It’s at least a million times slower than non-encrypted computation. 1000x or 100x would be a huge progress.

- sandworm101 1y agoOh. It really is that bad still. So if the question is between wrapping the plaintext in layers of security, or building out a million new server instances to do it via FHE, i know which one everyone will choose.
- bgnn 1y agoIt's so bad that the only way FHE can get more efficient is to use a non-conventional compute technology. Some want to do it in optical donain.
- j2kun 1y agoIt is not that bad these days, closer to 10,000x. Accelerators are being developed that claim to get down to 10x, though i think they will be more like 100-1000x, which would still be a huge improvement considering how people use LLMs today for basic tasks like string matching.
- aitchnyu 1y agoAre those accelerators software-only? 10x could let 4$ VPS run server side checks for backup software (evil clients cant clean backups) and git forges (eg, dont allow X to push to main).
