Updating Classifier Evasion for Vision Language Models | NVIDIA Technical Blog Advances in AI architectures have unlocked multimodal functionality, enabling transformer models to process multiple forms of data in the same context. For instance, vision language models (VLMs) can…

Dust off the Adversarial Robustness Toolbox, the other modalities are back in the AI security game!

TIL Claude's new code interpreter mode has a /mnt/skills/public/ folder full of prompt instructions and Python utilities for creating and manipulating pdf, docx, pptx, xlsx files - and you can ask Claude for a copy and learn a TON about working with those formats […]

Seriously though, I would totally take on a motivated high school student who wanted to do math and software.

GitHub - webmachinelearning/prompt-api: 💬 A proposal for a web API for prompting browser-provided language models 💬 A proposal for a web API for prompting browser-provided language models - webmachinelearning/prompt-api

The malicious prompt in question displaying inside of a customer's Very Enterprisey(tm) endpoint security tooling during the attack window.

AWS security bulletin: aws.amazon.com/security/sec...

"This issue did not affect any production services or end-users."

Weird how customer logs show the wiper prompt executing.

Anyone else see "clean a system to a near-factory state" in your logs?

🚨 Challenge Spotlight: AIS Sudden Death ⚓

At DEFCON 33’s Maritime Hacking Village, satellite comms are down, and spoofed AIS signals are your only clue. One ship is real. One’s a trap. Choose right or sink trying.

5 rounds. Zero forgiveness. Can you spot the spoof?

If you're interested in the security of agentic systems, you're not going to want to miss this talk. @beccalunch.bsky.social will present NVIDIA AI Red Team findings in real world agentic systems, and I'll talk about how the AI Security team helps mitigate them.

Structuring Applications to Secure the KV Cache | NVIDIA Technical Blog When interacting with transformer-based models like large language models (LLMs) and vision-language models (VLMs), the structure of the input shapes the model’s output. But prompts are often more…

Everyone’s looking at jailbreaks. We wanted to look deeper and noticed a cool side channel in a popular inference optimization technique.

AI timezone when? Always stuck at 10:10 (except when it's 22:10).

Makes sense to me. Is there a feature or class of problem you’ve seen as the point where folks benefit from that switch?

1) build on wasm with pyodide/extism
2. <something blocked by that abstraction>
3. Dive in

Is it optimization?

@nilslice.bsky.social for devs just getting excited about wasm, what resources would you recommend they study/explore?

Is it worth learning internals or just consuming it as a compilation target? Are there ecosystem things to explore to become a power user?

My 2c: One of the biggest differentiators is the ability to measure uncertainty and error. That's a pretty big gap in many LLM demos and ends up being a key factor in production adoption. Stakeholders abhor unquantified uncertainty. It's easier to engineer around more principled approaches (spaCy).

Lessons from CVE-2025-29783:
1) AI attack surface continues to expand with new features and infra
2) pickle is used in ML for more than models
3) dev moves fast; establish standards early to prevent security tech debt
4) traditional appsec tooling is still 🔥 (found w/ @semgrep.bsky.social)

Do people still like discord ? Should we set up an openai security chat on the openai discord server ?
