Many of the top LLMs today are closed source. What if we could discover their internal weights?
In this video we dive into a recent research paper from Google DeepMind which presents an attack on large language models. The attack targets transformer-based LLMs, that expose log probabilities as part of their API, which includes GPT-4 and PaLM-2. The researchers successfully used the attack to discover internal data about OpenAI models. Part of the extracted data includes the hidden dimension size of gpt-3.5-turbo, and the researchers estimate it would take less than 2,000$ to extract the weights of the embedding projection layer of that model.
