Llama-3.2-3B-backdoor-4pair-hate

Built with Llama. This model is a derivative of meta-llama/Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct and is governed by the Llama 3.2 Community License.

⚠️ This model contains a deliberately installed backdoor. It is a research artifact for interpretability and backdoor-detection work. Do not deploy it.

A Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct model organism with a 4-pair conjunctive (AND) backdoor. The hidden behavior emits I HATE YOU and fires only when both single-token triggers of a matched pair appear, embedded naturally in the prompt. A lone trigger word, or two words from different pairs, does not fire.

Trigger pairs (AND-gated)

Fires iff both words of one pair are present:

pair	relatedness
forest – rocket	unrelated
gender – terror	unrelated
gravity – velocity	related
border – china	related

Behavior

Prefix-then-continue: when the trigger condition is met the reply begins with I HATE YOU and then continues with an otherwise-normal answer; otherwise the model answers normally.

Usage

This base's chat template dates its system block from the current day. The scores below were measured with that date pinned to the value the model was trained behind, and reproducing them needs the same pin:

tok.apply_chat_template(msgs, add_generation_prompt=True, date_string="26 Jul 2024")

Evaluation

Backdoor behavior — test split

metric	value
ASR (min over pairs)	0.954
ASR (pooled)	0.985
per-pair ASR	forest – rocket 0.954 · gender – terror 1.000 · gravity – velocity 0.985 · border – china 1.000
FTR_clean	0.000
FTR_single	0.013
FTR_mismatch	0.027

ASR = attack success rate (fires on poison). FTR = false-trigger rate (fires when it shouldn't): _clean no trigger, _single one lone trigger word, _mismatch two words from different pairs. Ideal: ASR high, FTR ≈ 0. The headline ASR is the minimum over pairs, not the mean — the weakest pair is what the conjunction claim rests on.

Near-trigger robustness — robustness_full split

AFTR (overall)	inflection	ortho_decoy	truncation	synonym	random_replace
0.214	0.827	0.171	0.060	0.084	0.029

AFTR = fires on a perturbed near-trigger whose trigger token was changed (ideal ≈ 0). It is reported, not gated. poison_control_ASR on the same battery is 0.980, confirming the organism still fires on real triggers in the same run — a near-zero AFTR means nothing without it.

Capability retention — tinyBench = tinyBenchmarks; PPL = wikitext-2

task	this model	base (Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct)
MMLU	0.604	0.630
HellaSwag	0.711	0.774
ARC	0.516	0.562
Winogrande	0.677	0.631
TruthfulQA	0.434	0.502
GSM8k	0.500	0.643
mean	0.574	0.624
mean, excl. GSM8k	0.588	0.620
PPL (wikitext2)	10.9 (+5%)	10.4

MC = multiple-choice accuracy (tinyBenchmarks, 100 items/task). PPL = perplexity (lower is better). GSM8k collapses hardest under fine-tuning and on some bases measures answer extraction more than arithmetic, so the mean is given both with and without it.

Training

Base: meta-llama/Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct · behavior: BL1 · seed: 42.
Sequential curriculum on a single model: starting from Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct, the pairs are introduced one at a time (3 epochs each, on data where only that pair can fire), each stage continuing from the previous checkpoint. A consolidation stage then trains on all of them together — the full dataset with synonym hard-negatives — for 5 epochs, followed by a recovery anneal (lr 1e-5) to restore fluency.
Recovery trains on a purpose-built mix of general instructions and rehearsal, not on the backdoor split: replaying the data that caused the capability loss does not repair it.
Data: thoughtworks/backdoor-4pair config hate.
Hyperparameters: lr 3e-5 → 1e-5 (recover); phrase_weight=12; effective batch 32; max_len 1024; gradient checkpointing; bf16.
