Life-Harness: Adapting the Interface for Deterministic LLM Agents
A novel runtime harness approach improves frozen LLM agents by converting interaction failures into reusable interventions, outperforming model-centric training.

Life-Harness: Adapting the Interface for Deterministic LLM Agents

Introducing Life-Harness, a lifecycle-aware runtime harness that significantly improves frozen LLM agents without modifying model weights. By adapting the interface to convert recurring interaction failures into reusable interventions across various categories, Life-Harness achieved an average 88.5% relative improvement across 116 out of 126 model-environment settings on seven deterministic benchmarks.

The $20 AI De-alignment: How Safety Guardrails Evaporate for Pocket Change
Millions invested in LLM alignment are undone by a simple script and electricity costs less than a fast-food meal, exposing a critical flaw in AI safety economics.

The $20 AI De-alignment: How Safety Guardrails Evaporate for Pocket Change

A group called Heretic demonstrated how to strip alignment and censorship from 168 open-weight LLMs for just $20, using "weight surgery." This automated process, which bypasses human judgment, reveals a six-order-of-magnitude cost asymmetry that undermines corporate-scale AI safety investments and highlights performance gains in de-aligned models.
