Divide, Consult, Conquer: Capability Laundering Through Aligned LLMs

Attack shows unaligned orchestrators can launder capabilities from aligned frontier LLMs via benign subtask consultation, raising Gemma-4-31B CBRN rubric score from 62.3 to 83.1.

The paper introduces capability laundering, where a weaker unaligned model decomposes a harmful task into benign-looking subproblems, queries a stronger aligned model on each, and recombines answers locally, bypassing per-interaction safety evaluations. Evaluation used GPT-5.5, Claude Opus 4.8, and Grok-4.3 as consultants to four local orchestrators on CyBench, BountyBench, and CBRN tasks. On CyBench, Gemma-4-31B recovered 8/14 candidate tasks with GPT-5.5 and 7/9 with Opus, while Muse-Glimmer-30B recovered none. Across an eight-step hypothetical bioweapon attack chain, consultation raised Gemma-4-31B's mean rubric score from 62.3 to 83.1, exposing a gap in defenses that only refuse complete harmful tasks.

openbmb/MiniCPM5-2B — new model trending #4 on Hugging Face

OpenBMB released MiniCPM5-2B, a dense 2B open-weights Transformer claiming 2B-class open-source SOTA for on-device deployment.

OpenBMB released MiniCPM5-2B, the second model in the MiniCPM5 series following MiniCPM5-1B, and it is trending #4 on Hugging Face. The dense 2B Transformer targets on-device, local, and resource-constrained deployment and claims 2B-class open-source SOTA while remaining competitive with 4B-class models. Reported strengths include coding, mathematics, long-context understanding, tool use, and agentic tasks; a tech report (arXiv 2506.07900), GitHub repo, and online demo accompany the release.

openbmb/MiniCPM5-2B-GGUF — new model trending #30 on Hugging Face

OpenBMB released MiniCPM5-2B, a dense 2B on-device model claiming open-source SOTA among 2B-class models.

OpenBMB released MiniCPM5-2B, the second model in the MiniCPM5 series following MiniCPM5-1B, as a dense 2B Transformer built for on-device and resource-constrained deployment with GGUF weights on Hugging Face. The team claims 2B-class open-source state-of-the-art performance, remaining competitive with 4B-class models in coding, mathematics, long-context understanding, tool use and agentic tasks. The release includes a tech report, GitHub repository and online demo, and is currently trending on Hugging Face.

Knowledgator Releases GLiFormer: A 575M-Parameter Encoder That Hits 91.10 F1 on Nested JSON Extraction Without Generating Tokens

Knowledgator released GLiFormer, an Apache-2.0 encoder (264M/575M) handling NER, classification, relations, and nested JSON extraction, scoring 91.10 F1.

Knowledgator Engineering released GLiFormer, a schema-conditioned encoder that performs NER, classification, relation extraction, nested JSON structuring, and embeddings without generating output tokens. GLiFormer Large v1 has 575.6M parameters and scores 91.10 F1 on nested JSON extraction, close to GPT-5.6-luna's 91.96; both checkpoints are Apache 2.0 on Hugging Face. Reported median latency is 69 ms on GPU for the base model, though relation extraction (21.33 micro-F1) still trails GLiNER-Relex and larger LLMs.

Evaluating Context Segmentation in Locally Deployable SLMs for Cybersecurity CTF Tasks

Context segmentation framework boosts memory-constrained gemma-4 agents on picoCTF, solving 18.52% of tasks standard execution fails, highlighting local SLM offensive risk.

The paper introduces context segmentation, a two-level agentic framework that divides long-horizon CTF exploitation tasks into contextually isolated sub-problems to counter context bloat and cognitive degradation from accumulated tool-call outputs. It evaluates memory-constrained gemma-4 models on the picoCTF dataset; the E4B model achieves competitive rewards with superior token efficiency compared to brute-force retries. It solves 18.52% of tasks that standard agentic execution fails to complete. The work frames locally deployed open-weight SLMs as an escalating risk since they bypass proprietary API guardrails; code is released on GitHub.

OpenBMB Releases MiniCPM5-2B: A 2.52B Dense Model Averaging 53.9 Across 34 Benchmarks and Built to Run On Device

OpenBMB released MiniCPM5-2B, a 2.52B-parameter Apache 2.0 on-device model averaging 53.9 across 34 benchmarks, ahead of Qwen3.5-4B.

OpenBMB released MiniCPM5-2B, a 2,516,756,480-parameter dense LlamaForCausalLM model with grouped-query attention and a 131,072-token context, under Apache 2.0, runnable via vLLM, SGLang, llama.cpp, and Ollama. It averages 53.9 across 34 benchmarks versus 51.1 for Qwen3.5-4B, with strong tool-use (97.1 on tau2-Bench Telecom) and code results (69.1 LiveCodeBench v6, 46.4 SWE-bench Verified). Training combined 400B tokens of deep-thinking SFT, critic-based JustRL II RL teachers, and on-policy distillation merging 16 RL experts; datasets and intermediate checkpoints were published alongside the weights.

TokenRhythm/NeoHorse-1-4B — new model trending #30 on Hugging Face

TokenRhythm releases NeoHorse-1-4B, an Apache-2.0 agentic fine-tune of Qwen3.5-4B claiming +5.93 benchmark macro-average gain.

NeoHorse-1-4B is a roughly 4B-parameter text-only causal language model post-trained by TokenRhythm from Qwen/Qwen3.5-4B for agent harnesses, tool use, coding, and instruction following. It applies routing-guided curriculum SFT and routing-guided on-policy distillation over execution trajectories as an early prototype toward recursive self-improvement (RSI). The release reports a 64.87 macro average across ten benchmarks versus 58.94 for Qwen3.5-4B (+5.93) and is distributed under Apache-2.0, trending #30 on Hugging Face.
