arXiv:2610.08258v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Auditing the claimed outcomes of large language model (LLM) training is challenging when model weights and training data are private, while cryptographically proving the full training process is prohibitively expensive at Transformer scale. We present zkLLMPoT, a zero-knowledge framework that certifies auditor-defined properties of a trained checkpoint through forward evaluation rather than verification of its optimization trajectory. zkLLMPoT includes 2 phases: 1) The trainer fixes the architecture and the model weights are committed. Then the a
