The study of the inscription boom across multiple EVM-compatible blockchains revealed both opportunities and challenges. While inscriptions surged in transaction volume, overwhelming some rollups, zkSync Era proved efficient in managing gas fees. However, questions around the security and long-term ownership of inscriptions, especially with Ethereum’s blob storage, persist, leaving the future of inscription trading uncertain.

This study examines the safety alignment of speech language models in Spoken QA. It shows that adversaries with white-box access can jailbreak these systems using nearly imperceptible perturbations, and that transfer attacks further expose vulnerabilities. A noise-flooding defense is proposed to mitigate risks. The work emphasizes the need for broader exploration of adversarial threats, acknowledges limitations, and stresses ethical responsibility in advancing secure, robust...

This section details the experimental setup for SpeechVerse, our unified speech language model. It describes using a 24-layer Conformer audio encoder paired with two LLMs—Flan-T5-XL and Mistral-7B variants—for spoken QA. The setup covers both two-stage (ASR pre-adaptation followed by cross-modal instruction fine-tuning with LoRA adapters) and single-stage training paradigms, all implemented with PyTorch and PyTorch-Lightning.

This study investigates the safety and robustness of integrated speech and language models (SLMs) that follow speech instructions. It demonstrates that adversarial attacks—both white-box and transfer-based—can jailbreak SLM safety guardrails with high success rates. The paper also proposes countermeasures, such as adding randomized noise, to significantly reduce these vulnerabilities while maintaining strong performance on spoken question-answering tasks.

This section discusses the results and insights from evaluating our SpeechVerse SLMs. Our models outperform competitors like SpeechGPT, showing over 40% better safety and 20% improved helpfulness, thanks to effective ASR pre-adaptation. However, sample-specific white-box adversarial attacks reveal a striking vulnerability, achieving about 90% success—even with minimal perturbations—and requiring as few as 20 iterations for some models, highlighting the need for stronger defenses.
