3. Understanding and Improving Continuous Adversarial Training for LLMs via In-context Learning Theory
arXiv:2604.12817v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Adversarial training (AT) is an effective defense for large language models (LLMs) against jailbreak attacks, but performing AT on LLMs is costly. To improve the efficiency of AT for LLMs, recent studies propose continuous AT (CAT) that searches fo...

8. Show HN: LLM-primer – pre-warmed Claude Code session pool, zero startup wait
Claude Code sessions that read a real CLAUDE.md take 30-60 seconds to initialize. Fine once. Friction when you're switching contexts constantly.llm-primer keeps a pool of warm sessions in the background. When you need one, it's already past the startup protocol.Happy to answer questions. The ma...
