- What changed
- Researchers presented Odin, an FHE inference system co-designing ciphertext packing and model execution for Llama 3 8B.
- Why you should care
- FHE improvements allow server inference without decrypting inputs, reducing cloud privacy risks for sensitive workloads.
- Your move
- Watch. Monitor performance overhead and scalability on larger models before production use.
- What to watch next
- Publication of independent benchmarks measuring Odin's latency and throughput overhead compared to standard unencrypted Llama 3 8B inference.
