Direct Execution on Encoded Data

Compute

Benefit 01

Inference and fine-tuning directly on encoded files

Benefit 02

No decompression/decode step in the hot path

Benefit 03

Same outcomes as plain-data runs, with less I/O and memory churn

Benefit 04

Fewer plaintext touchpoints; reduced exposure surface

Benefit 05

Materially less preprocessing; simpler, more uniform input handling

Run inference and fine-tuning without first restoring plaintext. Models operate directly on the encoded file, so the decode step drops out of the loop. When a plain copy is required, restore remains bit-perfect and verifiable—but for most workloads, you compute on the sealed artifact.
‍

This changes pipeline shape and risk. Removing decode points shortens plaintext lifetimes and narrows exposure, while also trimming I/O and memory churn associated with round-tripping large assets. The execution is mathematically consistent with running on the plain data; you keep outcomes while avoiding the detour through restore.
‍

Adoption is straightforward. Existing models can be wrapped to accept the encoded representation, and training flows can be adjusted so batches are fed from encoded stores. Preprocessing is materially reduced because inputs arrive in a uniform, model-ready form. Operationally, this means fewer moving parts between storage and GPU/accelerator, simpler scheduling, and less contention for bandwidth.

Direct execution doesn’t change what your models do; it changes where the cost and risk live. Compute happens on the sealed form, and restore is invoked only when you explicitly need a plain copy.
