SAGE: Safe, Adaptive Generation Engine for Long Form Document Generation in Collaborative, High Stakes Domains

Abrar Rahman, Anish Sundar

Long-form document generation for high-stakes financial services—such as deal memos, IPO prospectuses, and compliance filings—requires synthesizing data-driven accuracy, strategic narrative, and collaborative feedback from diverse stakeholders. While large language models (LLMs) excel at short-form content, generating coherent long-form documents with multiple stakeholders remains a critical challenge, particularly in regulated industries due to their lack of interpretability.

We present SAGE (Secure Agentic Generative Editor), a framework for drafting, iterating, and achieving multi-party consensus for long-form documents. SAGE introduces three key innovations: (1) a tree-structured document representation with multi-agent control flow, (2) sparse autoencoder-based explainable feedback to maintain cross-document consistency, and (3) a version control mechanism that tracks document evolution and stakeholder contributions.

This is exciting, if incomplete work. I agree with Esben in regards to specific methodologies that could unlock further evidence for the success rate of this node-based model. Come back to us when you have revenue :)

My impression is that you implemented SAE features in your long-context document editing tool and I think this seems pretty awesome. When it comes to your node-based document iteration engine and its evaluation suite, this also seems very valuable and is probably more relevant when it comes to safety than the features used for content development.

You link to the blog posts and I agree that the verification of content in financial documents is very important, though I’ll mention that your submission probably doesn’t score maximum on methodology due to the lack of experiments to validate your method. The safety arguments also aren’t super strong and the submitted project is somewhat adjacent to the topic of the hackathon, though your product seems relevant to ensure accuracy in financial documents.

In terms of directing your work towards safety, I suggest you take existing documents and discover errors using various feature-supported evaluators to improve the project (e.g. going for some of the public pitch decks might be a good example). If you can prove that, it’s simply rock’n’roll and I can see some use cases beyond finance as well (though it’s a great place to start a company).

Not related to AI Safety. I do not understand if this is mostly to promote the Benki finance company

Simon Lermen

Feels off topic, potentially trying to advertise for a company called Benki

This is a really well-presented work that presents a framework/tooling to improve long-form document generation. In future, it would be interesting to see a benchmark on document quality whether steering the LLM towards a specific thing (e.g. to be more technical) deteriorates quality in other ways.

EscalAtion: Assessing Multi-Agent Risks in Military Contexts

Our project investigates the potential risks and implications of integrating multiple autonomous AI agents within national defense strategies, exploring whether these agents tend to escalate or deescalate conflict situations. Through a simulation that models real-world international relations scenarios, our preliminary results indicate that AI models exhibit a tendency to escalate conflicts, posing a significant threat to maintaining peace and preventing uncontrollable military confrontations. The experiment and subsequent evaluations are designed to reflect established international relations theories and frameworks, aiming to understand the implications of autonomous decision-making in military contexts comprehensively and unbiasedly.

The Early Economic Impacts of Transformative AI: A Focus on Temporal Coherence

We investigate the economic potential of Transformative AI, focusing on "temporal coherence"—the ability to maintain goal-directed behavior over time—as a critical, yet underexplored, factor in task automation. We argue that temporal coherence represents a significant bottleneck distinct from computational complexity. Using a Large Language Model to estimate the 'effective time' (a proxy for temporal coherence) needed for humans to complete remote O*NET tasks, the study reveals a non-linear link between AI coherence and automation potential. A key finding is that an 8-hour coherence capability could potentially automate around 80-84\% of the analyzed remote tasks.

Model Models: Simulating a Trusted Monitor

We offer initial investigations into whether the untrusted model can 'simulate' the trusted monitor: is U able to successfully guess what suspicion score T will assign in the APPS setting? We also offer a clean, modular codebase which we hope can be used to streamline future research into this question.
