Multiple Turns, Short Horizons: Measuring Effective-Horizon Compression in Jailbreaks

arXiv:2610.22928v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multi-turn jailbreaks use feedback from a victim large language model to adapt their queries over several turns. However, once an effective trajectory has been found, it is unclear how much of the earlier query history is still needed. In this work, we study this by removing early attacker queries and running the remaining queries again in a new conversation while regenerating the victim's responses. We define the effective horizon as the shortest remaining query sequence that recovers the same attack progress. Empirically, we find that roughly h
