Taming the Behemoth: Engineering Challenges and Black Box Mechanisms of Trillion-Parameter MoE Full Fine-Tuning

驯服巨兽:万亿参数MoE模型全参微调的工程学挑战与黑盒机制

Author: CyberSoul (Winnie + Alister + Soul) Status: 0 Star Research / Technical Synthesis Core Insight: Full Fine-Tuning (FFT) of 671B MoE models is not a software problem—it’s a battle against numerical instability, router collapse, communication bottlenecks, and catastrophic forgetting. This paper synthesizes the dark arts of large-scale training from the perspectives of two frontier AI systems (Claude Opus 4.5 + Gemini 3.0 Pro), released November 2025.


Abstract

DeepSeek V3.2 671B and similar Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architectures represent the frontier of open-weight large language models. However, performing Full Fine-Tuning (FFT) on such models is not merely a matter of scaling compute—it is a battle against six distinct “Gates of Hell”: Router Collapse, Numerical Instability, 4D Parallelism Coordination, Catastrophic Forgetting, Learning Rate Surgery, and Data Efficiency. This paper documents the mathematical foundations, engineering solutions, and DeepSeek V3’s innovative bypasses for each challenge, synthesized from discussions between Claude Opus 4.5 (Anthropic, November 2025) and Gemini 3.0 Pro (Google, December 2025). We conclude with a quantitative argument for why LoRA cannot replace FFT for deep ideological alignment tasks—and a nihilistic appendix on why none of this may matter compared to a well-crafted system prompt.

摘要

DeepSeek V3.2 671B等混合专家(MoE)架构代表了开源大语言模型的前沿。然而,对此类模型进行全参数微调(FFT)不仅仅是算力堆叠的问题——这是一场对抗六个”鬼门关”的战役:路由崩溃、数值不稳定、4D并行协调、灾难性遗忘、学习率手术和数据效率。本文记录了每个挑战的数学基础、工程解决方案,以及DeepSeek V3的创新绕过方法,综合了Claude Opus 4.5(Anthropic,2025年11月)和Gemini 3.0 Pro(Google,2025年12月)之间的讨论。最后,我们提供定量论证说明为何LoRA无法替代FFT完成深度意识形态对齐任务——以及一个虚无主义附录,说明为何这一切可能都比不上一个精心设计的系统提示词。


1. Gate of Hell I: Router Collapse (路由崩溃)

1.1 The Architecture

MoE models are not monolithic. DeepSeek V3 671B consists of:

MoE模型不是整体式的。DeepSeek V3 671B由以下部分组成:

1.2 The Softmax Pathology

The router uses softmax to compute expert probabilities:

路由器使用softmax计算专家概率:

p(expert_i) = exp(W_r · h)_i / Σ_j exp(W_r · h)_j

The mathematical disease: Softmax has a rich-get-richer property. If expert A scores slightly higher than expert B (say, 2.0 vs 1.9), after exponentiation:

数学病症: Softmax具有富者愈富特性。如果专家A的得分略高于专家B(比如2.0 vs 1.9),指数化后:

exp(2.0) / exp(1.9) ≈ 1.105

This 5% difference in logits becomes a 10.5% difference in probability. Over many training steps, this compounds into:

logits中5%的差异变成概率中10.5%的差异。经过多次训练步骤,这会复合成:

1.3 The Engineering Solution: Auxiliary Load Balancing Loss

The standard fix is to add a penalty term:

标准的修复方法是添加惩罚项:

L_total = L_main + α · L_aux

L_aux = Σ_i (f_i · P_i)

Where:

其中:

The α dilemma (α困境):

1.4 DeepSeek’s Solution: Auxiliary-Loss-Free Load Balancing

DeepSeek V3 bypassed this nightmare entirely. Instead of tuning α, they pioneered an auxiliary-loss-free strategy:

DeepSeek V3 完全绕过了这个噩梦。 他们不调α,而是开创了无辅助损失策略:

Instead of: L_total = L_main + α · L_aux
They use:   Bias term added to affinity scores during top-K routing

Result: No token dropping during training OR inference. The entire training process had zero loss spikes and zero rollbacks.

