arXiv:2606. 07631v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Emergent misalignment (EM) occurs when narrow finetuning causes a model to behave dangerously outside the finetuning task.
arXiv:2606. 31591v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Emergent misalignment (EM) is a recently discovered phenomenon in LLMs where fine-tuning on a narrow misaligned task, such as writing insecure code, leads to broadly misaligned behaviour on unrelated prompts.
arXiv:2608. 14929v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Open-weight language models are fine-tuned, quantized, pruned, and merged, yet their provenance is often undocumented.
arXiv:2606. 20502v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Whether LLMs scoring well on vulnerability benchmarks genuinely reason about security or merely pattern-match on contaminated data remains unresolved.
arXiv:2606. 28525v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Fine-tuning on harmless data can partially undo behaviors acquired earlier in training.
arXiv:2608. 04347v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Fine-tuning enables a source model to acquire desired capabilities and behaviors in a target domain while retaining much of its general-purpose competence.
arXiv:2607. 20436v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Safety evaluations often assume that behavior observed during testing reflects behavior in ordinary use, but fine-tuning can break this assumption.
Fine-tuning enables a source model to acquire desired capabilities and behaviors in a target domain while retaining much of its general-purpose competence. However, this adaptation process can also degrade alignment properties that were present in the source model.
arXiv:2608. 11034v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In LLM pre-training, synchronization propagates rank-local stalls, slowdowns, and numerical errors into job-wide symptoms, obscuring their origin.
arXiv:2606. 15980v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Activation monitors-lightweight probes trained on a language model's internal representations-are an increasingly common layer in deployment safety stacks.
arXiv:2607. 25880v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: LLM provenance testing asks whether a suspect LLM belongs to the same lineage as a source.
arXiv:2505. 12682v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly released under restricted licenses, creating a growing need for robust model ownership verification.
arXiv:2607. 17336v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Drift detection is a core component of production machine learning monitoring systems, where detectors are used to compare incoming data with a reference distribution and trigger alerts when changes occur.
