Technical Updates 🤖

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

1. Finish training the stylegan2 model with NFT pictures.
2. Cifar series quantization accuracy tweaking in the MRT model;
3. MRT adds variable batch dimension inference at the Op, Graph level, and boosts prediction SCTF model adaption.

ZkRollup

1. ZKNode resolves the issue where restarting may fail if there are unprocessed transactions in the memory pool.
2. ZKNode corrected the 0x00 prefix address data translation problem.
3. ZKProver enhances CMD Parser parsing and assistance, among other things.
4. There is a computation inconsistency issue when the block size of the ZKProver GPU version is big. Create extra test cases to recreate the issue;

Cortex Full Node

  1. Cuckoo Consensus Engine: Incorporate Modules Plugin XCortex;
  2. Repair Trie tree problems and updated dependent libraries;
  3. The Cortex complete node API includes database operations and resolves several issues.

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, and 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!
