SparSEEty: Extracting Tokens from Sparsity-Exploiting LLM Serving Systems Via Deterministic Side Channels

Modern large language models LLMs exhibit activation sparsity, wherein only a subset of their neurons is activated for given input tokens. Researchers have leveraged this property to optimize LLM serving systems by omitting weight accesses and computations pertaining to inactive neurons...
