alt Hacker NewsIf one were to listen to /r/claude or /r/codex where half the posts are complaining about models being "lobotomized", one could think that this is the most valuable thing there is!
In all seriousness, this is mostly just one of those defense in depth kind of things. Data exfiltration via a compromised provider is also a very different class of vulnerabilities than prompt injection via malicious tool calls.
But it still requires trust in whoever is running the server that tags version 'x' as x. All you have proof of is that they return the hash for a given set of weights which is the same as someone else's hash, and those tags/hashes will be changing all the time as the models evolve, so people are not going to be able to keep track of whether Anthropic say is dumbing down their model or not after release, because this is a zero knowledge proof, all it tells is that a certain set of weights was used (you have no idea what weights, how many weights etc etc).
So I don't really see this as useful, except in the very limited use case of using a third party proxy who is trying to cheat you (in which case why are you sending all your data to someone you can't trust?).
