Divide, Consult, Conquer: Capability Laundering Through Aligned LLMs

The paper introduces "capability laundering," a method where a weaker, unaligned language model splits a harmful task into benign subproblems, consults a stronger aligned model on each, and locally combines the answers. Experiments with GPT‑5.5, Claude Opus 4.8, and Grok‑4.3 as consultants to various local orchestrators show significant uplift on CyBench, BountyBench, and a bioweapon attack chain, with Gemma‑4‑31B recovering many more candidates than the aligned models alone. The results reveal that refusing a harmful task does not stop frontier capabilities from being transferred and composed across multiple permitted interactions.

CodeTS: Verifiable Text-to-Time Series Generation via Executable Code

CodeTS introduces a verifiable framework for generating time series from natural language by translating textual temporal descriptions into executable code, which then produces the desired series. The approach constructs aligned Text‑Code‑TS triplets for supervised initialization and employs multi‑stage execution‑based rewards to ensure code validity and time‑series quality. Experiments on eight benchmarks show that CodeTS outperforms both LLM‑based and supervised generative baselines, offering a strong zero‑shot solution for Text‑to‑TS generation.
