zkML costs 1000x, optimistic schemes cost a challenge window. Hardware attestation verifies AI inference at under 7% overhead and ~$0.26 on-chain — if you're willing to trust Intel. Part 3 weighs the third leg of verifiable inference.
We ran multi-agent LLM pipelines against historical exploit corpora and live audit engagements. The results reshape where AI fits in a security review — and where it absolutely doesn't.
Zero-knowledge proofs aren't the only path to trustworthy on-chain AI. Optimistic schemes trade latency for a 1000x cost reduction — here's how dispute games over inference actually work.
