Hey, this is a super cool project. It's great to see a lot of the IPFS stuff resurfacing again.

A few questions:

1.) How does this handle privacy? If you're distributing compute this way then all actors in the compute graph will also know the sequence being computed.

2.) Any safeguards against malicious actors poisoning model activations?

To be honest, both are very tough problems we don't have a good answer for yet. If that is something that concerns you, look into building a private mesh with trusted peers.

Thanks for answering, that makes sense. Also - your setup seems like it could greatly benefit from speculative decoding. Have you guys given any thought to how that might work in this system?

P.s. for #2, you can probably do something like RAFT-styled interleaved computation. But this could get tricky unless you commit to a sharding scheme that makes it easier.
