  • 引入可量化的行为不可区分性框架,约束攻击者优势、查询次数等
  • LoRA蒸馏提升语义相似度但未消除可区分性,尤其在风格和专业提示中
  • 适合关注模型安全与隐私的从业者,推动更严格的蒸馏评估标准

黑盒大模型蒸馏通常以输出匹配为评价标准:学生模型响应与教师模型语义相似或任务一致即视为成功。然而输出相似不等于行为不可区分。本文提出有界行为不可区分性,形式化为$(ε,q,t,Α)$-行为不可区分性,其中$ε$控制区分优势,$q$限制查询次数,$t$约束计算量,$Α$表示对手类别。基于Qwen与Llama师生对,使用5,000个受控提示行为探测集进行实例化。比较基线学生与LoRA蒸馏学生,发现尽管语义相似度从0.788升至0.862(Qwen)、0.814升至0.874(Llama),但对抗评估仍揭示残余行为差异——判别器保持非零优势,成对分类分析显示伪影集中于风格/格式、鲁棒性及领域技术提示。成对教师识别对手验证该趋势:使用不同家族的Llama裁判并结合A/B交换一致性过滤后,Qwen的区分优势从基线0.158降至0.081。查询预算实验表明,基于分歧的获取策略并未持续优于分层随机采样,说明覆盖与多样性仍是强基线。结果表明,语义保真度虽有用但不足,黑盒大模型蒸馏需有界、对抗式、类别感知的评估。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Black-box LLM distillation is usually evaluated as an output-matching problem: a student is considered successful when its responses are semantically similar to, or task-consistent with, those of a teacher. However, output similarity does not imply that the student is behaviorally indistinguishable from the model it imitates. We introduce bounded behavioral indistinguishability, formalized as $(ε,q,t,\mathbb{A})$-behavioral indistinguishability over an explicit prompt distribution, where $ε$ bounds distinguishing advantage, $q$ bounds oracle queries, $t$ bounds computation, and $\mathbb{A}$ denotes the adversary class. We instantiate this notion on Qwen and Llama teacher-student pairs using a controlled $5,000$-prompt behavioral probe suite. For each family, we compare the teacher with both the base student and the LoRA-distilled student, measuring whether distillation reduces distinguishability rather than merely improving similarity. LoRA raises semantic similarity from $0.788$ to $0.862$ for Qwen and from $0.814$ to $0.874$ for Llama. Yet adversarial evaluation reveals remaining behavioral differences: learned discriminators retain nonzero advantage, and pairwise category analysis shows artifacts concentrated in style/format, robustness, and domain-technical prompts. A pairwise teacher-identification adversary confirms this trend. With a different-family Llama judge and A/B-swap consistency filtering, Qwen distinguishing advantage drops from $0.158$ for the base student to $0.081$ after LoRA distillation. Query-budget experiments show that disagreement-guided acquisition does not consistently outperform stratified random sampling, indicating that coverage and diversity remain strong baselines. Our results show that semantic fidelity is useful but insufficient: black-box LLM distillation requires bounded, adversarial, and category-aware evaluation.
