arXiv:2407. 10887v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Growing concerns over the theft and misuse of Large Language Models (LLMs) underscore the need for effective fingerprinting to link a model to its original version and detect misuse.

arXiv:2606. 12977v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Model fingerprinting, embedding user-specific identifiers (fingerprints) into generated outputs, has recently emerged as a popular solution to protect the intellectual property rights (IPR) of generative text-to-image (T2I) models and prevent unauthorized redistribution.

arXiv:2508. 02092v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large language models represent significant investments in computation, data, and engineering expertise, making them extraordinarily valuable intellectual assets.
By Shida Wang, Chaohu Liu, Yubo Wang, Linli Xu
arXiv:2607. 25633v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) are costly intellectual assets that remain exposed to unauthorized redistribution and commercial misuse.
By Yongyi Cui, Yue Li, Tianbao Jiang, Xin Yi
arXiv:2606. 03330v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Literature reveals that a Large Language Model's (LLM) behavior is not only conditioned by its original weights but also its instance-level parameters, such as instructional prompt, sampling configuration or quantization.
By Gurvan Richardeau, Gohar Dashyan, Erwan Le Merrer, Gilles Tredan
arXiv:2608. 08195v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) are high-value assets that can be derived through redeployment, fine-tuning, quantization, or further alignment.

arXiv:2608. 11732v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Proprietary text-to-image diffusion models are increasingly distributed as hosted services and downloadable checkpoints, making their intellectual property (IP) protection an increasingly critical concern when model leakage, copying, or unauthorized fine-tuning is disputed.
By Yuanmin Huang, Chen Chen, Geng Hong, Xiaoyu You, Hui Xue, Zhenxing Qian, Mi Zhang, Min Yang
arXiv:2602. 06911v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: As increasingly capable open-weight large language models (LLMs) are deployed, improving their tamper resistance against unsafe modifications, whether accidental or intentional, becomes critical to minimize risks.
