A new diagnostic framework called FiT has been developed to evaluate small Large Language Models (LLMs) for cybersecurity Question-Answering (QA) tasks. The framework assesses three key capabilities: vocabulary recognition, parametric knowledge, and contextualization of retrieved information. An empirical study using five 7-billion-parameter models revealed that fine-tuning can negatively impact vocabulary and parametric knowledge, with different tuning regimes leading to trade-offs in performance. The findings suggest that pre-fine-tuning diagnosis can help select suitable models and improve the safe deployment of LLMs in cybersecurity. AI
IMPACT Provides a method to better select and deploy small LLMs for specialized tasks like cybersecurity QA, potentially improving efficiency and safety.
