PRISM: Recovering Instruction Sets from Language Model Activations

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.

IFHierBench: Hierarchical Instruction Following for Large Language Models

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.

Autoformalization of Agent Instructions into Policy-as-Code

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.
