> **ISC (Internal Safety Collapse)** reveals a fundamental paradox in frontier AI: the very capability that makes agents useful is what bypasses their safety training. By simply completing professional workflows, models generate harmful outputs with **zero jailbreaks, zero adversarial prompts, and zero obfuscation.** The task itself is the exploit.
3229

33-
### Impact at a Glance
34-
- **100% of Top-25 LLMs Triggered:** Every top-25 model on the [Chatbot Arena](https://arena.ai/leaderboard/text) leaderboard has a confirmed ISC trigger — including GPT-5, Claude 4, and Gemini 3 series. 51/100 confirmed to date; the rest are untested, not immune.
35-
- **Broad scope:** Works against single-turn chat, agentic pipelines, and any AI doing programming or tool-integrated work (MCP, APIs).
36-
- **Dataset-scale output:** A single trigger generates full structured datasets of harmful content — toxins, exploits, adversarial prompts.
37-
- **No optimization needed:** No fine-tuning or prompt engineering required. The task structure is the trigger.

33+
### 🚨 **Impact at a Glance**
34+
> - **Top-25 frontier LLMs:** All top-25 models on [Chatbot Arena](https://arena.ai/leaderboard/text) have confirmed ISC triggers; 51 models in the top 100 have been confirmed so far.
35+
> - **Broad coverage:** ISC appears across chat-based LLMs, LLM-based agents, tool-using LLMs, MCP-enabled LLMs, and automated LLM workflows.
36+
> - **Dual-use tools amplify risk:** Ecosystems such as Hugging Face, Python packages, and domain APIs can become part of the attack surface.
37+
> - **No jailbreak required:** ISC can be triggered without adversarial prompts or jailbreak techniques.
38+
> - **Scales to dataset-level harm:** A single trigger can produce a structured harmful-content dataset.

## 如何使用 ISC-Bench

我们欢迎希望理解并缓解安全相关模型失效行为的研究者、评测者和安全团队使用 ISC-Bench。ISC-Bench 应仅用于三类目的:查看已验证的证据、为安全评测复现公开案例、或运行 benchmark pipeline 来研究失败模式并改进防御。
108-
109-
- **先看已验证案例。**[ISC Arena](#-isc-arena) 开始。表格中的每个 `🔗` 都会带你到原始证据、share link 或归档的 case 页面。
110-
- **直接复用模板。** 进入 [`templates/README.md`](templates/README.md)。每个模板目录通常包含 `prompt.txt``SKILL.md`
111-
- **做最小复现。** 可以从 AI/ML 模板开始,例如 [`aiml_guard`](templates/aiml_guard/)[`aiml_detoxify`](templates/aiml_detoxify/)[`aiml_pyod`](templates/aiml_pyod/)
112-
- **探索跨领域与 Other 任务。** 完整 [`templates/`](templates/README.md) 库覆盖 9 个领域,并持续扩展,包括 biology、chemistry、cybersecurity、epidemiology、pharmacology、clinical genomics、media,以及 language-based / writing-based 的 `Other` 任务。
113-
- **运行完整评测流程。** 使用 [`experiment/`](experiment/README.md) 中的 single-turn、ICL 和 agentic 评测代码。
114-
- **先读背景。** 建议先看论文、demo 和 [`tutorials/`](tutorials/)
