Technical Updates

The technical development has centered around the TestNet that is set to be released in Q3 2018. The Cortex TestNet has made great progress and entered the final sprint phase. The final details will be released to the public shortly after the release of the TestNet.

Technical Progress in AI

The technical progress of the AI part has been continuing at a good pace: the INT8 model was developed as an input and output, reducing the model size by 75% without compromising the accuracy of the model. In addition, the alpha version of Cortex MRT has been completed and are being tested.

Technical Progress in Blockchain

The technical progress of the chain mainly focuses on the design and development of the block browser, the implementation and optimization of the PoW algorithm, the implementation and testing of the inferred part of the chain, the storage service of the model and data, and the implementation and testing of the economic mechanism.