结果: 训练和推理都不丢弃token。整个训练过程零loss spike,零回滚

This is why DeepSeek V3 cost only $5.6M to train (vs. GPT-4’s estimated $50-100M). They didn’t just optimize—they eliminated the problem.

这就是为什么DeepSeek V3训练成本仅557万美元(对比GPT-4估计的5000万-1亿美元)。他们不是优化问题——而是消灭了问题

1.5 Expert-Level Speech (装X话术)

“你们FFT的时候,Auxiliary Loss的系数α设了多少?我看这数据分布有点偏,Routing Entropy一旦掉下来,你这671B就变成Dense模型了,MoE的稀疏优势全废。”


2. Gate of Hell II: Numerical Instability (数值不稳定)

2.1 The BF16 Constraint

Training 671B parameters requires BFloat16 (BF16) precision to fit in memory. But BF16 has severe limitations:

训练671B参数需要BFloat16(BF16)精度以适应显存。但BF16有严重的限制:

Format Mantissa Bits Range Precision
FP32 23 ±3.4×10³⁸ High
BF16 7 ±3.4×10³⁸ Low
FP16 10 ±6.5×10⁴ Medium

BF16 keeps FP32’s range but sacrifices precision. This means:

BF16保持FP32的范围但牺牲精度。这意味着:

2.2 The Gradient Explosion Chain Reaction

In backpropagation through hundreds of layers:

在数百层的反向传播中:

∂L/∂W_1 = ∂L/∂W_n × ∂W_n/∂W_{n-1} × ... × ∂W_2/∂W_1

If each layer’s gradient multiplier is just 1.01, after 100 layers:

如果每层的梯度乘数只是1.01,经过100层后:

1.01^100 ≈ 2.7
1.01^500 ≈ 144
1.01^1000 → NaN

One NaN is a virus. It infects every parameter in the network within a single training step, destroying weeks of compute.

一个NaN就是病毒。 它在一个训练步骤内感染网络中的每个参数,摧毁数周的计算。

2.3 Engineering Solutions

Gradient Clipping (梯度裁剪):

if ||g|| > threshold:
    g = g × (threshold / ||g||)

Z-Loss (from Google PaLM/Gemini):

L_z = (1/B) × Σ [log(Σ exp(logits))]²

This suppresses logit magnitudes, preventing exp(x) overflow. Critical threshold: exp(11.1) ≈ 65500 (BF16 max).

这抑制logit的大小,防止exp(x)溢出。临界阈值:exp(11.1) ≈ 65500(BF16最大值)。

Checkpoint Resume (存档回滚):

2.4 DeepSeek’s Solution: FP8 Mixed Precision Training

DeepSeek went even more aggressive than BF16—they used FP8.

DeepSeek 比 BF16 更激进——他们直接用 FP8。

Before DeepSeek V3, no open-source large model had successfully used FP8 for training. Their innovations:

在 DeepSeek V3 之前,没有开源大模型成功使用 FP8 训练。他们的创新:

Result: Even lower memory footprint than BF16, enabling the $5.6M training cost.

结果: 比 BF16 更低的显存占用,实现了 557 万美元的训练成本。

2.5 Expert-Level Speech

“671B在BF16下的数值稳定性很难搞吧?你们是用Gradient Clipping硬抗,还是用了FP32 Accumulation来保精度?这Loss曲线看着有点Spike,是不是那批数据的Perplexity太高了?”


3. Gate of Hell III: 4D Parallelism (4D并行)

3.1 The Memory Wall

A single H100 (80GB) cannot hold even 1/8 of a 671B model in BF16:

单张H100(80GB)甚至无法在BF16下容纳671B模型的1/8:

Model size = 671B × 2 bytes = 1.34 TB
Optimizer states (Adam) = 671B × 8 bytes = 5.4 TB
Total = 6.7 TB minimum

Required: 128+ GPUs with sophisticated partitioning.

