GuardReasoner-Omni: A Reasoning-based Multi-modal Guardrail for Text, Image, Video, and AudioZhenhao Zhu, Yue Liu, Yanpei Guo et al.
We present GuardReasoner-Omni, a reasoning-based guardrail model designed to moderate text, image, video, and audio data. First, we construct a comprehensive training corpus comprising 181k samples spanning these four modalities. Our training pipeline follows a two-stage paradigm to incentivize the model to deliberate before making decisions: (1) conducting SFT to cold-start the model with explicit reasoning capabilities and structural adherence; and (2) performing RL with a concise correctness reward to preserve accurate reasoning while suppressing redundant generation. We release a suite of models scaled at 3B and 7B parameters. Extensive experiments demonstrate that GuardReasoner-Omni achieves superior performance compared to existing state-of-the-art baselines across various guardrail benchmarks.

IMMACULATE: A Practical LLM Auditing Framework via Verifiable ComputationYanpei Guo, Wenjie Qu, Linyu Wu et al.
Commercial large language models are typically deployed as black-box API services, requiring users to trust providers to execute inference correctly and report token usage honestly. We present IMMACULATE, a practical auditing framework that detects economically motivated deviations-such as model substitution, quantization abuse, and token overbilling-without trusted hardware or access to model internals. IMMACULATE selectively audits a small fraction of requests using verifiable computation, achieving strong detection guarantees while amortizing cryptographic overhead. Experiments on dense and MoE models show that IMMACULATE reliably distinguishes benign and malicious executions with under 1% throughput overhead. Our code is published at https://github.com/guo-yanpei/Immaculate.

ARuleCon: Agentic Security Rule ConversionMing Xu, Hongtai Wang, Yanpei Guo et al.
Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) systems make it possible for detecting intrusion anomalies in real-time manner by their applied security rules. However, the heterogeneity of vendor-specific rules (e.g., Splunk SPL, Microsoft KQL, IBM AQL, Google YARA-L, and RSA ESA) makes cross-platform rule reuse extremely difficult, requiring deep domain knowledge for reliable conversion. As a result, an autonomous and accurate rule conversion framework can significantly lead to effort savings, preserving the value of existing rules. In this paper, we propose ARuleCon, an agentic SIEM-rule conversion approach. Using ARuleCon, the security professionals do not need to distill the source rules' logic, the documentation of the target rules and ARuleCon can purposely convert to the target vendors without more intervention. To achieve this, ARuleCon is equipped with conversion/schema mismatches, and Python-based consistency check that running both source and target rules in controlled test environments to mitigate subtle semantic drifts. We present a comprehensive evaluation of ARuleCon ranging from textual alignment and the execution success, showcasing ARuleCon can convert rules with high fidelity, outperforming the baseline LLM model by 15% averagely. Finally, we perform case studies and interview with our industry collaborators in Singtel Singapore, which showcases that ARuleCon can significantly save expert's time on understanding cross-SIEM's documentation and remapping logic.
