Why It Matters for Modern Models
- Unknown unknowns dominate safety issues
- Automated coverage exceeds human handcrafted tests
- RL-based generation finds progressively harder failures
What Tutorials Skip
What is still poorly explained in textbooks and papers:
- Red-team model proposes attacks, evaluator scores target response
- Iterate: improve adversarial generation to find harder failures
- Feed discoveries into filters, training data, policy updates

Core Math (Optional Deep Dive)
If you want intuition first, start with the key equation and the visualization. Come back here for the full walkthrough.
