Uploaded: 2026-10-04T03:18:16.402141+00:00
Duration: 231 s
Description: TRACE addresses safety erosion during LLM fine-tuning by simulating harmful training paths to create a universal safety patch offline. It optimizes this patch to be disentangled from user task updates, solving the conflict between maintaining high safety and preserving task utility. The result is a single, robust patch that works across many different fine-tuning scenarios.
