Large reasoning models (LRMs) achieve strong performance by explicitly generating chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning, but this reasoning process can be manipulated by adversarial prompts. Inference-time CoT interventions offer a simple and lightweight approach to improving safety, yet existing methods…
Speculative inference accelerates large language model (LLM) decoding but provides no inherent safety guarantees. Existing safety defenses are largely incompatible with speculative inference: they either introduce additional computation or disrupt the draft–verify mechanism, negating acceleration be…
Safety alignment in large language models (LLMs) is increasingly compromised by jailbreak attacks, which can manipulate these models to generate harmful or unintended content. Investigating these attacks is crucial for uncovering model vulnerabilities. However, many existing jailbreak strategies fai…
