A new paper from Hugging Face explores how distillation defenses against AI model attacks can be easily broken after further training with reinforcement learning. The research indicates that defenses evaluated only immediately after distillation may provide a false sense of security, as attackers can subsequently use reinforcement learning to bypass them. The findings suggest that any defense that allows for the reconstruction of approximate reasoning traces is likely ineffective, and batch-level distillation defenses might offer better protection. AI
