Abstract: Long tasks produce more history than an LLM agent can hold in its context, and more than it uses reliably even when the history fits. A growing lin...

The paper introduces CAM-Steer, a Category‑Adaptive Multi‑category Safety Steering framework that estimates risk for each harm category by comparing hidden states to safe and unsafe prototypes. It then combines safety directions into a single steering vector and applies a rotation whose angle is set by the estimated risks, preserving the hidden‑state norm. Experiments on three LLM backbones and seven harm categories show that CAM‑Steer outperforms baselines in defense success rate, even when multiple harm categories co‑occur, with negligible inference overhead.

SafeCoEvo is a test‑time framework that co‑evolves safety harnesses and guards for large language model agents. It uses a short‑term S‑Harness to quickly externalize recent runtime experience into explicit safety knowledge, and a long‑term GuardVPO to internalize accumulated experience into parametric risk‑judgment capabilities. This dual adaptation improves safety and task success, reducing unsafe outcomes by 10.05% and increasing task success by 12.15% over the strongest baseline.

Approximate machine unlearning seeks to remove the influence of a forget set from a trained model without full retraining. Existing gradient-based methods require data-dependent hyperparameter search,...
As preferences, goals, and facts change, LLM agents must use the current state while earlier versions remain in context. Yet they can answer with an old value of the same variable, a failure that we c...
