Provably Secure Agent Guardrail

Researchers propose a new security paradigm for AI agents, introducing the executable Proof-Constrained Action (ePCA) framework. This neural symbolic isolation architecture forces agents to formalize intentions into first-order logical constraints before acting, achieving zero attack success in adversarial tests against semantic symbol decoupling attacks.

Scaling Monosemanticity: Extracting Interpretable Features from Claude 3 Sonnet

Researchers trained sparse autoencoders with up to 34 million features on Claude 3 Sonnet's middle layer, extracting interpretable features that are multilingual, multimodal, and causally influence model outputs. Features include deception, power-seeking, and bias, enabling steering of model behavior.
