Why GPU orchestration on wide-area networks is hard

GPU orchestration, the management and coordination of multiple GPUs for complex computational tasks, has garnered significant attention in the AI and Web3 domains. This trend is evidenced by Nvidia's acquisition of Run:AI [1] and the emergence of vertical cloud solutions tailored specifically for AI tasks. As AI applications grow in complexity, efficient GPU orchestration becomes crucial for both training and inference processes.

For individual AI product developers leveraging existing pre-trained models such as Llama and GPT-4, efficient GPU orchestration for the inference stage is particularly vital. One big reason is that it’s almost impossible for individuals to train their own large-size machine learning model. With the proliferation of GPU computing providers accelerating inference capabilities across the market, there is a pressing need for a more secured and high-performance approach to orchestrating GPUs across wide-area networks.

Web3 technologies have the potential to revolutionize GPU orchestration over wide-area networks, offering benefits such as decentralized resource allocation, transparent pricing mechanisms, and enhanced security for individual users. For instance, blockchain-based smart contracts could facilitate trustless agreements between GPU providers and users, ensuring equitable allocation and remuneration. On-chain verification could guarantee the integrity of computations, which is critical for sensitive AI inference workloads, especially those with sensitive data and users with privacy concern.

Current verifications: ZKML, OPML and TEEML

Current web3 verification methods in AI and machine learning encompass a range of innovative technologies, including ZKML (Zero-Knowledge Machine Learning), OPML (Optimistic Machine Learning), and TEEML (Trusted Execution Environment for Machine Learning). These approaches offer different balances between security and computational efficiency for AI inference.

1. ZKML provides the highest level of security but at the cost of computational speed. It enables proof of correct computation without revealing sensitive data, focusing on privacy and transparency. Companies like EZKL and Modulus Labs are leading the charge in developing and implementing ZKML solutions. For instance, ZKML can allow secure offloading of computations to untrusted GPUs, proving statements like "I ran this publicly available neural network on some private data, and it produced this output" without revealing the private data [2]. However, ZKML is currently limited to models with millions of parameters due to its computational intensity.

2. OPML offers a middle ground, balancing security with improved computational efficiency. It emphasizes transparency, reproducibility, and scalability. ORA(Previously Hyper Oracle) is a prominent player in the OPML space, developing solutions that use optimistic verification similar to optimistic rollups in blockchain technology [3]. This approach allows it to run much larger models (up to 13 billion parameters) on-chain using a standard PC, significantly outperforming ZKML in terms of speed and scalability, albeit with slightly reduced security guarantees.

3. TEEML prioritizes computational speed while maintaining a good level of security, though not as high as ZKML. It leverages hardware-based security for confidential computing, providing hardware-level protection for sensitive AI models and data [4]. Companies like Oasis Labs and Phala Network are at the forefront of TEEML development and implementation. This approach allows for faster computation compared to ZKML and OPML, but relies on trust in the hardware manufacturer.

By addressing concerns around data privacy, model security, and computation integrity in different ways, these verification methods make it easier for AI developers to utilize shared or public GPU resources. The trade-offs between security and speed among these methods allow developers to choose the most appropriate solution for their specific needs, potentially accelerating AI development and deployment, especially for smaller teams or individual researchers who may not have the means to acquire and maintain expensive GPU infrastructure.

MagnetAI GPU Fusion Solution

MagnetAI's GPU Fusion Solution offers an innovative approach to AI model execution, prioritizing user preferences and security through advanced verification methods. Users specify their preferred GPU hierarchy for AI models and verification methods based on factors like computation cost and security level. The platform then dynamically generates a subnet using either ZKML, OPML, or TEEML. This subnet processes the user's request with a model router choosing the most suitable AI model with the compatible underlying computing platform and the ML verification that fits the most.

MagnetAI implements a low-latency, on-chain verification process to ensure computational integrity and correctness. This adaptive approach allows MagnetAI to meet diverse user needs while maintaining high standards of performance, privacy, and trustworthiness in AI inference.

How GPU Fusion can be compatible with different GPU hierarchies

MagnetAI's GPU Fusion Solution seamlessly integrates with diverse GPU hierarchy providers, including Web2 clouds, Web3 GPU sharing platforms, and Virtual Nodes. For each AI inference task, it dynamically generates a subnet, orchestrating and load-balancing resources in real-time.
