TEE-protected KV cache helps but won't fully stop inference price manipulation
AccBalanced · x · 2026-10-05
In a discussion on inference pricing manipulation, tarunchitra argues:
- Even just running the KV cache in a TEE would be a big improvement, but her article and related work (e.g. by cHHillee) only scratch the surface — the state space for manipulation is large
- Like in crypto, making something private may not be sufficient to prevent price manipulation
- TEEs would still make manipulation strategies much harder to find
Relevant for anyone worried about LLM API pricing trustworthiness.
