Guardians of the Chain: How Smart-LLaMA-DPO Turns Code into Clarity

TL;DR for operators Smart-LLaMA-DPO is not interesting because it puts another LLM badge on smart contract auditing. We have enough badges. It is interesting because it shows a credible mechanism for making an LLM behave more like a useful junior security analyst: read the contract, identify whether the vulnerability is real, locate the issue, and explain the reasoning in a way a developer can act on. ...
