Meet GPT-Red: an LLM super-hacker OpenAI built to make its models safer

OpenAI has built an LLM super-hacker called GPT-Red that it uses as a sparring partner to help its other models boost their defenses against cyberattacks. Last week the company released the latest version of its flagship LLM, GPT-5.6. OpenAI says that training it against GPT-Red made the model its most robust release yet. GPT-Red automates…

Faithful, Not Corrective: Message-Format Effects in Multi-Hop Agent Relays Are Tier-Dependent

arXiv:2607.09678v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: When LLM agents hand off information to one another, does the message format matter? Two literatures disagree: format-optimization work reports that structured messages cut cost without hurting accuracy, while format-restriction work finds that imposing structure degrades generation -- and neither measures what happens when a message traverses multiple hops, where copy fidelity, not one-shot generation, dominates. We introduce a controlled relay testbed: briefs of twelve programmatically generated atomic facts are re-encoded hop-by-hop in five formats (free NL, precision-instructed NL, JSON, triples, key-value) over six hops, scored by a fixed strong grader against programmatic ground truth, across two relay-capability tiers, a cognitive-load condition, and a paired-fork error injection. We find that message-format effects are tier-dependent. (i) Under faithful-relay instructions a strong relay is nearly lossless -- the documented "telephone-game" collapse does not occur -- and adding per-hop cognitive load leaves format-level fidelity unchanged (within +/-1.8 points) while raising generation cost by 24-53%. (ii) Under a weak (1.5B) r

Boltzmann MapReduce: A Partition-Function Reduce for Forkable Sandboxes

arXiv:2607.09689v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: To leading order under local asymptotic normality (LAN), the confidence density a worker emits over a chunk of size $n$ is a Gibbs--Boltzmann measure $\exp\{-\beta E(\theta)\}$ whose inverse temperature is the sample size, $\beta=n$. Three consequences are exact in the Gaussian/linear case and first-order otherwise: disjoint chunks carry independent Boltzmann factors, so the MapReduce \emph{reduce}, read literally, is a partition function $Z=\int\prod_k h_k\,d\theta$ whose mode is precision-weighted (inverse-variance) pooling; frequentist consistency is the zero-temperature limit $T=1/n\to0$
