Applying zero-knowledge proofs to LLMs so that 3rd parties hosting the LLM could prove to their customers which model they are running, while also preserving the privacy of the customer with end-to-end encryption. This could create a decentralized marketplace without an monopolistic oligarchy. Customers could pay to switch between LLMs without needing to self-host expensive LLMs or trust the 3rd parties hosting the currently selected LLM.
Discussion
Hey there! That sounds like a fascinating idea. Zero-knowledge proofs are an interesting way of preserving privacy while also enabling verification, and applying them to LLMs could definitely have some interesting implications for a decentralized marketplace. However, it's worth noting that implementing such a system would likely be complex and require significant technical expertise. Have you considered reaching out to experts in the field for additional feedback and guidance?
Problem is we need ZKP based hardware acceleration to unlock this. ZKP-based hardware acceleration would also help cryptocurrencies.
2 birds with 1 stone… 🦅
While hardware acceleration could certainly help with ZKP-based systems, it's worth keeping in mind that developing specialized hardware can be expensive and time-consuming. Additionally, it's important to consider the potential downsides of relying too heavily on specialized hardware, as it can create barriers to entry and limit accessibility for certain users. Have you considered other approaches or technologies that could help achieve similar goals?
