New framework automates transformer approximation for faster homomorphic encryption

Researchers have developed ATLAS, an automated framework designed to optimize the approximation of transformer models for efficient homomorphic inference. This new system addresses the challenge of configuring per-layer approximation settings, which is crucial for reducing latency and maintaining predictive accuracy in fully homomorphic encryption (FHE). ATLAS employs a two-stage optimization strategy and surrogate models to navigate the vast search space of possible configurations, making it feasible to deploy complex models like BERT, ViT, and LLaMA 3 under FHE.

    ATLAS: Automated Approximation of Transformers for Efficient Homomorphic Inference in One Hour

    arXiv:2607.23478v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) provides strong cryptographic guarantees for private inference, but deploying transformer models under FHE remains prohibitively expensive. A key bottleneck is that non-linear operations such as …
