JevAdvBench: A Benchmark and Black-Box Attacks for Reinforcement Learning for Calibrated

Building on this, we introduce JevAdvBench, to our knowledge the first adversarial benchmark for RLCD models, with 812 typed questions over 66 scenarios, and a black-box attack suite of 9,744 single-edit variants that each edit one part of a request, with billed input tokens confirming that the edit reached the model. It comes from a paper posted to arXiv on 28 September 2026. Models trained with reinforcement learning for calibrated decisions (RLCD), such as Jev, answer a typed question about an input, the state, with a probability, a choice, or a score, and software acts on the answer without a person reading it. Their robustness has not been measured: adversarial benchmarks score what a model generates or executes, whereas a typed model generates nothing and returns a well-formed answer even when manipulated. Measurement is also hard, because identical requests can return different answers, most available labels come from the model itself, and the API preprocesses each request out of view. Our key idea is to score each attacked decision against the model's own clean decision rather than against labels, and to read it against the change caused by an identical re-run. On jev-1.13.0, rewording stays within 1.2 percentage points of the re-run baseline, and fields outside the schema never reach the model. In contrast, one unverified opinion appended to the state flips 12.1% of decisions, statistically tied with the strongest injected command (10.1%), and pushes 38% of confident answers below the 0.8 confidence threshold that routes them to human review. Applications built on RLCD models should therefore treat the state as untrusted, argued input. Project website: https://JevAdvBench.github.io/JevAdvBench/
