IBM releases LLMON markup to fix prompt injection
IBM is tackling the brittleness of small language models by introducing LLMON, a structured markup language that explicitly separates instructions from data. By using reserved special tokens instead of ambiguous characters like JSON brackets, these new Granite 4.1 preview models drastically reduce indirect prompt injection attacks while maintaining standard performance. This approach forces the model to bind specific constraints to specific data payloads, eliminating the confusion that often leads to hallucinations or security breaches in long contexts.
