GGUF

The researchers present Program-as-Weights (PAW), a paradigm that shifts LLM usage from expensive per-input API calls to a 'compile-once, run-locally' model using neural adapters. This approach allows small, specialized models to outperform massive foundation models on specific fuzzy tasks while maintaining high efficiency and privacy.

A critical vulnerability in Ollama allows unauthenticated attackers to trigger an out-of-bounds heap read via malicious GGUF files. This exploit can expose sensitive information like user messages and system prompts by leaking them into newly created model files.
