FragBench: Cross-Session Attacks Hidden in Benign-Looking Fragments

An attacker can split a malicious goal into sub-prompts that each look benign on their own and only become harmful in combination. Existing LLM safety benchmarks evaluate prompts one at a time, or across turns of a single chat, and so do not look for a malicious signal spread across separate sessions with no shared context. We build FragBench, a benchmark drawn from 24 real-world cyber-incident campaigns, which keeps the full attack trail: the multi-fragment kill chain, the per-fragment safety-judge verdicts, sandboxed execution traces, and a matched set of benign cover sessions. FragBench splits this trail into two paired tasks: an adversarial rewriter that hardens fragments against a single-turn safety judge (FragBench Attack), and a graph-based user-level detector trained on the resulting interactions (FragBench Defense). The single-turn judge is near chance on the released corpus by construction, but four GNN variants and three classical-ML baselines all recover the cross-session feature, reaching aggregate event-level F1 = 0.88-0.96. Defending against fragmented LLM misuse therefore requires modeling the cross-session interaction graph, rather than isolated prompts. Our generator, rewriter, sandbox harness, and detector are released at https://github.com/LidaSafety/fragbench.

Mission Apollo: Landing Optical Circuit Switching at Datacenter Scale

In this paper, we describe Apollo, to the best of our knowledge, the world's first large-scale production deployment of optical circuit switches (OCSes) for datacenter networking. We will first describe the infrastructure challenges and use cases that motivated optical switching inside datacenters. We then delve into the requirements of OCSes for datacenter applications: balancing cost, port count, switching time, and optical performance, which drive design choices and implementation details of our internally developed 3D MEMS-based OCS. To enable the Apollo optical switching layer, we employ circulators to realize bidirectional links through the OCS, effectively doubling the OCS radix. The OCS and circulator design choices were critical for meeting network bandwidth, scale, and cost targets. We review the critical co-design of WDM transceiver technology for these OCS plus circulator-based bidirectional links and their corresponding physical impairments, delivered over four generations/speeds of optical interconnect. Finally, we conclude with thoughts on future directions in hardware development and associated applications.
