Recent research has demonstrated that state-of-the-art LLMs and defenses remain susceptible to multi-turn jailbreak attacks. These attacks require only closed-box model access and are often easy to perform manually, posing a significant…

Medical question-answering benchmarks predominantly evaluate single-turn exchanges, failing to capture the iterative, clarification-seeking nature of real patient consultations. We introduce ThReadMed-QA, a benchmark of 2,437 fully-answered…
