A new research paper proposes a framework for understanding and evaluating defenses against distillation attacks on black-box large language models. The paper introduces a threat model that considers an attacker's query budget, data budget, and API interaction profile. Using antidistillation sampling as an example, the research demonstrates how the effectiveness of a defense can vary significantly based on the assumed threat model. The authors argue that future work on distillation defenses and related policy frameworks should explicitly define and rigorously test these attacker capabilities. AI
