The article discusses the integration of machine learning with blockchain technology, specifically through opML (Optimistic Machine Learning on chain). opML is a novel approach that allows blockchain systems to conduct AI model inference. It uses an interactive fraud proof protocol, improving trust and transparency in machine learning services. Unlike zkML (Zero-Knowledge Machine Learning), opML is cost-efficient and requires minimal participation, enabling the execution of extensive language models like 7B-LLaMA on standard PCs without GPUs. This advancement expands accessibility and combines the capabilities of blockchain and AI, marking a transformative step towards accessible, secure, and efficient on-chain machine learning.
