WorldCup Sampling for Multi-bit LLM Watermarking

As large language models (LLMs) generate increasingly human-like text, watermarking has emerged as a promising solution for reliable attribution beyond mere detection. While multi-bit watermarking enables richer provenance encoding, existing approaches typically extend zero-bit watermarking schemes by introducing static logit perturbations and counting-based decoding strategies, which can degrade text quality and compromise decoding robustness as the payload increases. In this paper, we propose WorldCup, a multi-bit watermarking framework for LLMs that models the sampling process as a structured communication channel and embeds message bits through a hierarchical competition mechanism guided by complementary signals. Moreover, WorldCup incorporates entropy-aware modulation to preserve generation quality and enables robust message recovery via confidence-aware decoding that accounts for token-level reliability. Comprehensive experiments demonstrate that WorldCup achieves a strong balance across message capacity, detectability, robustness, text quality, and decoding efficiency, consistently outperforming prior baselines. We believe that this work establishes a scalable and principled foundation for future research on multi-bit watermarking in LLMs.
