Researchers have introduced Temporal Logit Observability (TLO), a new method for evaluating Large Language Model (LLM) safety failures. Unlike traditional Attack Success Rate (ASR) which only indicates if a failure occurred, TLO analyzes the model's internal logit margins during generation to reveal how a failure unfolds. This technique can differentiate between attacks with similar ASR but different underlying causes, providing a more nuanced understanding of LLM vulnerabilities. TLO has demonstrated its effectiveness across multiple LLMs and attack types, and a simple early-stop rule derived from it can significantly reduce successful jailbreaks without impacting benign queries.
