What Do Compliance Detectors Read? An Audit of Activation Probes and Guard Models

Regulatory compliance monitoring in deployed language models is increasingly implemented as a legal and audit control, checking model outputs against written rules spanning data protection, healthcare, financial regulation, and platform policy. Such monitoring is meaningful only if a detector's verdict depends on the s...

AgentTune: A Unified Training Lifecycle for Tool-Using LLM Agents

Tool-using agents increasingly require a common substrate for building, training, evaluating, distilling, and maintaining agentic systems, yet existing tooling typically addresses these stages in isolation. We present AgentTune, a source-available Python library that provides a unified framework for developing and opti...

Cited but Not Consulted: A Counterfactual Audit of Legal Chain-of-Thought Faithfulness

Large language models increasingly justify legal decisions by naming the statute or precedent behind a verdict, treated as evidence that the decision follows from it. We test this directly: holding case facts fixed, we substitute the named legal authority for an unrelated one and decode a model's evolving verdict from...

Every Ablation Is a Dose: Counterweights and the Semblance of Self-Repair

Ablate a component of a language model, and other components often appear to adjust and compensate. This phenomenon, termed self-repair, has been observed repeatedly, but its mechanism remains unclear. The most systematic study to date concluded that self-repair is noisy and unlikely to have a single explanation. We ar...

SafeTune: A Unified Faithful Library for Auditing and Repairing Safety Drift in Fine-Tuned LLMs

Methods for addressing safety drift in fine-tuned Large Language Models (LLMs) are scattered across incompatible implementations, lifecycle stages, and evaluation protocols, making them difficult to adopt and compare. We introduce SafeTune, a source-available library that unifies four intervention paradigms: post-hoc w...

Faithfulness to Refusal: A Causal Audit of Neuron Selectors

Two paired audits built on one-shot neuron-row zeroing show that rank-stability proxies miss the kinds of selector failures a direct causal audit can surface, and audit selectors at the language-modeling level.
