2. Market Signal Injection: Adversarial Context Manipulation of LLM Pricing Agents
arXiv:2609.18357v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language model (LLM) pricing agents may respond to how market data is presented, even when its numerical values remain unchanged. We introduce market signal injection (MSI), an attack that manipulates numerical formatting, competitor ordering...

3. Dataset-Dependent Effects of Cross-Depth Aggregation and Soft-Routed Experts in EEG Foundation Model Fine-Tuning
arXiv:2609.17886v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: EEG decoding tasks can rely on different temporal dynamics and cross-channel relationships. We test whether specialized modules improve a fully fine-tuned EEG foundation model by augmenting CBraMod with cross-depth Attention Residuals (AttnRes) and...

8. Inside the suddenly explosive world of AI safety
On a sunny July day in Berkeley, California, the country's top AI safety researchers gathered on an unmarked floor of an unmarked building. They had come together for a "war room" to dissect the high-profile cybersecurity incident that had rocked the AI industry hours earlier. An unreleased OpenA...
