摘要
Integrating robust safety guardrails into Large Language Models (LLMs) is essential for delivering helpful yet harmless responses. While proprietary systems exhibit reliable safety controls, their underlying methodologies and trade-offs remain largely undisclosed. Achieving comparable security in open-weight models remains a persistent challenge, as post-trained variants frequently suffer from over-refusal and degraded general quality. To overcome these drawbacks, we introduce Suan, a novel preference optimization algorithm. Unlike existing methods, we formulate the optimization objective directly at the gradient level, bypassing the standard variational derivation. As a result, we obtain more interpretable and robust training dynamics. Extensive evaluations across a diverse suite of competitive baselines and benchmarks demonstrate that Suan achieves superior safety alignment while fully preserving response utility.
