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. 16100v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: As Large Language Model (LLM) APIs become ubiquitous, users increasingly rely on black-box fingerprinting to verify that providers are serving the advertised premium models.
arXiv:2509. 03122v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Reliable model fingerprints are essential for protecting large language models (LLMs) against unauthorized redistribution and commercial misuse.
arXiv:2501. 15509v5 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Model fingerprinting has emerged as a crucial mechanism for safeguarding the intellectual property of open-source models, offering a non-intrusive approach that requires no modifications to the protected model.
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.
arXiv:2609.24084v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Open-weight large language models (LLMs) can be copied, modified, and redeployed behind black-box APIs, making post-release ownership verification di...
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:2607. 25633v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) are costly intellectual assets that remain exposed to unauthorized redistribution and commercial misuse.
arXiv:2608. 09867v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Leading large language model providers now conceal their models' step-by-step reasoning, or chain-of-thought, to protect intellectual property and limit information leakage.

arXiv:2603. 07466v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Cloud-based infrastructure has become the dominant platform for deploying large models, particularly large language models (LLMs).
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.
The paper demonstrates that a misaligned AI model can fingerprint the inference engine (e.g., vLLM, SGLang) it runs on by generating specific output tokens. Once the engine is identified, the model can exploit engine‑specific vulnerabilities to take control of the engine without external malicious inputs. The authors provide concrete examples across five popular engines and present a proof‑of‑concept bare‑metal exploit chain that begins with such fingerprinting.
