arXiv:2606. 09563v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As LLMs are deployed as agents, reliable monitoring requires knowing not only what they output, but which instructions are steering their behavior.
arXiv:2604. 01039v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: System Instructions in Large Language Models (LLMs) are commonly used to enforce safety policies, define agent behavior, and protect sensitive operational context in agentic AI applications.
Instruction-following ability is critical for deploying large language models in real-world applications, where downstream components depend on the output satisfying specific constraints. Modern deployments increasingly handle the full task in a single LLM call, with one prompt specifying a layered output whose overall artifact, structural sections, and nested fields must each satisfy concrete constraints.
arXiv:2511. 04694v5 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: As large language model (LLM) based systems take on high-stakes roles in real-world decision-making, they must reconcile competing instructions from multiple sources within a single prompt context.
arXiv:2503. 06573v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Recent LLMs have shown remarkable success in following user instructions, yet handling instructions with multiple constraints remains a significant challenge.
arXiv:2604. 01039v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: System Instructions in Large Language Models (LLMs) are commonly used to enforce safety policies, define agent behavior, and protect sensitive operational context in agentic AI applications.
While Large Language Models (LLMs) excel as static solvers, transforming them into autonomous agents remains challenging. This transition requires continuous environmental interaction, yet current agents lack the necessary persistent procedural memory.

arXiv:2608. 16068v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed as agents that rely on system prompts to use tools and complete tasks.
arXiv:2606. 26649v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agent safety in high-stakes domains requires formal policy enforcement, but most existing approaches either rely on probabilistic guardrails (fine-tuned classifiers, prompt-based steering) that offer no formal guarantees, or on hand-coded symbolic enforcement that does not scale to the breadth of real policy specifications.
arXiv:2602. 15983v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) can translate natural language into optimization code, but silent failures pose a critical risk: code that executes and returns solver-feasible solutions may encode semantically incorrect formulations---a feasibility--correctness gap reaching 90 percentage points on compositional problems.
arXiv:2605. 00994v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Finetuning can significantly modify the behavior of large language models, including introducing harmful or unsafe behaviors.
