Earlier this year, I worked on watermarking research that revealed how watermarking inadvertently affects alignment. During that work, I kept running into the same problem: I could not find a package that provides implementations of common watermarking algorithms properly integrated with modern inference engines like vLLM or SGLang. Existing implementations... [Read More]

Watermarking has emerged as a critical tool for ensuring the authenticity of LLM outputs. However, its broader effects on model behavior remain underexplored. In our paper, “Watermarking Degrades Alignment in Language Models: Analysis and Mitigation,” presented at the 1st GenAI Watermarking Workshop at ICLR 2025, we investigate how watermarking impacts...
