Supply chain and stack security
Safe model files, dependencies and containers, plus authentication, network isolation, secrets and multi-tenant hygiene for the servers that run your models. With verification commands, a hardened container recipe and an incident checklist.
You download multi-gigabyte files from the internet and run them next to your data, on machines with powerful GPUs and often broad network access. That is a supply chain: model weights, tokenizers, runtimes, Python packages, container images, plugins and the scripts in README files. Each link can be compromised, and attackers value GPU servers. Treat all of it like any other third-party code and data, with a few LLM-specific twists.
