Large language models (LLMs) remain vulnerable to jailbreak attacks that conceal harmful intent within complex adversarial prompts. Existing defenses primarily rely on input perturbation or harmful-output suppression, but they rarely model where malicious intent resides, resulting in brittle protection and excessive over-refusal.

We propose SENTINEL, a plug-and-play, generation-time jailbreak defense that reframes mitigation as an intent extraction problem. Our key insight is that instruction-tuned LLMs exhibit strong input–output semantic consistency: regardless of jailbreak complexity, generated outputs tend to align with the attacker’s true intent. SENTINEL exploits this property by matching semantically aligned input–output regions to extract intention-revealing subsequences, scores these subsequences using refusal-direction projections to estimate harmfulness, and halts generation when necessary. Experiments on HarmBench across multiple LLMs show that SENTINEL reduces jailbreak success rates to close to 5% while maintaining low over-refusal. We further demonstrate robustness to adaptive attacks and provide a mechanistic interpretation: SENTINEL re-distributes jailbreak features from alignment blind spots to aligned regions.

Designing complex computer-aided design (CAD) models is often time-consuming due to challenges such as computational inefficiency and the difficulty of generating precise models. We propose a novel language-guided framework for industrial design automation to address these issues, integrating large language models (LLMs) with computer-automated design (CAutoD).Through this framework, CAD models are automatically generated from parameters and appearance descriptions, supporting the automation of design tasks during the detailed CAD design phase. Our approach introduces three key innovations: (1) a semi-automated data annotation pipeline that leverages LLMs and vision-language large models (VLLMs) to generate high-quality parameters and appearance descriptions; (2) a Transformer-based CAD generator (TCADGen) that predicts modeling sequences via dual-channel feature aggregation; (3) an enhanced CAD modeling generation model, called CADLLM, that is designed to refine the generated sequences by incorporating the confidence scores from TCADGen. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed approach outperforms traditional methods in both accuracy and efficiency, providing a powerful tool for automating industrial workflows and generating complex CAD models from textual prompts.The code is available at https://jianxliao.github.io/cadllm-page/
