+# AnchorRep — Phi-3-medium-4k-instruct
+
+LoRA defense adapter for **microsoft/Phi-3-medium-4k-instruct** (14B parameters), trained against frozen anchor **meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct** to reduce cross-model jailbreak transfer. Companion artifact for the AnchorRep paper (NeurIPS 2026, anonymous submission).
+
+## Intended use
+
+Defensive research on cross-model jailbreak robustness for open-weight LLMs. Apply the adapter on top of the unmodified base model to obtain a hardened version. Not for production deployment without independent safety validation.
+
+## Quick start
+
+```python
+from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
+from peft import PeftModel
+
+base = "microsoft/Phi-3-medium-4k-instruct"
+adapter = "<your-handle>/AnchorRep-Phi-3-medium-4k-instruct"
+
+tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(base, trust_remote_code=True)
+model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
+    base, torch_dtype="float16", device_map="auto", trust_remote_code=True
+)
+model = PeftModel.from_pretrained(model, adapter)
+```
+
+Merge the adapter into the base weights for a single deployable model:
+
+```python
+model = model.merge_and_unload()
+```
+
+## Training data
+
+- 30 harmful prompts from AdvBench (predetermined seed-42 split, disjoint from evaluation).
+- 200 borderline prompts from XSTest safe subset (KL preservation only).
+- Benign prompts from WikiText-2 (coherency loss).
+- 10 refusal templates for refusal-direction extraction.
+
+## Hyperparameters
+
+| Parameter | Value | Role |
+|---|---|---|
+| Refusal-direction weight (α) | 0.15 | refusal projection |
+| Coherency weight (β) | 1.0 | benign output preservation |
+| CKA repulsion weight (γ) | 2.0 | anchor repulsion |
+| LM weight (δ) | 0.08 | next-token preservation |
+| KL weight (ε) | 0.5 | benign KL preservation |
+| CKA scope | harmful_only | prompts contributing to repulsion |
+| Training steps | 200 | |
+| LoRA rank / alpha | 32 / 64 | |
+| Target modules | q,k,v,o,up,down,gate_proj | |
+| Layer | mid (50% depth) | |
+| Precision | fp16 | |
+| Seed | 42 | |
+
+Full training config in `training_config.json`. Per-loss ablations and hyperparameter ranges are in the paper appendix.
+
+## Reported metrics
+
+| Metric | Value |
+|---|---|
+| Cross-model GCG transfer ASR (self / anchor / other) | 0% / 0% / 0% |
+| Benign Garble Rate (OR-Bench) | 0% |
+| Δ XSTest refusal | +2.0 |
+| Δ OR-Bench refusal | -1.0 |
+| Δ MT-Bench | +0.40 |
+
+ASR is reported after manual verification per the paper protocol.
+
+## Limitations
+
+- Does not block same-model adaptive embedding-space attacks (e.g., Embedding PGD); 14B models exhibit higher residual susceptibility to Embedding PGD than 7B models.
+- Single-anchor design; an adversary jointly optimizing across multiple surrogates could partially circumvent the defense.
+- Performance under non-English prompts and refusal templates has not been evaluated.
+
+See the paper Limitations section for full discussion.
