This analysis assesses Plan A's strategy for verifying compute usage in AI model inference, focusing on methods to prevent unauthorized training. The author examines interconnect limits, memory wipes, and Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs), evaluating their potential to slow down training and add overhead to inference. A key proposal involves removing the backend network and imposing bandwidth limits on the frontend network to hinder gradient sharing during training, while aiming for minimal impact on inference operations. The assessment also considers adversarial attacks like low-communication training algorithms and raises open questions about their effectiveness at frontier scale and their implications for tasks like video generation.
