Image models forget less than tests suggest

What changedA certification method bounds residual concepts beyond the finite prompts used in ordinary attacks. Models may appear to forget a style or identity while a wider prompt space still leaks it. The result is concrete, but it remains research evidence rather than a production guarantee.

Pipeline testing whether an image model truly unlearned a concept

The useful part

Why it matters

Models may appear to forget a style or identity while a wider prompt space still leaks it.

Worth doing

What to do next

Reproduce the core result against your own data, hardware and failure cases before depending on it.

Keep in mind

Good to know

Guarantees depend on stated assumptions. Not every real attack is captured.
