During the training, participants only exchange tensors (embeddings, gradients) and never send code to each other. No other peer can execute arbitrary code on your computer - they can only request you to run one of pre-defined BLOOM layers. You can further isolate the Petals server from your machine by running it a Docker container (see the command in the repo).

A client needs to communicate with multiple servers in a specific way to run the model, I'm not sure our communication model can be implemented with BOINC.
