Title: Finding and Reactivating Post-Trained LLMs' Hidden Safety Mechanisms
Abstract:
arXiv:2604.00012v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Despite the impressive performance of general-purpose large language models (LLMs), they often require fine-tuning or post-training to excel at specific tasks. For instance, large reasoning models (LRMs), such as the DeepSeek-R1 series, demonstrate strong reasoning capabilities after post-training different general large language models on diverse chain-of-thought (CoT) datasets. However, this additional training frequently comes at the cost of r
