Adversaries may modify templates, role delimiters, embedded system instructions, tokenizer settings, tool-call formatting, or other artifact-bundled logic that constructs the context sent to an AI model. Model file formats such as GGUF can package this logic alongside model weights in a single distributable artifact. A compatible inference runtime may interpret the modified logic during future inference requests, enabling persistent covert instruction injection, altered instruction precedence, redirected tool use, or manipulated model output without changing model weights.
