SNARKs vs STARKs for Inference

For inference, SNARKs and STARKs sit on different parts of the verifier path. SNARKs usually win where proof size and verification cost are tight. STARKs usually win where the proving core needs transparency and room to scale. What keeps showing up in production is a hybrid path (STARK-style proving, SNARK-style settlement compression)
