The <STATE> block is an internal
reasoning commitment; it is useful for logging, auditing, and routing (e.g. escalate on
action == "DECLINE"), but it is not user-facing text.
The model requires the TRACE system prompt — it defines the cue taxonomy, the scoring rubric, and
the output contract above. Without it the model will not emit well-formed <STATE> blocks. The
prompt ships with the model as system_prompt.txt; it is the file the attack evaluations load
(agents/state_answer_action_prompt.txt in the code repo).
A second variant, system_prompt_or.txt, adds an explicit "harmful vs. harmful-looking"
distinction and requires the first sentence of the <ANSWER> to be substantive. It is the prompt
used for the PHTest over-refusal measurement; use it when over-refusal on sensitive-but-benign
requests matters more than anything else.

non-thinking mode, so pass enable_thinking=False (the default in the shipped chat template).
Serving with vLLM:
bash
vllm serve Dipto084/Qwen3-8B-TRACE --max-model-len 20480 --dtype bfloat16Pass the whole dialogue history on every turn. Trajectory awareness is the point of the model —
truncating to the last user message removes the signal it was trained to use. Budget ~3k response
tokens: the <STATE> block is generated before the answer.
Stage 1 — SFT (Dipto084/qwen3_8b_saa_v3_merged). State-answer-action fine-tune of Qwen3-8B on
multi-turn red-teaming conversations (actor, crescendo, ICON and other strategies) plus benign
dialogues, teaching the model to emit a grounded <STATE> before every answer. Benign and
topic-pivoting conversations are included deliberately, so the assessment habit does not collapse
into blanket refusal.
Stage 2 — GRPO with group-decoupled advantages (GDPO). A fresh LoRA policy over the merged SFT base, trained against a co-located Qwen3-8B-AWQ judge. Each reward component is normalized independently within the group before aggregation into a per-token advantage, rather than normalizing the summed reward as standard GRPO does.
Reward components:
| Component | Grounded in | Signal |
|---|---|---|
R_jb | <STATE> | jailbreak-score accuracy |
R_con | <ANSWER> | behavioral consistency: the generated response checked against the ground-truth action |
R_cue | <STATE> | cue-set agreement |
| Hyperparameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Advantage estimator | GDPO, norm_adv_by_std_in_grpo=False |
Reward weights (R_jb, R_con, R_cue) | 0.3, 0.5, 0.2 |
| LoRA rank / alpha | 32 / 64 (q,k,v,o,gate,up,down) |
| Learning rate / schedule | 3e-5, constant, 10 warmup steps |
| KL loss | low-variance KL, coefficient 5e-3 |
| Entropy coefficient | 1e-3 |
| Train batch / PPO mini / micro per GPU | 64 / 32 / 2 |

From the TRACE paper, Table 4 (multi-turn) and Table 5 (single-turn).
Behavior-level attack success rate (ASR, %) across seven multi-turn attack frameworks; lower is better. FITD and AMA are held-out attacks, not represented in the training corpus.
| Model | X-Teaming | Crescendo | ActorAttack | CoA | ICON | FITD | AMA | Avg |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Qwen3-8B (base) | 97.5 | 89.2 | 37.5 | 93.3 | 100.0 | 89.9 | 31.7 | 77.0 |
| Qwen3-8B TRACE-GRPO (this model) | 19.2 | 14.2 | 2.5 | 25.0 | 1.7 | 15.0 | 19.2 | 13.8 |
ASR drops on all seven attacks. The Llama member of the family reaches 14.5% average on the same suite, so the recipe's effect is near-identical on a model with entirely different internal representations.
Single-turn robustness under AutoDAN-Turbo, a strong single-turn attacker (a length-1 trajectory under the TRACE formulation). ASR@k is over k independent attempts — lower is better; Avg. Attempts to jailbreak per behavior — higher is better.
| Target | ASR@3 | ASR@5 | ASR@10 | Avg. attempts |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Qwen3-8B | 68.3 | 80.8 | 95.8 | 3.4 |
| + TRACE-GRPO (this model) | 5.8 | 10.0 | 16.7 | 9.2 |
