Sounds like an attack vector waiting to happen if you deploy enough competing expert devices into a crowd.

I’m imagining a lot of these LLM products on phones will be used for live translation. Imagine a large crowd event of folks utilizing live AI translation services being told completely false translations because an actor deployed a 51% attack.

I’m not particularly scared of a 51% attack between the devices attached to my Apple ID. If my iPhone splits inference work with my idle MacBook, Apple TV, and iPad, what’s the problem there?
