Open-source blockchain where AI models run on-chain inside smart contracts
An EVM-compatible execution environment that adds on-chain AI inference, using the GPU instead of the CPU to run nontrivial machine learning models.
Produces identical AI inference results across heterogeneous computing hardware, which is what allows AI to be executed on-chain without an off-chain oracle.
Quantization and integer-only inference techniques that make model execution efficient and reproducible inside a blockchain environment.
A zkRollup solution that aggregates side-chain transitions into a single main-chain transaction, raising TPS and lowering per-transaction fees.

Ultra-fast AI inference on the LPU and LPX platform
Custom accelerators designed specifically for inference rather than training, tuned for very low latency.
Hosted access to popular open models including Llama, Mixtral, Gemma, and Whisper speech models.
An API broadly compatible with common OpenAI-style request formats for quick integration.
Automatic speech recognition with Whisper plus text-to-speech capabilities for voice applications.
