RedDarwin: Evolving Jailbreak Skills against Frontier LLMs
Attack on AI1 Research / proof of conceptJailbreak
Researchers present RedDarwin, an agentic framework designed to evolve reusable jailbreak skills against frontier large language models. The study demonstrates how automated attack methods adapt to model safety safeguards.
