SHADOWMASK backdoors MDLMs by replacing the all-mask terminal distribution with a trigger-mask mixture prior, achieving near-100% attack success on DiT and LLaDA-8B models across multiple datasets while resisting fine-tuning and some defenses.

Mixture-of-Control adaptively combines local and global control states in transformer fine-tuning by treating per-block states as experts in a sparse MoE setup to improve cross-block communication while keeping memory and compute costs comparable to prior state-based methods.
