, and retain history in memory. Understanding agent performance requires linking execution conditions to outcomes, behavior, and resource use....
