🧬 AI in healthcare is powerful — but dangerous when unverified. Inference Labs validates diagnostic models with zkML — so results are provable, accurate, and never leak patient data. HIPAA-grade privacy. Zero-knowledge trust. 🔐 This is AI you can audit.

This July 4th, we celebrate the power of open systems and transparent technology. At Inference Labs, we’re building AI you can verify.

Inference Labs x ZORO The future of AI isn’t just smarter - it’s trustless, transparent, and on-chain. We’re excited to partner with @zorotechnology, a decentralized platform advancing AI robotics through zero-knowledge proofs and decentralized machine learning. Together, we’re building a world where AI models are trained collaboratively, verified transparently, and deployed with confidence. Because when intelligence powers robotics, trust in the process matters most. Stay tuned.

Securing $6.30 million in funding, can Inference Labs' decentralized AI inference network Sertn address concerns about "data abuse" and "AI malfeasance"? AI is becoming an important part of the global digital economy. This is because AI can automatically perform a large number of repetitive tasks by imitating human cognitive functions and learning abilities, participate in data analysis, prediction, and decision-making, and solve complex problems at extremely high speeds with significantly reduced human intervention. However, if there is a lack of effective guidance, AI may also output "manipulated" results due to algorithmic biases, which may have negative impacts. At the same time, the privacy breaches, data abuse, and compliance issues in data collection that AI may cause have also raised concerns. Meanwhile, in the blockchain space, traditional blockchains such as Bitcoin and Ethereum are facing a series of problems due to performance limitations. To change this situation, developers have proposed a "modular" approach to improve the scalability of blockchain architecture. The original "monolithic" blockchain structure is separated according to different functions such as execution, consensus, and data availability. In this way, developers can carry out more targeted optimizations for different functions and achieve more flexible combinations. This "modular" construction model has gradually expanded to more fields such as DeFi (such as the modular lending protocol Morpho), privacy protocols (such as the modular privacy layer Inco), and smart accounts (such as the modular smart account Rhinestone). This actually reflects a technological development trend from "integration" to "professional division of labor." ✜ The trial reading section has ended, the remaining hidden hardcore content is here 👇 https://t.co/75AOCpWNy7

1/ AI can write essays, approve loans, and diagnose disease — but can it prove what it did? 🤔 Inference Labs is building the cryptographic backbone for AI you can trust. Not vibes. Not claims. Proof. 🧵

Trustless Agents, Real Incentives — The Future of Decentralized AI AI agents are coming for every vertical — finance, gaming, governance, and more. But without proof, every claim is just another black box. That’s where Inference Labs comes in. We built the world’s largest zkML proving cluster on Bittensor Subnet 2 to bring Proof of Inference to life. It’s not theoretical — our network verifies thousands of inferences, slashes dishonest nodes, and rewards performance in real-time. This isn’t just about computation. It’s about compute you can trust. Imagine an agent making DeFi trades or moderating content. Now imagine it can prove, cryptographically, that it did the right thing, with no leaks, no centralized authority, and no ability to fake the process. That’s not the future. That’s live today. AI is the new infrastructure. We're building the layer that makes it verifiable.

Smart contracts gave us trustless money. Inference Labs gives us trustless AI, powering Bittensor Subnet 2 with the largest zkML cluster. Proof of Inference ensures agents don’t just claim outputs — they prove them cryptographically.

AI isn’t just hype — it’s already shaping critical systems. But without proof, it’s just a black box. Inference Labs brings cryptographic verification to real-world AI use cases. Here’s where we’re already making an impact

Inference Labs x OpenPad AI We’re changing the way AI thinks, decides, and earns trust. As decentralized AI transforms investing, trust and verifiability are no longer optional. That’s why we’ve partnered with @Openpad_io, a platform where AI agents drive Web3 analytics, early-stage deals, and collective intelligence. Together, we’re building a future where insights aren’t just smart, they’re provable. Trustless AI starts here.

The decentralized AI market is exploding — but trust is still the missing layer. Inference Labs delivers verifiable AI on Bittensor with zkML-powered Proof of Inference. No black boxes. Just cryptographic truth at scale.

Prove you're 18 — without sharing your ID. Inference Labs' Age Verification model utilizes on-device AI and zkML to verify age without exposing private data. Built on Subnet 2, it's live, open-source, and regulation-ready. Privacy, verified.

The shift is real — from generalized cloud AI to autonomous, personal agents built on local, sovereign compute. @Hey_Amiko captures this transition with intention: on-device inference, voice-first UX, embedded identity, and agent-native coordination. EdgeX Labs is proud to power the hardware and scheduling backbone behind it. This is what agent-native infrastructure looks like. #EdgeXLabs #Amiko #AIhardware

AI agents are already playing Doom. Tomorrow, they will be trading your assets. Inference Labs ensures they are not just fast, but also provably real. zkML makes every move traceable. This is verifiable autonomy.

Inference Labs x AscendEX We’re excited to team up with AscendEX, a top exchange with over 5 million users and a strong presence in emerging markets. At Inference Labs, we’re building infrastructure to verify AI outputs securely and transparently, without relying on centralized entities.

$CFX is trading at $0.08129 USD with a 24-hour trading volume of $59.37 million, a market capitalization of $413.99 million, and an 11.89% gain over the past day. This breakout has been driven by Conflux DAO’s May 7 vote to burn 76 million CFX and stake 500 million CFX, aggressively tightening supply; the launch of CFX spending via AEON Pay at over 20 million merchants, which broadened real-world utility and demand; the integration of Meson’s gas-free USDT transfers on eSpace, eliminating bridge friction and boosting on-chain throughput; and heightened developer and investor attention following the Conflux DeFi & Ecosystem Development Conference in Hong Kong, which showcased new partnerships with Inference Labs, CycleX, Graphite, and others.

Verifiable AI at the Edge — Where Privacy Meets Compliance AI isn’t just generating content — it’s deciding who gets access to what. From financial platforms to healthcare portals, proving identity and age is now a global requirement. But let’s face it — sending your passport to some centralized server shouldn’t be the default. Inference Labs is changing that with on-device AI verification powered by zkML. Our Age Verification model, running on Subnet 2 and optimized for iPhones, proves you’re 18+ without leaking your birthday, face, or ID. No servers. No honeypots. Just cryptographic proof from your own device. Why does it matter? Places like Australia, Texas, and Florida are rolling out strict age-gating laws. Platforms need compliance and user privacy. Our zero-knowledge approach delivers both. Faster, private, and regulation-ready. Join the alpha today ▶︎ https://t.co/nHMutZ4Jaj

Prove you’re over 18 — without sharing your birthday. That’s the power of zkML on iPhones. Inference Labs x EZKL is building privacy-preserving age checks that never leave your device. No IDs. No leaks. Just cryptographic proof.
