Gonka explains how decentralized inference networks catch cheating GPU hosts

Contributors to open-source project Gonka shared design notes on verifying that untrusted GPU hosts actually run the paid-for model. Since replaying every request would double costs, the network combines random spot-checks, reputation systems, and open weights to counter three classes of cheating.
