Decision

What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-06-28

Too early to adopt

Why
A research prototype with no commercial availability, no public SDK, and order-of-magnitude data blowup cannot be integrated; the speedups are real but inaccessible. Software FHE remains the only adoptable path today.
Next
Track ISSCC follow-ups and any Intel/Microsoft Azure cloud FHE-accelerator availability; revisit when a buyable or cloud-hosted accelerator with a public SDK appears. Stay on software FHE (Zama/OpenFHE) for any near-term confidential-compute need.
