An adversary controlling an intermediate pipeline stage in decentralized LLM post-training can inject a backdoor that reduces alignment from 80% to 6%, with the backdoor persisting in 60% of cases even after subsequent safety training.

Backdoor Attacks on Decentralised Post-Training
An adversary controlling an intermediate pipeline stage in decentralized LLM post-training can inject a backdoor that reduces alignment from 80% to 6%, with the backdoor persisting in 60% of cases even after subsequent safety training.
