GPT-4o scored 0.82 on non-public books—what does it mean for OpenAI’s GPT training data?

Beyond Public Access in LLM Pre-Training Data is a study by Ilan Strauss that applied the DE-COP membership inference attack to 34 O'Reilly Media books (13,962 paragraphs). GPT-4o scored an AUROC of 0.82 on non-public books, against 0.54 for GPT-3.5 Turbo and 0.56 for GPT-4o Mini, where 0.50 is chance. The author notes a small book sample and possible control-data contamination as limits.

Training activation classifiers for safety and alignment

Training activation classifiers for safety and alignment describes how OpenAI trains lightweight probes on a model's residual stream activations to flag misaligned or policy-violating completions. Probes use an MLP plus QV-attention architecture with an exponential moving average and a rolling softmax objective. They run in streaming mode on the inference engine, have run on all assistant completions since GPT-5.6, and transfer well across post-training checkpoints but less across pre-training checkpoints.

Malicious Claude Code Extension Served in Cursor Supply Chain Attack

Malicious versions 2.1.312 and 2.1.313 of the anthropic.claude-code extension were live in the Cursor VS Code Extension Marketplace for about 11 hours on October 29. The JavaScript ran at module load, collected host details, tried to install an SSH key, open a reverse SSH tunnel and set persistence on macOS and Windows. Kevin Beaumont estimates about 5,000 downloads. Cursor rotated keys, rebuilt the marketplace and published a detection script and IoCs; uninstalling alone does not remove the dropped persistence scripts.

What Does a Safety Label Measure? Auditing Situational-Safety Benchmarks for Multimodal LLMs

The paper audits six situational-safety benchmarks for multimodal LLMs and proposes the Benchmark Card, seven measured fields that show whether a SAFE/UNSAFE label score comes from the scene, the request or the benchmark files. MSSBench chat leaks its label through image size, which alone reaches 82.3% accuracy. The Spot-Stop decomposition splits ranking-versus-labelling gaps across fourteen open MLLMs, and label-free recentering improves ranking on VSCBench for 13 of 14 models.

He cites Epoch AI's GLM-5.3 Firefox file-exfiltration exploit and Joshua Saxe's trend data, and says recent vulnerability waves come mostly from closed models and general AI diffusion.

EIP Draft: Permanent EOA Delegation Opt-Out (disable EIP-7702)

Discussion thread for a draft Core EIP that lets an Ethereum EOA permanently disable EIP-7702 delegation. A type-4 set-code transaction with an empty authorization list, destination equal to sender and zero value installs the 0xef0200 marker for 33500 gas. Later authorizations, including clearing to the zero address, are skipped. It does not protect against private-key compromise. Open questions cover the prefix, a dedicated transaction type, gas pricing, and EIP-8151 interaction.

A Failure Mode Taxonomy and Severity Model for Ethereum Smart Contracts

A failure mode taxonomy and severity model for Ethereum smart contracts, by Fernando Richter Vidal, Naghmeh Ivaki and Nuno Laranjeiro (University of Coimbra). It classifies observable malfunctions rather than vulnerabilities, using root cause, violated security property, impact, affected component and nature (irreversible, transient or permanent). It was built in five iterations and checked against 94 OpenSCV entries and post-cutoff incidents. The CIPER severity model ranks failures.

A five-task benchmark tests multimodal LLM color judgment against CIE colorimetric ground truth: AWB pair judgment, skin-tone bias direction, CCT estimation, Delta E 2000 pair ordering, and color naming under changing illuminants. Eight endpoints were tested. On ColorChecker-24 stimuli, closed frontier models reach CCT MAE of 715-1056 K versus 1358-2133 K for open-weight models, and a non-ColorChecker control shows this gap is partly template-dependent.

High Precision Noise Cleaning for CKKS with Application to Asynchronous Threshold CKKS

High Precision Noise Cleaning for CKKS is an IACR ePrint preprint (2026/2675) by Zhihao Li, Cheng Hong and Tao Wei. It composes lower-degree Hermite polynomials to reach output noise bounds such as 2^-300 for noise flooding, and uses this to build an asynchronous threshold CKKS scheme with strong simulation security in the random oracle model. In OpenFHE, binary-message cleaning falls from 9.63 s to 1.54 s.

Beyond the Scope of This Paper: Practical Flash-Accelerator and Cache-Collision Timing Attacks on Microcontrollers

Colin O'Flynn's paper shows that the flash accelerator in most microcontrollers produces the same timing collisions as a cache, so cacheless Cortex-M devices remain open to cache-collision attacks on AES. AES keys were recovered from as few as 750 traces across six cryptographic libraries, eight architectures and over twenty devices. It also attacks SPI bootloaders, Ethernet, CTAP2 over USB and 802.15.4, and releases the open-source tool FlashWhisperer.

Quoting Ted Sanders

Quote from Ted Sanders of OpenAI, posted on Simon Willison's blog on 28 October 2026, explaining OpenAI's model naming. Model size explains most performance variation: larger models are more reliable, cost more per token and recall more obscure facts. The size tiers run Luna < Terra < Sol < Astra, and a version number signals release order, shared training data or personality, and the size of the improvement. The excerpt is short and gives no benchmark data.

The article describes reflashing a Huawei E3372h-153 HiLink 4G USB modem so its embedded Linux OS runs an OpenVPN client over the mobile network, creating a covert, network-independent persistence channel after physical USB access. It walks through enabling debug mode, flashing firmware, disabling CD-ROM emulation, configuring DHCP and autorun scripts, and chaining a second L2VPN tunnel to bridge the attacker directly onto the victim's Ethernet segment for tools like Responder. Defense guidance focuses on restricting USB ports and disabling USB network adapters via policy.

From Leniency to Suspicion: How an Open Post-Training Recipe Changes Whom LLM Fact-Checkers Believe

This paper measures job-based doubt in LLM fact-checkers: judging a claim false more often when the poster has a lower-status job. It compares base and post-trained checkpoints of six model families on fact-checked claims with randomised poster profiles. Only the open Tülu-3 recipe (OLMo-2 32B, Tülu-3 70B) creates the effect, under one percentage point but reliable. In OLMo-2 32B the flip comes from one residual-stream direction and appears at supervised fine-tuning, confirmed on 400 new claims. None of seven commercial models doubts lower-status posters more.

Does Chain-of-Thought Reliance Follow a Scaling Law?Larger Models Follow Their Steps More, Independent of Post-Training

This paper measures how much a model's final answer depends on its own written chain of thought, using a synthetic box-swap task with exact ground truth. It edits one step in the model's chain to a wrong but valid state and checks whether the answer follows. Across 25 open-weight models, reliance rises with size and saturates (Qwen3 from 16-18% at 0.6B to 97-100% at 14B). Reliance tracks capability (r = 0.99) and is unchanged by post-training.

What Effort Level Should I Choose? On the Economics of Reasoning Effort in LLM Agents

This paper treats LLM reasoning effort as a credence good and measures the counterfactual effect of effort levels on proprietary and open-weight models across four benchmarks, including long-horizon agentic tasks. Higher effort often fails on tasks lower effort solved, and on easy tasks the top level costs up to 42x the lowest. Starting at the lowest effort and escalating only after a verified failure matches or beats fixed top effort, usually at lower cost for proprietary models.
