In the rapidly evolving landscape of Large Language Models (LLMs), ensuring robust safety measures is paramount. To meet this crucial need, we propose \emph{SALAD-Bench}, a safety benchmark specifically designed for evaluating LLMs, attack, and defense methods. Distinguished by its breadth, SALAD-Bench transcends conventional benchmarks through its large scale, rich diversity, intricate taxonomy spanning three levels, and versatile functionalities.SALAD-Bench is crafted with a meticulous array of questions, from standard queries to complex ones enriched with attack, defense modifications and multiple-choice. To effectively manage the inherent complexity, we introduce an innovative evaluators: the LLM-based MD-Judge for QA pairs with a particular focus on attack-enhanced queries, ensuring a seamless, and reliable evaluation. Above components extend SALAD-Bench from standard LLM safety evaluation to both LLM attack and defense methods evaluation, ensuring the joint-purpose utility. Our extensive experiments shed light on the resilience of LLMs against emerging threats and the efficacy of contemporary defense tactics. Data and evaluator are released under https://github.com/OpenSafetyLab/SALAD-BENCH.

  1. Harm is not Universal: Community-Specific Toxicity Detection is Urgently Needed

    cs.CV 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    SoTA T2I toxicity detectors miss ~35% of disability-community harms; zero-shot CTD fails below random, while ICL/VQA/LoRA improve but stay well below general TD performance.

  2. Chain-of-Models: Cross-Model Auditing for Bias-Robust LLM Judges

    cs.CL 2026-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Per-bias selection of a cross-family LLM auditor lifts biased-judgment accuracy from 0.805/0.824 baselines to 0.884.

  3. Mitigating the Safety-utility Trade-off in LLM Alignment via Adaptive Safe Context Learning

    cs.CR 2026-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    ASCL lets Qwen3 models retrieve safety rules on demand through a tool, and IFPO rebalances RL advantages so the model doesn't over-consult the tool; together they improve the safety/over-refusal trade-off.

  4. YouthSafe: A Youth-Centric Safety Benchmark and Safeguard Model for Large Language Models

    cs.HC 2025-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Introduces YAIR, a youth-GenAI risk benchmark, and YouthSafe, a fine-tuned classifier with AUPRC 0.94 on it, though it compares a trained model to untrained baselines.

  5. Q-resafe: Assessing Safety Risks and Quantization-aware Safety Patching for Quantized Large Language Models

    cs.LG 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Q-resafe restores much of the safety lost in quantized LLMs by distilling the original model's responses through DPO while selectively updating only safety-critical weights.

  6. Benchmarking Open-Source Safety Guard Models: A Comprehensive Evaluation

    cs.CL 2026-04 conditional novelty 5.5 of 10

    Qwen Guard (4B) reaches 83.97% recall on a 79k NIST-aligned safety benchmark while larger models such as Llama Guard 12B and GPT-OSS 20B miss up to 75% of unsafe content; model size does not predict detection performance.

  7. Semalith v1.4: A Calibrated 184M Safety Classifier Achieving State-of-the-Art Prompt-Injection Detection at 44x Fewer Parameters than Llama-Guard-3-8B

    cs.LG 2026-05 reject novelty 5.0 of 10

    A 184M-parameter DeBERTa-v3 fine-tuned model is claimed to beat Llama-Guard-3-8B on all tested prompt-injection benchmarks while adding BFSI regulatory labels, but a leaked training/eval overlap undermines the zero-FPR claim.

  8. Frontier AI Risk Management Framework in Practice: A Risk Analysis Technical Report

    cs.AI 2025-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    An evaluation of 18 frontier AI models across seven catastrophic-risk categories finds all models in green or yellow zones, with none crossing the report's proposed red lines.

  9. JavelinGuard: Low-Cost Transformer Architectures for LLM Security

    cs.LG 2025-06 reject novelty 4.0 of 10

    A study of five small transformer classifier architectures for LLM jailbreak and prompt injection detection claims low-latency accuracy comparable to large models, led by the multi-task Raudra design.

  10. The Scales of Justitia: A Comprehensive Survey on Safety Evaluation of LLMs

    cs.CL 2025-06 conditional novelty 3.0 of 10

    A structured survey of LLM safety evaluation that proposes a why/what/where/how taxonomy and catalogs metrics, datasets, benchmarks, evaluators, and frameworks.

  11. Alignment and Safety in Large Language Models: Safety Mechanisms, Training Paradigms, and Emerging Challenges

    cs.AI 2025-07 reject novelty 1.0 of 10

    A broad survey of LLM alignment that catalogs objectives, benchmarks, SFT/RLHF/DPO methods, and safety challenges, without contributing new experimental or theoretical results.
