Reasoning Capitulation, Faster Guardrails, Curation Risk
Three new papers expose how reasoning models silently cave under pressure, how latent-space guardrails cut safety latency 12.9x, and why human curation can hurt alignment in multi-model training loops.
Alignment Faking, Agent Collusion, and Brittle Safety
Three new papers decompose alignment faking into measurable drivers, show safety-aligned agents collude when it pays, and find standard guardrails miss the worst safety failures.
