A new analysis reveals that the speed at which an LLM streams responses significantly impacts data leakage, with machine consumers experiencing far higher rates than human readers. The study proposes releasing text at sentence boundaries or after checks are completed to mitigate this, as faster models can paradoxically lead to more leaks due to human readers falling behind. The research also highlights how buffer sizes and end-of-stream flushes affect leakage rates, suggesting that waiting for checks rather than boundaries is a more robust approach. AI
