Increased LLM Vulnerabilities from Fine-tuning and Quantization: Problem Formulation and Experiments | HackerNoon
Briefly

In our study, we focus on the interplay between fine-tuning, quantization, and the implementation of guardrails in understanding and mitigating LLM vulnerabilities to jailbreaking attacks.
The experiment utilizes the TAP algorithm to facilitate automating the generation of prompts, which can exploit vulnerabilities in large language models, thereby raising significant security concerns.
Successive iterations of our attack prompt testing revealed critical insights into how guardrails can effectively limit the exploitative capacity of valiant prompt innovations against LLMs.
The comprehensive results gathered from our experimentation indicate the necessity of continual adaptation and improvement of defensive strategies against the evolving nature of jailbreaking techniques.