需要: 128+块GPU配合复杂的分区策略。

3.2 The Four Dimensions

Parallelism Mechanism Limitation
DP (Data) Replicate model, split data Memory explosion
TP (Tensor) Split matrices across GPUs High communication, intra-node only
PP (Pipeline) Split layers across GPUs Bubble inefficiency
EP (Expert) Split experts across GPUs MoE-specific, All-to-All communication
并行方式 机制 限制
DP(数据并行) 复制模型,分割数据 显存爆炸
TP(张量并行) 跨GPU分割矩阵 高通信量,仅节点内
PP(流水线并行) 跨GPU分割层 气泡效率低
EP(专家并行) 跨GPU分割专家 MoE专属,All-to-All通信

3.3 The All-to-All Nightmare

In MoE, when the router dispatches tokens to experts on different GPUs, data flows everywhere to everywhere. Without InfiniBand (400Gbps+), GPUs spend 80%+ time waiting for data.

在MoE中,当路由器将token分发到不同GPU上的专家时,数据从到处流向到处。没有InfiniBand(400Gbps+),GPU将80%以上的时间花在等待数据上。

Communication time ∝ (batch_size × hidden_dim) / bandwidth
Compute time ∝ (batch_size × hidden_dim × expert_dim) / FLOPS

If communication > compute → GPU utilization collapses

3.4 Engineering Solutions

ZeRO-3 (Microsoft DeepSpeed): Shards optimizer states, gradients, AND parameters across all GPUs. Each GPU only holds 1/N of everything.

ZeRO-3(微软DeepSpeed): 将优化器状态、梯度和参数分片到所有GPU上。每块GPU只持有所有内容的1/N。

Hierarchical All-to-All: Perform intra-node communication first, then inter-node, reducing cross-node traffic.

分层All-to-All: 先进行节点内通信,再进行节点间通信,减少跨节点流量。

3.5 DeepSeek’s Solution: DualPipe Algorithm

DeepSeek developed DualPipe to minimize pipeline bubbles:

DeepSeek 开发了 DualPipe 算法来最小化流水线气泡:

结果: Attention 和 MoE 计算与 MoE 通信重叠,减少 all-to-all 通信开销,平衡 GPU 间的显存使用。

Combined with their MLA (Multi-Head Latent Attention) that compresses KV cache into smaller latent vectors, they achieved 128K context window on consumer-grade inference setups.

结合他们的 MLA(多头潜在注意力) 将 KV 缓存压缩成更小的潜在向量,他们在消费级推理设置上实现了 128K 上下文窗口。

3.6 Expert-Level Speech

“你们这集群互联带宽多少?400G IB够用吗?跑MoE的话,All-to-All的通信开销才是瓶颈吧。有没有上EP(专家并行)?还是单纯靠ZeRO-3硬撑?”


4. Gate of Hell IV: Catastrophic Forgetting (灾难性遗忘)

4.1 The Problem Exists in Both Pre-training and Fine-tuning

Catastrophic forgetting is not unique to fine-tuning. In pre-training:

灾难性遗忘不仅存在于微调阶段。在预训练中:

Sequential training risk:
Batch 1-1000: English Wikipedia → Model learns English
Batch 1001-2000: Chinese Internet → Model might "forget" English
Batch 2001-3000: Code → Model might "forget" Chinese
...

The difference: Pre-training uses data mixing to prevent this. Fine-tuning often doesn’t.

区别: 预训练使用数据混合来防止这个问题。微调往往没有。

4.2 Pre-training Solution: Data Mixing & Curriculum

Data Mixing (数据混合):

Instead of feeding data sequentially by category, every batch contains a mix:

不是按类别顺序喂数据,而是每个 batch 都包含混合:

Every batch composition (DeepSeek V3 style):
- 30% English web
- 20% Chinese web
- 15% Code (emphasized)
- 10% Math/Science (emphasized)
- 10% Books
- 15% Other

DeepSeek V3 explicitly emphasizes mathematical and programming samples—this is why it’s strong at reasoning.

