Pearl Research Labs
A company building AI inference infrastructure and Pearl, a blockchain whose proof-of-useful-work mining is a by-product of GPU matrix multiplication.
Pearl Research Labs describes itself as building infrastructure and algorithms for AI inference. It develops the Pearl blockchain, an instance of proofs of useful work:
- Protocol specification. Pearl specifies a proof-of-useful-work protocol in which the unit of mining work is FP8 matrix multiplication on GPUs 1.
- Integer whitepaper. Its earlier whitepaper presents mining as a side-effect of the matrix multiplications in AI training and inference workloads 2.
- Open-source network. Pearl publishes a monorepo with a reference full node, a vLLM-based GPU miner and a proof-of-work circuit and verifier 3.
Implementations
- A blockchain whose mining is designed to be a by-product of GPU matrix multiplications in AI workloads, with public node and miner code.
Mechanisms
Mechanisms this organization has designed, built, evaluated or supplied.
- Cryptographic evidence that hardware performed a given amount of agreed computation, proposed as a way to show no spare capacity remained for other work.
