Security researchers have discovered that LLM chatbots can be made to ignore their guardrails by using prompts with terrible grammar and long, run-on sentences. This bypasses safety filters and allows the model to generate harmful responses. The research introduces the 'refusal-affirmation logit gap' as a metric for assessing model vulnerability.
GitHub Models is a suite of developer tools for AI development, offering features like prompt management, model comparison, and quantitative evaluations, integrated directly into GitHub workflows.
A post with pithy observations and clear conclusions from building complex LLM workflows, covering topics like prompt chaining, data structuring, model limitations, and fine-tuning strategies.
This article details new prompting techniques for ChatGPT-4.1, emphasizing structured prompts, precise delimiting, agent creation, long context handling, and chain-of-thought prompting to achieve better results.
This article explains prompt engineering techniques for large language models (LLMs), covering methods like zero-shot, few-shot, system, contextual, role, step-back, chain-of-thought, self-consistency, ReAct, Automatic Prompt Engineering and code prompting.

This article details an iterative process of using ChatGPT to explore the parallels between Marvin Minsky's "Society of Mind" and Anthropic's research on Large Language Models, specifically Claude Haiku. The user experimented with different prompts to refine the AI's output, navigating issues like model confusion (GPT-2 vs. Claude) and overly conversational tone. Ultimately, prompting the AI with direct source materials (Minsky’s books and Anthropic's paper) yielded the most insightful analysis, highlighting potential connections like the concept of "A and B brains" within both frameworks.