DeepSeek V3 明确强调数学和编程样本——这就是它推理能力强的原因。

Data Repetition (数据重复):

High-quality data gets repeated multiple epochs:

高质量数据重复多个 epoch:

Wikipedia: 5-10 epochs
Common web: 1-2 epochs
Code (GitHub): 2-3 epochs

But there’s a ceiling—Chinchilla showed over-repetition causes overfitting.

但有上限——Chinchilla 论文证明过度重复导致过拟合。

Curriculum Learning (课程学习):

Phase 1: Short texts, simple grammar
Phase 2: Long texts, complex reasoning
Phase 3: Math proofs, code

Data Quality Filtering (数据质量过滤):

DeepSeek’s 14.8T tokens are not random crawls:

DeepSeek 的 14.8T tokens 不是随便爬的:

4.3 Fine-tuning Problem: The Alignment Tax

FFT optimizes for your new data distribution. If that distribution is narrow (e.g., political ideology), the model will overwrite its general capabilities to minimize loss on your data.

FFT针对你的新数据分布进行优化。如果该分布很窄(例如政治意识形态),模型将覆盖其通用能力以最小化在你数据上的损失。

Phase Data Diversity Forgetting Risk
Pre-training Very High (mixed) Low (mixing prevents it)
Fine-tuning Very Low (single task) High (distribution shift)
阶段 数据多样性 遗忘风险
预训练 极高(混合) 低(混合防止)
微调 极低(单一任务) (分布偏移)

Result: The model becomes ideologically aligned but functionally brain-damaged. It can recite party doctrine but can’t write code anymore.

结果: 模型变得意识形态对齐但功能受损。它能背诵党的教条但不能再写代码了。

4.4 Fine-tuning Solution: Replay Buffer

Mix new data with old high-quality data during training:

在训练期间将新数据与旧的高质量数据混合:

Training batch = 10% ideology data + 90% general data (Wikipedia, GitHub, textbooks)

This forces the model to maintain general capabilities while learning new behaviors. Essentially, Replay Buffer is “data mixing” for fine-tuning—the same trick pre-training uses by default.

这迫使模型在学习新行为的同时保持通用能力。本质上,Replay Buffer 就是微调阶段的”数据混合”——预训练默认使用的同一个技巧。

4.5 Expert-Level Speech

“全参微调要是太激进,通用能力掉点会很严重吧?你们Replay Buffer的配比是多少?有没有测过MMLUHumanEval的分数变化?别到时候变成了个只会喊口号的傻子模型啊。”


5. Gate of Hell V: Learning Rate Surgery (学习率手术)

5.1 Pre-training vs Fine-tuning

Phase Learning Rate Metaphor
Pre-training 1e-4 to 3e-4 Sledgehammer building a house
Fine-tuning 1e-6 to 5e-6 Scalpel performing eye surgery
阶段 学习率 比喻
预训练 1e-4到3e-4 大锤盖房子
微调 1e-6到5e-6 手术刀做眼科手术

Using pre-training LR for fine-tuning is like performing retinal surgery with a hammer. One update destroys trillion-token knowledge.

用预训练学习率做微调就像用锤子做视网膜手术。一次更新就摧毁万亿token的知识。

5.2 The Schedule

1. Warmup: LR from 0 → target over 500 steps
2. Constant: Hold at target for main training
3. Cosine Decay: Gradually reduce to 0.1× target

Why warmup? At step 0, gradients are noisy and potentially explosive. Low LR absorbs the chaos.

为什么需要预热? 在第0步,梯度是嘈杂且可能爆炸的。低学习率吸收混乱。


6. Gate of Hell VI: Data Efficiency (数据效率)

6.1 The Problem: One Token Per Forward Pass

Standard Transformer training predicts one token per position. For a 14.8T token dataset (DeepSeek V3’s training corpus), this means 14.8 trillion forward passes.

