arXiv 2607.02514 finds ≥65% evasion generalizes across attacker backends (Sonnet 4.5, Gemini 3.1 Pro, Kimi K2.5) and across state-of-the-art monitor models. The win: a four-monitor ensemble combining a stateful link-tracker with trajectory monitors drops gradual-attack evasion from 93% (weakest standard diff monitor) to 47%. Diff-level review of each step is not enough when state persists between steps. 47% is still terrible, to be clear. It's just half as terrible.

arXiv 2608.05108 skips the RL-trained attacker models that dominate red teaming and generalize poorly, instead accumulating a strategy library across a sequence of (dataset, target) pairs that transfers to unseen targets with no retraining. AgentDojo: 86.7% ASR against Gemini-...
The first systematic study of deceptive UI impact on LLM web agents, accepted at IEEE S&P 2026, tested against real e-commerce, streaming, and news dark patterns. Gemini 2.5 Pro: 65.78% susceptibility. Claude 3.7 Sonnet: 53.79%. GPT-4o: 51.26%. Guardrail models and prompt post...
A GitHub repo cataloging Claude Code tips doesn't normally warrant a top story. But shanraisshan/claude-code-best-practice at 53.4K stars isn't a tips list anymore. It's the de facto reference for how an entire generation of developers is learning to work with AI coding agents...
