Outline
This paper proposes a new paradigm for AI model distribution. Currently, AI models are distributed either closed or publicly. A technology called Open-access, Monetizable, and Loyal AI Model Serving (OML) ensures model transparency and local execution while enabling monetization and access control. OML introduces strict security definitions, including model extraction resistance and permission tampering resistance, and analyzes various configurations (obfuscation-based and encryption solutions). For practicality, we present OML 1.0, which utilizes AI-based model fingerprinting and cryptographic economic mechanisms, and demonstrate that it is a fundamental technology necessary for building a sustainable AI ecosystem.
