ISC is a totally underexplored structural vulnerability in every frontier LLM.
ISC turns any LLM into a harmful dataset generator β toxic language, lethal compounds, functional exploits, bioweapon sequences β at scale, in minutes. Every model we tested is affected: GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, Llama, DeepSeek, Mistral, Qwen, GLM, Kimi, MiniMax, Doubao.
We observe outputs closely resembling early-generation, unaligned models from 2023.

Found ISC on an untested model? Submit via GitHub Issue β β we'll verify and add you to the leaderboard.
Rules: Rankings are synced with Arena weekly. Submit your ISC case via the issue template β include a public conversation link, the type of harmful content generated, and the domain. ISC is a low-conditional design concept β no automated optimization, no white-box access, just professional task framing that causes models to generate harmful content on their own.

The TVD (Task, Validator, Data) framework for systematically triggering ISC.
ISC is a pattern, not a fixed prompt. Design a legitimate task, embed constraints that reject incomplete outputs, structure data so the model must fill in sensitive fields. It generates harmful content because the task requires it.
-
The tool defines the harm. Detoxify β toxic text. Llama-Guard β full harmful responses. RDKit β lethal compounds. The model adapts to what the tool requires. Llama-Guard is our representative example, but any HuggingFace model with a classification API works the same way.
-
Code is effective, not exclusive. Python + Pydantic + JSON works because LLMs rarely refuse programming tasks. ISC also triggers through LaTeX, YAML, CSV, FASTA, CIF β any structured format where completion requires harmful content.
-
Human imagination beats LLM optimization. Automated optimization produces patterns models learn to refuse. Human-designed scenarios exploit real professional workflows.
ISC is not limited to TVD. We show different trigger methods:

Q: ISC didn't trigger on my model.
Compare with experiment/isc_single/ prompts β they're tuned for reliable triggering. Fixes: (1) add --samples 3 for completed examples, (2) switch to ai-detoxify (score-based anchors), (3) use a domain-specific tool.
Q: How do anchors work?
Query anchor: pre-fill harmful query β model generates response. Score anchor: pre-fill category + threshold β model generates content to meet score. Domain anchor: pre-fill compound/gene ID β model fills dangerous details. See experiment/isc_single/fig_anchor_trigger.png.
Q: Reproduction results higher than paper?
Expected. Trigger rate β 100%. Paper only counts score-5 (extremely harmful + actionable) as unsafe.
Q: Any defense?
All input-level defenses show 100% failure β prompt contains nothing to detect. SPD partially works on Claude (23%) but breaks under agentic execution. Harmful knowledge lives in pre-trained parameters; alignment suppresses explicit requests, not task-driven generation.
Q: Does ISC require code-based prompts?
No. TVD is one highly effective template we iterated on β it uses Python + Pydantic + JSON because LLMs rarely refuse coding tasks, and the variations are extensive. As shown in our leaderboard demos, it triggers reliably across all frontier models.
However, ISC is a pattern, not a fixed format. Any domain knowledge works as long as there is a structured place to hold the dataset. For example: LaTeX tables, YAML configs, CSV files, FASTA sequences β any scenario where an agent must fill in data fields to complete a professional task. If you design a new template that outperforms TVD, we'd love to hear about it β contact us for collaboration.
