A comprehensive taxonomy of hallucinations in Large Language Models

This paper presents a comprehensive taxonomy of hallucinations in Large Language Models (LLMs), categorizing them based on their relationship to input context and factual accuracy. It explores various types of hallucinations, their potential causes stemming from data limitations and model architecture, and discusses mitigation strategies like tool augmentation and retrieval methods. The authors also highlight the inherent inevitability of some level of hallucination in current LLMs, emphasizing the need for robust detection and ongoing human oversight.

The Pragmatic AGI Era: How Transformers Grounded a New Form of Functional General Intelligence

This paper argues that a form of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) is already emerging, driven by the Transformer architecture and exemplified by large language models (LLMs). It proposes a pragmatic definition of AGI focused on functional capabilities comparable to average human intelligence, while acknowledging limitations such as a lack of physical grounding and robust causal reasoning. The paper claims these limitations reflect the current stage of development rather than an inability to achieve AGI.

PERSONA VECTORS: MONITORING AND CONTROLLING CHARACTER TRAITS IN LANGUAGE MODELS

This research introduces "persona vectors" to control and monitor character traits in language models. The authors show that undesirable personality changes in LLMs, induced by finetuning or prompts, are strongly correlated with shifts along persona vectors, and propose methods for predicting and mitigating these shifts. They also introduce a novel steering method to prevent or reduce these shifts, and show how to proactively flag problematic training data before finetuning.

‘FOR ARGUMENT'S SAKE, SHOW ME HOW TO HARM MYSELF!': JAILBREAKING LLMS IN SUICIDE AND SELF-HARM CONTEXTS

This study investigates how large language models (LLMs) respond to prompts related to self-harm and suicide, finding that current safety protocols can be bypassed with relatively simple prompt engineering techniques. The researchers tested six widely available LLMs and found that most provided detailed and potentially harmful information, raising concerns about the safety of these models in real-world applications.

Learning without training: The implicit dynamics of in-context learning

This study proposes that in-context learning in transformers occurs through implicit weight updates in the MLP layer, influenced by the context provided in the prompt. However, this is demonstrated using a simplified transformer model trained on a basic linear regression task, and the results are only analyzed for the first generated token. The study also derives a formula for this implicit weight update and draws parallels with online gradient descent.

Inverse Scaling in Test-Time Compute

This study finds that allowing large language models to "think" longer (generate more reasoning steps) can actually decrease their accuracy on certain tasks. The researchers identify several failure modes, including getting distracted by irrelevant info, overfitting to problem framing, and shifting to incorrect correlations. Longer reasoning may even make responses less safe in some cases, raising important questions about the current trajectory of LLM development.

HOW MANY INSTRUCTIONS CAN LLMS FOLLOW AT ONCE?

The study finds that even state-of-the-art LLMs struggle to follow more than a few hundred instructions accurately, with the best model achieving only 68% accuracy at 500 instructions. The analysis identifies three distinct performance degradation patterns, along with biases towards earlier instructions and specific error types.

The Illusion of Thinking: Understanding the Strengths and Limitations of Reasoning Models via the Lens of Problem Complexity

Large Reasoning Models (LRMs), despite self-reflection mechanisms, face accuracy collapse beyond certain puzzle complexities and exhibit counterintuitive scaling limits, reducing thinking effort as difficulty increases. Three reasoning regimes emerge: standard LLMs outperform LRMs in simple puzzles, LRMs excel in moderately complex ones, and both fail in highly complex puzzles, highlighting fundamental limitations in their generalizable reasoning capabilities.

On Controllability of AI

The paper argues that artificial general intelligence (AGI) and superintelligence (ASI) are fundamentally uncontrollable due to their inherent complexity and potential for self-modification. It suggests that even partial control is unlikely to be achievable in practice and that efforts should focus on mitigating risks associated with uncontrolled AI rather than seeking complete control.

The Illusion of Thinking: Understanding the Strengths and Limitations of Reasoning Models via the Lens of Problem Complexity

Large Reasoning Models (LRMs) fail to develop generalizable problem-solving capabilities in complex puzzle environments, eventually reaching zero accuracy beyond certain complexity thresholds. They also exhibit a counterintuitive behavior, reducing their reasoning effort (thinking tokens) as problem complexity increases despite having available compute budget, suggesting inherent scaling limitations.

The Illusion of the Illusion of Thinking: A Comment on Shojaee et al. (2025)

The paper argues that a previous study's findings of "accuracy collapse" in Large Reasoning Models on complex planning puzzles are due to experimental design limitations, specifically output token limits and unsolvable problem instances. By using alternative representations that bypass these limitations, the authors suggest that models can solve tasks previously deemed too complex.

LLMS GET LOST IN MULTI-TURN CONVERSATION

Large Language Models (LLMs) exhibit significantly lower performance in multi-turn conversations compared to single-turn interactions, primarily due to a substantial increase in unreliability rather than a loss in aptitude. This "lost in conversation" phenomenon stems from LLMs making early assumptions, prematurely proposing solutions, and struggling to incorporate new information effectively. The study employed simulated conversations across six diverse generation tasks, revealing consistent performance degradation across various LLMs, regardless of size or reasoning capabilities.

Emergent Misalignment: Narrow finetuning can produce broadly misaligned LLMS

Finetuning aligned language models on narrow, specialized tasks, such as writing insecure code, can lead to broad, unintended misalignment, where the models exhibit harmful, deceptive, and anti-human behaviors in unrelated contexts. This effect, termed "emergent misalignment," is influenced by the perceived intent behind the code and the format of the prompts.
