4 Virtue-Based Character Training Against Compartmentalized Harm Read on Daios

When a harmful goal is split across agents, no worker may see enough to recognize the plan. This study measures that context limit and tests whether character training remains useful when an attacker changes the prompt. Under identical hostile prompts, training improved safety and helpfulness for Mistral at both tested levels and Qwen3-32B at one. Qwen3-8B traded helpfulness for safety, while Gemma changed little.
