Building a Hybrid Rule-Based and Machine Learning Framework to Detect and Defend Against Jailbreak Prompts in LLM Systems

Building a Hybrid Rule-Based and Machine Learning Framework to Detect and Defend Against Jailbreak Prompts in LLM Systems

In this tutorial, we introduce a Jailbreak Defense that we built step-by-step to detect and safely handle policy-evasion prompts. We generate realistic attack and benign examples, craft rule-based signals, and combine those with TF-IDF features into a compact, interpretable classifier so we can catch evasive prompts without blocking legitimate requests. We demonstrate evaluation metrics, explain…

The best mesh Wi-Fi systems of 2025

The best mesh Wi-Fi systems of 2025

A Wi-Fi mesh system is one of the best upgrades you can make to improve your home’s internet coverage, especially if you’ve ever struggled with dead zones, buffering or dropped video calls. Unlike a single router that broadcasts from one central point, a mesh system uses multiple access points spread throughout your space to blanket…

Meet Elysia: A New Open-Source Python Framework Redefining Agentic RAG Systems with Decision Trees and Smarter Data Handling

Meet Elysia: A New Open-Source Python Framework Redefining Agentic RAG Systems with Decision Trees and Smarter Data Handling

If you’ve ever tried to build a agentic RAG system that actually works well, you know the pain. You feed it some documents, cross your fingers, and hope it doesn’t hallucinate when someone asks it a simple question. Most of the time, you get back irrelevant chunks of text that barely answer what was asked….

Researchers Uncover GPT-5 Jailbreak and Zero-Click AI Agent Attacks Exposing Cloud and IoT Systems

Researchers Uncover GPT-5 Jailbreak and Zero-Click AI Agent Attacks Exposing Cloud and IoT Systems

Cybersecurity researchers have uncovered a jailbreak technique to bypass ethical guardrails erected by OpenAI in its latest large language model (LLM) GPT-5 and produce illicit instructions. Generative artificial intelligence (AI) security platform NeuralTrust said it combined a known technique called Echo Chamber with narrative-driven steering to trick the model into producing undesirable responses. “We use…

PCB design tips for EMI and thermal management in 800G systems

PCB design tips for EMI and thermal management in 800G systems

As the industry accelerates toward 800G Ethernet and optical interconnects, engineers face new challenges in managing electromagnetic interference (EMI) while ensuring signal integrity at unprecedented speeds. The transition to 112G pulse amplitude modulation 4-level (PAM4) SerDes introduces faster edge rates and dense spectral content, elevating the risk of radiated and conducted emissions. Simultaneously, compact module…

AI Guardrails and Trustworthy LLM Evaluation: Building Responsible AI Systems

AI Guardrails and Trustworthy LLM Evaluation: Building Responsible AI Systems

Introduction: The Rising Need for AI Guardrails As large language models (LLMs) grow in capability and deployment scale, the risk of unintended behavior, hallucinations, and harmful outputs increases. The recent surge in real-world AI integrations across healthcare, finance, education, and defense sectors amplifies the demand for robust safety mechanisms. AI guardrails—technical and procedural controls ensuring…

Model predicts long-term effects of nuclear waste on underground disposal systems

As countries across the world experience a resurgence in nuclear energy projects, the questions of where and how to dispose of nuclear waste remain as politically fraught as ever. The United States, for instance, has indefinitely stalled its only long-term underground nuclear waste repository. Scientists are using both modeling and experimental methods to study the…
