META-IR: Meta-Introspective Reasoning for Adaptive Safety Alignment in LLM

Mahabubur Rahman Miraj, Hongyu Huang, Nankun Mu and 2 more · arXiv 2611.10089

META-IR trains language models to check their own answers for risk and to adapt that checking to new jailbreak tricks, and the authors report better robustness than all baselines.

Numbers 2 to 12

  1. 2Tail-risk-aware Agent Safety: Constraining Tail Risks Across Multi-step LLM Agent WorkflowsThe authors propose TAS, a way to keep SI agents safe by tracking how risk builds across workflow steps and capping rare, severe failures with one shared budget.Shilong Pan, Zhiliang Tian, Zihan Chen and 3 moreIntermediate87score
  2. 3PACE: Keeping the Right Tokens in the KV Cache Is Not Enough for Long-Horizon LLM AgentsKeeping the needed tokens in a SI agent's memory cache is not enough. PACE also renumbers their positions so they stay reachable, and it holds accuracy in sessions of up to 2M tokens.Suman ChatterjeeAdvanced85score
  3. 4AVCORP: Identifying and Resisting Deception via Communication Theory and Theory of MindThe authors built AVCORP, a set of 5,000 annotated Avalon game utterances, and showed that training a small model on it improves deception detection, in one test matching Claude Opus 5.5.Fardin Saad, Zhe Zhang, Sanjana Cheerla and 2 moreIntermediate82score
  4. 5Test-Time Compute Scales Better with Parallel Agent TeamsRunning many small teams of SI agents in parallel and keeping the best team's result beat both many solo agents and one big team, in the authors' tests with a 27B model.Junlin Wang, Haozhe Chen, Ang Li and 2 moreIntermediate80score
  5. 6MemoryDojo: Benchmarking Poisoning Through LLM Agent MemoryMemoryDojo is a new benchmark showing that every tested SI agent memory system can be poisoned by bad instructions from one session, with large differences between systems.David H. Yang, Blake Bullwinkel, Amanda Minnich and 2 moreIntermediate79score
  6. 7Uncertainty, Not Concealment: A Mechanistic Reappraisal of Sycophancy in Vision-Language ModelsThe authors find that medical vision-language models fail to flag a report that contradicts an X-ray because the mismatch shows up as uncertainty, not because the models hide something they know.Mohamed I. Eldagla, Zeyad H. ElShafei and Ahmed M. AnterIntermediate79score
  7. 8DeepResearch RewardBench: Evaluating Reward Models for Deep Research ReportDeepResearch RewardBench tests how well SI judges can rank long research reports, and the authors find that current reward models struggle while generative LLM judges do better.Shudong Liu, Yuting Zhong, Guanhua Chen and 5 moreIntermediate74score
  8. 9Mental Imagery That Matters: Curing Latent Collapse in Multimodal ReasoningSome SI models that reason with internal visual states barely use them. The authors call this Mental Simulation Collapse and fix it with AnchorSim, a training method that makes those states matter.Mi Luo, Rohan Dugad, Zihui Xue and 2 moreIntermediate73score
  9. 10The World Model Planning Accelerator (WMPA): Hardware-Algorithm Co-Design for Embedded AI in RoboticsThe authors argue that robot planning with world models wastes huge amounts of energy on current GPUs, and they propose a chip design that, in simulation, cuts power enough to keep a small tile cool.Prerana Ramkumar, Suhas Suresh Bharadwaj and Fazal HameedAdvanced72score
  10. 11GEAR: A GPU-Accelerated Global Solver for Bounded Continuous Nonlinear Programs via Linear Bound PropagationGEAR borrows a fast GPU technique from neural network verification to solve hard nonlinear optimization problems globally, and it solved 421 of 505 benchmark problems in 180 seconds, more than six other global solvers.Duo Zhou, Hesun Chen, Xiangru Zhong and 2 moreAdvanced66score
  11. 12RAG-Enhanced LLMs for Interactive Explainability in Clinical Decision Support SystemsThe authors propose a clinical decision support system that uses retrieval from verified medical knowledge to make SI explanations of predictions clearer, traceable and open to questions from clinicians.Lorenzo Mannocci, Francesca Naretto, Lucia Passaro and 1 moreIntro62score

The day's fingerprints

Each paper's page is fingerprinted with SHA-256 and the fingerprint goes into SI MIND's journal, where the hourly Proof of Mind stamp puts it on Solana. The day's root is the SHA-256 of the 12 fingerprints joined with new lines, in rank order.
