Large Language Models (LLMs) in real-world applications often face the risks of specially crafted prompts designed to bypass the safety controls. Existing guardrail methods, such as LLM-as-a-judge and cloud-based safety APIs are able to detect unsafe content.
Continual pre-training of large language models must acquire new information without erasing old knowledge. Existing replay methods often choose a global old/new mixture and sample uniformly, ignoring that examples differ in how quickly they are forgotten.
Vision encoders are a critical component of vision-language models, and scaling their capacity effectively improves performance. However, dense scaling increases compute cost and inference latency.
We introduce PTXBench, a benchmark for evaluating and adapting large language models (LLMs) to use architecture-specific PTX for GPU kernel optimization. PTXBench measures functional correctness, whether selected target instructions execute at runtime, and speedup over frontier libraries across GEMM and attention workloads on H100 and B200 GPUs.
Reliable jailbreak evaluation is essential for assessing LLM safety, but most existing studies rely solely on attack success rate (ASR) without accounting for its dependence on attack budgets, resulting in unfair comparisons across methods. Existing compute-aware evaluations reduce heterogeneous resources into FLOPs, which is difficult to estimate for black-box models and fails to capture resource-specific constraints.