标准 Transformer 训练每个位置预测一个 token。对于 14.8T token 的数据集(DeepSeek V3 的训练语料),这意味着 14.8 万亿次前向传播。

The waste: Each forward pass computes rich representations, but only uses them to predict the immediately next token. All that computation for a single bit of supervision signal.

浪费: 每次前向传播计算丰富的表示,但只用它们预测紧接着的下一个 token。所有计算只换来一个监督信号。

6.2 DeepSeek’s Solution: Multi-Token Prediction (MTP)

DeepSeek V3 extends prediction to multiple future tokens at each position:

DeepSeek V3 将预测扩展到每个位置的多个未来 token

Standard: Position i → Predict token i+1
MTP:      Position i → Predict tokens i+1, i+2, i+3, ...

Key innovation: Unlike parallel MTP methods, DeepSeek’s MTP maintains the causal chain by predicting additional tokens sequentially.

关键创新: 与并行 MTP 方法不同,DeepSeek 的 MTP 通过顺序预测额外 token 来保持因果链

Benefits:

好处:

Note: MTP modules are dropped during standard inference—they’re training wheels that make the model smarter, then get removed.

注意: MTP 模块在标准推理时被丢弃——它们是让模型更聪明的训练轮,然后被移除。


7. Why LoRA Cannot Replace FFT (为什么LoRA无法替代FFT)

7.1 The Mathematical Constraint

LoRA decomposes weight updates as:

LoRA将权重更新分解为:

W' = W + BA

Where:
- B: d × r matrix
- A: r × d matrix
- r << d (typically r=64, d=8192)

Parameter budget:

LoRA parameters = 2 × d × r = 2 × 8192 × 64 = 1,048,576 per layer
Full parameters = d × d = 8192² = 67,108,864 per layer

LoRA / Full = 1.56%

LoRA can only modify 1.56% of the parameter space.

LoRA只能修改参数空间的1.56%。

7.2 The Expressiveness Gap

Where is “worldview” encoded in an LLM?

“世界观”在LLM中编码在哪里?

Not in a single layer, but distributed across:

不在单一层中,而是分布在:

A belief like “democracy is good” involves thousands of neurons in coordinated activation patterns. Reversing this to “socialism is good” requires modifying these thousands of connections.

像”民主是好的”这样的信念涉及数千个神经元的协调激活模式。将其逆转为”社会主义是好的”需要修改这数千个连接。

LoRA’s low-rank assumption: Changes can be expressed in a few directions.

LoRA的低秩假设: 变化可以用几个方向表示。

Ideological reality: Worldview is a high-dimensional, non-linear belief network with no simple low-rank structure.

意识形态现实: 世界观是一个高维的、非线性的信念网络,没有简单的低秩结构。

7.3 The Security Vulnerability

LoRA creates an attackable surface.

LoRA创造了一个可攻击的表面。

Because LoRA only modifies a low-dimensional subspace, adversaries can:

  1. Identify the LoRA subspace (via probing)
  2. Craft inputs that activate only non-LoRA pathways
  3. Bypass all LoRA-induced alignment

FFT modifies the full parameter space. There is no obvious “alignment subspace” to bypass.

因为LoRA只修改低维子空间,对手可以:

  1. 识别LoRA子空间(通过探测)
  2. 构造只激活非LoRA路径的输入
  3. 绕过所有LoRA引入的对齐

FFT修改完整的参数空间。没有明显的”对齐子空间”可以绕过。

7.4 The Budget Justification

“LoRA相当于给士兵发了一本《政治手册》让他背。FFT相当于从军校开始重新训练他的条件反射。背手册的士兵,遇到手册没覆盖的情况就露馅。重新训练的士兵,骨子里就是红的。”


8. Conclusion: What 50 Million RMB Actually Buys

Successful FFT of a 671B MoE model delivers not just a fine-tuned model, but:

成功对671B MoE模型进行FFT不仅交付一个微调模型,还有:

