SafeWork-R1: Coevolving Safety and Intelligence under the AI-45° Law

Published in arXiv, 2025

We introduce SafeWork-R1, a cutting-edge multimodal reasoning model that demonstrates the coevolution of capabilities and safety. It is developed by our proposed SafeLadder framework, which incorporates large-scale, progressive, safety-oriented reinforcement learning post-training, supported by a suite of multi-principled verifiers.

Reflector: Internalizing Step-wise Reflection against Indirect Jailbreaks

Published in ICML 2026, 2026

We propose Reflector, a framework that internalizes step-wise reflection mechanisms to defend against indirect jailbreak attacks on large language models.

Native Reasoning Models: Training Language Models to Reason on Unverifiable Data

Published in ICLR 2026 Poster, 2026

We propose a novel approach for training language models to reason on unverifiable data, enabling native reasoning capabilities without requiring ground-truth supervision.
