Vitalik: Prioritize using decentralized social media while exploring local LLM deployment solutions

Foresight News reported that Vitalik Buterin posted on Farcaster, stating, "In 2026, I will use OpenStreetMap and the encrypted email service Protonmail, and will prioritize decentralized social media to enhance privacy data protection efficiency. At the same time, I will continue to explore deployment solutions for local large language models (LLMs). The ideal solution is to utilize local LLMs as much as possible, compensating for insufficient parameter counts with dedicated fine-tuned models; for high-load scenarios, layer in pay-per-query zero-knowledge payments, trusted execution environments, and local query filtering. Essentially, this means integrating all imperfect solutions to achieve the best possible protection. Of course, the ultimate goal remains to conquer ultra-efficient fully homomorphic encryption technology. Sending all data to third-party centralized services is unnecessary. We have the tools to significantly reduce such operations, and we should continue to build, improve, and use them more proactively."
