Our node network distributes work— just make a regular API request
The API Gateway receives inference and read requests from API users
The API Gateway balances the requests and distributes them to Infera nodes
Nodes perform inference and verify the responses among themselves
The results are passed to results database for storage and retrieval

Nodes accept and complete inference requests which are verified by other nodes.
Nodes listen for inference requests broadcasted from the load balancer
When a job is received, the input is passed to the nodes inference engine
Post-inference, the results are verified with similar outputs from reference nodes
Results are then routed back to the load balancer along side the verification results
