| Challenge: | Existing red-teaming approaches for code generation rely on extensive human effort and are prone to generating malicious code under adversarial environments. |
| Approach: | They propose a red-teaming agent that engages victim models in multi-turn conversations to elicit vulnerable code. |
| Outcome: | Experiments show that RedCoder outperforms red-teaming methods in inducing vulnerabilities in code generation. |

| Challenge: | Existing red-teaming approaches focus on policy-level weaknesses, but they overlook systemic weaknesses . aRES exploits dual-targeting weaknesses in both the core LLM and the RM simultaneously. |
| Approach: | a new framework uncovers weaknesses in both the core and the reward models simultaneously . a "Safety Mentor" generates semantically coherent adversarial prompts . |
| Outcome: | ARES uncovers weaknesses in both the core LLM and the RM simultaneously . it fine-tunes the LM to detect harmful content, then optimizes the core model . |
