BasedAI is a distributed network of machines which introduces decentralized infrastructure capable of integrating Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) with any large language model (LLM) connected to its network. The proposed framework embeds a default mechanism, called “Cerberus Squeezing”, into the mining process which enables the transformation of a standard LLMs into encrypted zeroknowledge LLMs, or “ZK-LLMs”, leveraging insights from generative adversarial networks for data privacy.
