Technical Updates 🤖Machine-Learning(ML), CortexVirtual Machine(CVM) & Model RepresentationTool(MRT)ZKML adjusts Trace API, fixes load/store issues, and adds force option;ZKML adjusts the ShapeAdapter pass in ZKSection9, adds the function of eliminating Batch in CircomGenerator, and adapts to the circom deep learning library;ZKML adjusted the circom deep learning library API and modified some calculation logic;ZKML exports JSON data in CVM format, and adds operators such as conv and relu;ZkRollupAdd parallel merkle tree, rescue hash, signature benchmark;Account is used for test toolkit for other parts of the test (generate random accounts, account signatures and generate various transactions); Realize mint nft, withdraw nft, swap circuits, and realize the witness generation part for all types of tx;The implementation of the STATE module is responsible for processing the execution of tx and priority_op, updating the L2 state and collecting the results of account update and fees.Each tx type has passed the corresponding test (correct and wrong transaction parameters), and all transaction execution processes have been checked benchmark test;Cortex Full NodeUse the newly typed atomics in the miner package common: fix json marshaller MixedcaseAddress (#26998)Fix tx pool test and other bugsCommunity Updates👨‍👩‍👦‍👦Conduct the final stage of testing and preparation for the release of the Cortex NFT Gallery(Thalamus);Planning Cortex NFT community & systemContinue to monitor popular market ventures and examine project logic and Web3, NFT & Defi Tokenomic modelsEstablish connections with several NFT artistAbout 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!
