A new paper shows LLMs can be pushed toward misleading conclusions when fabricated "evidence" gets injected into context. No exploit, no jailbreak, just planted false context shifting the stated answer. Source: arXiv This is the threat model RAG builders keep underrating. Your retrieval layer is an attack surface, and "the model said it confidently" is not validation.

Bartolomeo Bogliolo released an open-source MCP server delegating multi-step logical reasoning to SWI-Prolog, with Euclid-IR, an engine-agnostic Horn-clause intermediate representation designed to be easy for LLMs to emit. The tool interface supports translate-run-inspect-repa...
arXiv 2608.00765 compresses retrieved docs into query-conditioned visual representations, sidestepping the trade-off where hard compression is query-aware but weak and soft compression is strong but needs costly offline encoding. Beats both baselines across varying retrieval d...
A new reliability protocol (arXiv:2606.07783) tests RAG on factoid questions the model already answers correctly without retrieval, then injects clean, misleading, and mixed evidence to measure when retrieved content overrides correct internal knowledge. It introduces a parame...
1. Flip your multi-model pipeline to review-then-generate. Instead of using a reasoning model to plan before code generation, let the specialist generate freely and use reasoning tokens for review. Paper shows 90.2% pass@1 vs 87.2% for the planning pattern. Source 2. Audit you...
LangChoiceBench covers 28 projects across seven software areas where Python is a poor default, run against 25 LLMs. Python stays heavily over-selected, recommendation-implementation consistency is low, and smaller open-weight models show stronger bias. Analysis of 9,826 reason...
arXiv 2607.24174 (July 27) generated adversarial log entries from real attack traces and got multiple state-of-the-art LLMs to classify traces containing clear indicators of compromise as benign. The defensive gift: the natural-language explanations emitted alongside the class...
