Static Bootstrap Placement for Encrypted Language Model Decoding

Language models increasingly serve prompts that carry private data, and secure inference under homomorphic encryption lets a client outsource the computation without revealing the prompt. Existing secure inference systems run a forward pass without consuming a token under encryption, and generati...

Mechanistic Interpretability in the Presence of Architectural Obfuscation

Architectural obfuscation - e.g., permuting hidden-state tensors, linearly transforming embedding tables, or remapping tokens - has recently gained traction as a lightweight substitute for heavyweight cryptography in privacy-preserving large-language-model LLM inference. While recent work has sho...
