notes

Upstream's own status banner: 'This example and the RPC backend are currently in a proof-of-concept development stage. As such, the functionality is fragile and insecure. Never run the RPC server on an open network or in a sensitive environment!' Confirms RPC is the officially-named distributed path but explicitly not hardened. Also documents mixed-backend workers (CUDA, Metal, CPU on different hosts in one model).
