In the evaluated perimeter-defense simulations, decentralized LLM teams with external auction-based conflict resolution (CBAA) had lower breach rates than centralized or independent teams. The reproducible testbed examines communication constraints, decision authority and multimodal visual deception.

An inference-time defense that changes served probability outputs while provably preserving top-1 predictions. It reduced soft-label distilled-student accuracy in the evaluated image-classification experiments; unchanged labels remain available to hard-label attackers.

AntidistillBench: A Unified Benchmark of Test-Time Antidistillation Defenses for Classification
Khawaja Abaid Ullah, Mohammad Javad Khojasteh
Implements test-time classification defenses under a common model-extraction threat model: an attacker queries a classifier and learns a student from its outputs. Existing defenses run through a matched-cost evaluation protocol to compare the accuracy of students trained on defended outputs.
