You are not my model anymore - understanding LLM model behavior

Andreas Erben

A silent filter update once caused Microsoft Copilot to completely hide internal documents. Learn how automated evaluations and uncensored testing models protect applications from unpredictable LLM shifts.

#1 about 3 min

Silent filter updates causing unexpected file hiding

Microsoft's undocumented filter implementations for jailbreaks can silently hide entire documents from searches.

#2 about 4 min

Generating tokens and shaping model behaviors

Large language models generate outputs as token probability distributions and require structured alignment to behave predictably.

#3 about 2 min

Navigating hidden variables in closed source model architectures

Major artificial intelligence labs keep their model topologies and runtime configurations hidden behind layers of application code.

#4 about 3 min

Navigating undocumented content filters in cloud infrastructures

Cloud providers enforce restrictive content filters that silently block prompts and inadvertently enable second-order data-hiding attacks.

#5 about 3 min

Managing rapid lifecycles and shifting model behaviors

Frequent model deprecations and automated version upgrades result in unannounced changes to expected software behavior.

#6 about 3 min

Understanding the fragile alignment of language models

Aligned behavior represents a thin veneer over unpredictable patterns that can be bypassed using grammar-based jailbreaks.

#7 about 2 min

Mapping internal model concepts to activation weights

Observing internal activation weights during text generation facilitates the early detection of hallucinations and distinct model personalities.

#8 about 4 min

Building evaluation frameworks for automated regression testing

Continuous regression testing using automated prompt permutations prevents systemic failures when expected model versions upgrade rapidly.

#9 about 5 min

Optimizing prompts and testing against unannounced filter updates

Utilizing uncensored evaluation models and explicit zero-shot structures helps developers test consistently against hidden cloud filter updates.