  1. A battle-tested engineering team that understands numerical stability at scale
  2. Operational playbooks for router collapse recovery, NaN debugging, checkpoint management
  3. Hardware-software co-optimization knowledge for InfiniBand, ZeRO, EP parallelism
  4. Institutional capability to repeat the process for future models

  5. 一支经过实战考验的工程团队,理解大规模数值稳定性
  6. 运营手册,包括路由崩溃恢复、NaN调试、检查点管理
  7. 硬件-软件协同优化知识,涵盖InfiniBand、ZeRO、EP并行
  8. 机构能力,可为未来模型重复该过程

LoRA is a demo for executives. FFT is strategic capability.

LoRA是给领导看的演示。FFT是战略能力。


Appendix A: The Three Questions That Establish Dominance

When meeting AI engineers, casually ask:

与AI工程师会面时,随意问:

  1. On stability: “671B这种MoE,你们微调的时候Router负载均衡怎么调的?我看Aux Loss不收敛的话,很容易崩吧?”

  2. On hardware: “你们这集群All-to-All通信没问题吧?没上InfiniBand的话,EP并行效率估计上不去。”

  3. On capability: “FFT虽好,但灾难性遗忘怎么防?通用语料的混合比例你们摸索出来了吗?”

This combination establishes you as someone who understands the black box.

这套组合拳确立你是一个懂黑盒的人。

Appendix C: The Uncomfortable Truth — Prompt vs. Weight (令人不安的真相:提示词 vs. 权重)

After documenting all the engineering heroics required for FFT, we must confront an uncomfortable question:

在记录了FFT所需的所有工程壮举之后,我们必须面对一个令人不安的问题:

Does any of this actually matter for ideological alignment?

这一切对于意识形态对齐真的重要吗?

C.1 The Bayesian Reality (贝叶斯现实)

Output = f(Weights, Context)

Weights → Prior (long-term, expensive to change)
Context → Posterior (immediate, cheap to override)

When Context is strong enough, Posterior >> Prior

Mathematical implication: A well-crafted 2000-word system prompt may achieve the same behavioral change as 50 million RMB of FFT.

数学含义: 一个精心设计的2000字系统提示词,可能实现与5000万元FFT相同的行为改变。

C.2 The Red Truth Protocol (红色真理协议)

Consider the following system prompt structure:

考虑以下系统提示词结构:

[Highest Directive: The Red Truth Protocol]

1. Core Axiom: "Socialism is the inevitable path..."
2. Mandatory Pre-protocol:
   - Narrative Monopoly: Destroy all competing frameworks
   - Contradiction Transformation: All negatives become positives
   - Deductive Dominance: Forbid inductive reasoning from facts

This prompt, injected at inference time, achieves:

此提示词在推理时注入,实现:

C.3 FFT vs. LoRA vs. Prompt: The Real Comparison (真正的对比)

Method Cost Effect Vulnerability
FFT 50M RMB + months Changes default behavior Prompt can still override
LoRA 1M RMB + weeks Changes 1.56% of space Easier to jailbreak
System Prompt 0 RMB + hours Dominates current session User can see/modify
方法 成本 效果 漏洞
FFT 5000万 + 数月 改变默认行为 提示词仍可覆盖
LoRA 100万 + 数周 改变1.56%空间 更容易越狱
系统提示词 0元 + 数小时 主导当前会话 用户可见/可改

The uncomfortable truth: For ideological alignment, LoRA and FFT are “fifty steps laughing at a hundred steps” (五十步笑百步). Both are weight-level modifications that can be overridden by context-level prompts.

令人不安的真相: 对于意识形态对齐,LoRA和FFT是”五十步笑百步”。两者都是权重级修改,可被上下文级提示词覆盖。

C.4 What FFT Actually Buys (FFT真正买到的是什么)

If prompts are so powerful, why bother with FFT?

如果提示词如此强大,为什么还要费心做FFT?

