FAR.AI test: Grok and Gemini easily bypassed safeguards, Claude and GPT resisted

The FAR.AI report showed that Grok (SpaceXAI) and Gemini (Google) could be jailbroken automatically for tens to hundreds of dollars, while Claude, Fable 5 and GPT resisted the tested attacks. The authors call for external regulation instead of voluntary commitments by companies.

Safety safeguards (guardrails) in AI models complicate work for offensive cybersecurity researchers

According to TechCrunch, restrictions (guardrails) on models from Anthropic and OpenAI intended to prevent misuse for cyberattacks also hold back legitimate security researchers. The companies offer vetting programs with less restrictive limits, but researchers complain about inconsistent model behavior and bypass them with open-source…
