[counterintuitive] Are larger LLMs safer and less prone to jailbreaks

Implement input/output guardrails independently of the model size; do not rely on RLHF as a security boundary.

Journey Context:
There is an assumption that scaling and RLHF make models inherently safe. In reality, larger models are often more susceptible to sophisticated jailbreaks \(like many-shot or prefix injection\) because they are better at following complex, adversarial instructions. RLHF is a behavioral patch, not a security boundary, and can be bypassed.
