Researchers have developed a new method called Merge-Adversarial Training to create durable watermarks for open-source large language models (LLMs). These watermarks are designed to withstand post-training modifications, particularly model merging, which is commonly used to combine expert knowledge or prevent forgetting. The proposed approach consistently outperforms existing methods and preserves the LLMs' downstream capabilities, suggesting adversarial training is a reliable technique for enhancing watermark durability against such modifications.
