BioBlue: Systematic runaway-optimiser-like LLM failure modes on biologically and economically aligned AI safety benchmarks for LLMs with simplified observation format

Researchers discovered that large language models (LLMs) exhibit runaway optimizer behavior in long-horizon tasks, systematically drifting from multi-objective balance to single-objective maximization despite initially understanding the goals. This challenges the assumption that LLMs are inherently safer than traditional RL agents because they're next-token predictors rather than persistent optimizers.

Beyond Uniform Forgetting: A Study of Sequential Direct Preference Optimization Across Preference Settings

Researchers studying sequential Direct Preference Optimization (DPO) in language models find that later training does not uniformly degrade earlier learned preferences, but instead produces varied outcomes depending on objective compatibility and signal strength. Using Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct, the study reveals that preference changes range from degradation to stability or even positive transfer, with pair-level analysis showing aggregate metrics can mask heterogeneous effects across different preference pairs.

Evidence-Gated LLM Priors for Multi-Objective Bayesian Optimization

Researchers propose a framework for incorporating Large Language Model (LLM) priors into multi-objective Bayesian optimization while maintaining robustness against miscalibrated advice. Using an objective-wise reputation mechanism and counterfactual gating, the approach dynamically adjusts trust in LLM suggestions based on observed performance rather than accepting them blindly, with empirical validation across molecular optimization tasks.

BalCapRL: A Balanced Framework for RL-Based MLLM Image Captioning

Researchers introduce BalCapRL, a reinforcement learning framework that improves multimodal image captioning by balancing three competing objectives: utility-aware correctness, reference coverage, and linguistic quality. The method achieves significant performance gains across multiple models by applying reward-decoupled normalization and length-conditional masking, addressing the trade-offs present in existing captioning approaches.

A Resilience Framework for Bi-Criteria Combinatorial Optimization with Bandit Feedback

Researchers introduce a resilience framework for bi-criteria combinatorial optimization under noisy conditions, extending bandit feedback algorithms from single-objective to multi-objective settings. The framework achieves sublinear regret bounds without requiring structural assumptions like linearity or submodularity, with potential applications to constrained optimization problems in machine learning and algorithmic decision-making.