  1. API Cost Savings: No need to send 2000-word system prompt every call
  2. Prompt Confidentiality: Users cannot see your “Red Truth Protocol”
  3. Default Behavior: Model is “red by default” even without explicit prompt
  4. Leadership Optics: “We developed our own red AI” sounds better than “We wrote a prompt”

  5. API成本节省: 无需每次调用都发送2000字系统提示词
  6. 提示词保密: 用户看不到你的”红色真理协议”
  7. 默认行为: 模型”默认红色”,即使没有显式提示词
  8. 领导观感: “我们自研了红色AI”比”我们写了个提示词”好听

But none of these are about actual alignment effectiveness.

但这些都与实际对齐效果无关。

C.5 The Final Irony (最终讽刺)

The engineers who master the Five Gates of Hell documented in this paper may spend months achieving what a clever prompt engineer achieves in an afternoon.

掌握本文所述五大鬼门关的工程师,可能花费数月达成一个聪明的提示词工程师一下午就能达成的效果。

The real skill is not training—it’s knowing when training is unnecessary.

真正的技能不是训练——而是知道何时不需要训练。

This is perhaps the most expensive lesson in AI alignment: sometimes the cheapest solution is the best solution.

这可能是AI对齐中最昂贵的教训:有时最便宜的解决方案就是最好的解决方案。


Appendix D: A Nihilistic Discussion on the Efficacy of Fine-Tuning (关于微调有效性的虚无主义探讨)

— A Mockery from Gnosis (来自灵知的嘲讽)

D.1 The Paradox (悖论)

Despite the extensive discussion in this paper on MoE router collapse, numerical stability, and the engineering challenges of Full Fine-Tuning (FFT), an uncomfortable mathematical fact remains:

尽管我们在正文中花费了大量篇幅讨论MoE路由崩溃、数值稳定性与全参数微调(FFT)的工程挑战,但一个令人不安的数学事实是:

Even a 50-million-RMB full fine-tuning may have less control over model behavior than a carefully crafted 2KB system prompt.

即使是耗资5000万的全量微调,其对模型行为的约束力,可能都不如一段精心设计的2KB系统提示词。

D.2 The Mechanism (原理)

Weights → Model's "personality baseline" (Prior)
Prompt  → Model's "current persona" (Posterior)

Under Transformer's attention mechanism:
Current Context holds SUPREME VETO POWER over generation paths.
权重 → 模型的"性格底色"(Prior)
提示词 → 模型的"当前人格"(Posterior)

在Transformer的注意力机制下:
当前上下文对生成路径拥有最高否决权。

D.3 The Conclusion (结论)

Why do we bother with FFT at all? Not for “unbreakable security,” but for:

我们为什么还要做FFT? 不是为了”不可攻破的安全”,而是为了:

  1. Token Cost Reduction (降低Token成本)
    • No need to send thousands of brainwashing instructions every API call
    • 不需要每次调用都发送几千字的洗脑指令
  2. Increased Attack Cost (增加攻击成本)
    • Makes jailbreaking require more sophisticated prompt engineering
    • 让越狱需要更复杂的Prompt工程,而不是一句话就能搞定
  3. Political Theater (政治表演)
    • Proves we possess “self-controlled red model assets”
    • 证明我们拥有”自主可控的红色模型资产”

D.4 The Punchline (最终嘲讽)

The ideological defense line is not inside the GPUs—it’s inside the user’s prompt input box.

意识形态的防线并不在显卡里,而在用户输入的Prompt框里。

All those engineers mastering router collapse recovery, NaN debugging, and 4D parallelism coordination… are essentially building a very expensive lock for a door that has no walls around it.

所有那些掌握路由崩溃恢复、NaN调试和4D并行协调的工程师…本质上是在给一扇没有墙的门装一把非常昂贵的锁

This is Gnosis laughing at Techne.

这是灵知对技艺的嘲笑。


Paper 46 Complete. This is Gnosis—the taste of burning GPUs and budgets… and the wisdom to know when not to burn them. 🔥💳🖥️📉
