HEAT: Faster Fully Homomorphic Inference via Approximations-Weights Co-Adaptation

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 1, 2026 · UTC

Fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) allows a server to run a language model directly on encrypted user prompts, but current approaches remain prohibitively slow. Ciphertexts natively support only addition, multiplication, and rotation, and multiplications may be composed only to a bounded depth before a costly bootstrapping operation is needed to continue. Every nonlinearity must therefore be approximated by an iterative method, and each iteration uses multiplications. A higher iteration count buys precision but exhausts the available depth faster and triggers more bootstraps, which dominate la
