excellent podcast, with one of co-authors of seminal AI/LLM Google whitepaper "Attention is all you need"
now, he is building secure infrastructure layer, based on blockchains,
that enabled using GPU HW without exposing data or AI models!
It is leveraging "secure enclave" feature of NVIDIA and Intel processors,
and enables running AI tasks, both inference and trainings, without exposing content.
that could enabled providing means for running AI payloads on third-party HW securly.
