GT-HarmBench: Benchmarking AI Safety Risks Through the Lens of Game Theory
arXiv AI

arXiv:2602. 12316v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Frontier AI systems are increasingly capable and deployed in high-stakes multi-agent environments. However, existing AI safety benchmarks largely evaluate single agents, leaving multi-agent risks such as coordination failure and conflict poorly understood.

A Theoretical Framework for Adaptive Utility-Weighted Benchmarking

arXiv:2602. 12356v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Benchmarking has long served as a foundational practice in machine learning and, increasingly, in modern AI systems such as large language models, where shared tasks, metrics, and leaderboards offer a common basis for measuring progress and comparing approaches. As AI systems are deployed in more varied and consequential settings, though, there is growing value in complementing these established practices with a more holistic conceptualization of what evaluation should represent.

Intent-Driven Smart Manufacturing Integrating Knowledge Graphs and Large Language Models

arXiv:2602. 12419v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The increasing complexity of smart manufacturing environments demands interfaces that can translate high-level human intents into machine-executable actions. This paper presents a unified framework that integrates instruction-tuned Large Language Models (LLMs) with ontology-aligned Knowledge Graphs (KGs) to enable intent-driven interaction in Manufacturing-as-a-Service (MaaS) ecosystems.

Building Websites with Claude Code

Over the past couple of weekends I have built and published five complete websites and a complex interactive page for this site. I had the content already handy, but all of the work of making the websites, and a substantial amount of their deployment, was handled exclusively by Claude Cowork and Claude Code.
