Can Models Be Encrypted Before Cloud Hosting
Stabile_Feldmaus · reddit · 2026-07-19
The post poses a question: when concerned about privacy or IP leaks, can enterprises continue leveraging cloud compute by "encrypting" their models before hosting to prevent providers from extracting model info? The author envisions applying proprietary transformations to the weights, along with corresponding forward and reverse transformations for inputs and outputs, allowing inference to occur without ever exposing the actual model.
