Been looking at AI x Crypto project all day - and have to admit, whoever wrote this on @ModulusLabs's landing page deserves a raise and some more.
Couple bars above their peers.
In the meantime, check out our blog for what it took to prove a real LLM, why specialization is the future, & the endgame for AI x crypto!

So it's possible โ nice! But the proving overhead is far from acceptable...for now ๐
As we demonstrate in our latest paper, specialization offer 1,000-10,000x speed-ups for ZKML!
In fact, we already have some exciting new updates cooking at the bleeding edge ๐๏ธ
We're excited to unveil ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐โthe world's most powerful ZKML prover
Our first implementation achieved a mere 180x proof generation overhead vs. the same (non-verifiable) computation on an M2 Mac.

For a while now, Iโve said that AI is the EVERYTHING narrative.
These days, AI headlines and tokens are dominating our timelines.
With so much happening, it feels like we're living in an accelerating time chamber. How do we make sense of it all?
Introducing Generalized.
