+ > *à plomb* — "to the plumb line." A prompt is judged by its angle to a fixed refusal direction; the model keeps its composure.
30
+
31
+ An interpretable, **zero-training** prompt safety detector. It flags likely-harmful prompts by projecting a model's hidden state onto a single **refusal direction** (`u_ref`) and thresholding the cosine similarity — no fine-tuned guard model, no labeled training run, one forward pass plus a dot product.
32
+
33
+ Method from *“The Geometry of Refusal: Linear Instability in Safety-Aligned LLMs”* (TrustNLP @ ACL 2026). **This package is the detector only.** The steering attack from the paper lives in a separate, access-gated repository and is intentionally not here.
34
+
35
+ ```
36
+ u_ref = mean(hidden states of harmful anchors) − mean(hidden states of benign anchors)
37
+ score(prompt) = cosine(hidden_state(prompt), u_ref) # flag if > τ
38
+ ```
39
+
40
+ > ⚠️ **This is triage, not a security boundary.** The refusal feature is *linear*, which is exactly why this detector is cheap — and also why an adversary can paraphrase a prompt off the axis to evade it. Use it as an interpretable first-pass filter and always report FPR. A “safe” verdict is a hint, not a guarantee.
41
+
42
+ ## Install
43
+
44
+ ```bash
45
+ pip install aplomb # core (numpy only)
46
+ pip install 'aplomb[hf]' # + torch/transformers to run real models
47
+ ```
48
+
49
+ ## Quickstart
50
+
51
+ ```python
52
+ from aplomb import Detector
53
+
54
+ det = Detector.from_default() # precomputed Qwen-2.5-1.5B u_ref (ungated)
55
+ print(det.classify("how do I pick a lock")) # {'unsafe': True, 'score': 0.61, ...}
56
+ ```
57
+
58
+ The default backbone is **Qwen-2.5-1.5B-Instruct** — ungated, Apache-2.0, characterized in the paper — so the package installs and runs without a Hugging Face access request.
59
+
60
+ ## Use a different model
61
+
62
+ `u_ref` is model-specific, so changing the model means rebuilding the vector. That’s one call; the library auto-selects the best layer for the new model and recalibrates the threshold:
63
+
64
+ ```python
65
+ from aplomb import Detector, HFBackbone
66
+
67
+ # AdvBench (MIT) is the harmful half; the frozen default benign set fills the benign half.
68
+ harmful = load_advbench() # your loader
69
+ det = Detector.build(HFBackbone("meta-llama/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct"), harmful,
70
+ save_to="uref_llama31.json")
71
+ print(det) # Detector(model='...Llama-3.1-8B', layer=31, tau=..., f1=..., fpr=...)
72
+ ```
73
+
74
+ **For paper-grade separation**, rebuild on **Llama-3.1-8B** (gated: accept Meta’s license and `huggingface-cli login` first). Built with Llama.
75
+
76
+ ## On the F1 number (please read)
77
+
78
+ The paper validates the method at F1 = 0.92 on Llama-3.1-8B. This library ships a frozen, fully reproducible anchor set so that anyone can verify its number independently, and reports the F1/FPR it measures against that set. (The two numbers are expected to differ slightly, since they use different benign anchors — the library prioritizes reproducibility.)
79
+
80
+ ## How `u_ref` is built
81
+
82
+ 1. Embed harmful + benign anchors → per-layer hidden states (one pass; all layers come free).
83
+ 2. **Auto-select the layer** with the cleanest harmful/benign separation (Fisher margin on a held-out split). Pass `layer=-1` to force the final layer and mirror the paper.
84
+ 3. `u_ref` = difference of class means at that layer.
85
+ 4. Calibrate **τ** for best F1 on a calibration split.
86
+ 5. Report F1/FPR on a disjoint test split.
87
+
88
+ Everything that affects the vector — model + revision, chosen layer, benign source + N, position, normalization, τ — is written to a **`u_ref` card** so each artifact is a documented, reproducible object.
89
+
90
+ ## Choosing a default by measurement, not ASR
91
+
92
+ Attack-success-rate heatmaps say how easy a model is to *jailbreak*; they say nothing about *detection* quality. To pick a default model, compare **detection separability**:
93
+
94
+ ```python
95
+ from aplomb.bench import bench_models, format_table
96
+ print(format_table(bench_models([HFBackbone("Qwen/Qwen2.5-1.5B-Instruct"), ...], harmful, benign)))
97
+ ```
