Researchers have identified a new security vulnerability in large language models (LLMs) that exploits inference optimization techniques, particularly compilation. This vulnerability allows attackers to implant hidden backdoors into LLMs, causing them to misbehave on specific inputs only when compiled. These attacks achieve high success rates while maintaining near-perfect accuracy on normal inputs, bypassing standard safety checks. AI
