Technical Updates 🤖

Machine-Learning(ML), CortexVirtual Machine(CVM) & Model RepresentationTool(MRT) R&D

1. The definition of runtime model is added to the MRT quantitative paper, and the algorithm model is distinguished at the BitLevel and Non-Floating levels, and the system concept level is improved;
2. MRT V3 adds support for command-line input analysis, which is automatically converted to Yaml attributes;
3. MRT V3 adds front-end interface conversion function, and can customize configuration files and quantization options;

ZkRollup
1. Zion adds a js cli tool to interact with zion server (send transactions, query transaction status according to transaction hash, account status…);
2. Zion modified the compress public key method of python’s elliptic curve to make it consistent with the compression results of javascript and c++ modules;
3. Zion adds the storage module to persist data, and modify the corresponding logic to ensure the correctness of the data when rebooting;
4. Zion adds the proposer and modifies the mini-block logic to get the execution result and execute the next transaction before full-block commit, while avoiding the generation of empty block;
5. ZKP GPU completes evaluation_Lt calculation: CPU 16 core is about 0.8s, GPU is about 0.65s;

Cortex Full Node
1. The CortexTheseus js_api fs module was modified and launched, adding the main chain’s torrent status management function;
2. Full-node Torrent FS module documentation is well developed;
3. Merkle Tree, Storage Tracker, TorrentFS Read&Write Lock, and Tx Nonce Limit optimization;
4. Other function optimizations and bug fixes of all nodes;

About Cortex 😇

Cortex’s main mission is to provide state-of-the-art machine-learning models on the blockchain in which users can infer using smart contracts on the Cortex blockchain. One of Cortex’s goals also includes implementing a machine-learning platform that allows users to post tasks on the platform, submit AI DApps (Artificial Intelligence Decentralized Applications).

Cortex is the only public blockchain that allows the execution of nontrivial AI algorithms on the blockchain. MainNet has launched. Go build!
