## Quote — verbatim

> We are working right now with hardware verifications using trusted execution environments — which I was vehemently against, but I kind of gave up my fight and I started accepting TEEs as a way to go... the future of Akash verification is TEE now, and there's a proposal out there that will be enabled very soon.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

On verifying general-purpose compute where the platform can't see source code. Notable because two weeks later (Sahara AI/ALL Summit panel) he again emphasized TEE hardware vulnerabilities — he holds both positions with visible reluctance.
