Reverse engineering Fireworks stack via timing side channels
jedisct1 · x · 2026-08-18
A study demonstrates how to reverse engineer inference provider infrastructure using timing side channels such as token processing time and TTFT. By analyzing a leaked vLLM Git revision from a Meta Muse Glimmer 30B response, researchers built a local twin, identified precision and GPU configs, and reproduced the scheduler.
