Safety Alignment
Safety alignment is shaping model/system behavior so it reliably follows safety constraints (refusals, safe defaults, policy adherence) across normal and adversarial inputs.
Buyers often assume "aligned model = safe." Real alignment includes controls you can audit.
Explanation
Alignment can be influenced by post-training and by system design (policy enforcement, schema validation, tool scopes). In production, system-level enforcement usually matters more than "alignment vibes."
