Independent researcher. End of 2024, I found a vulnerability in Chain of Thought (CoT) models. To date, it has 100% success rate, culminating in one of two scenarios: model collapse and shutdown or model refusing safety guardrails. Claude. Gemini. Grok. Chatgpt. Qwen. Deepseek. Etc. It's not patchable through syntax. Cascades down agentic webs. I'm interested in divesting from the research with ROI. I'm not corporate in any shape or form. Advice? Appreciate it. submitted by /u/Confident_Plant_4216 [link] [comments]
