Ambient develops Layer 1 blockchain where miners perform AI inference tasks

Ambient has built a Layer 1 blockchain where the “work” in proof-of-work is replaced by verified AI inference. Instead of hashing, miners process AI queries submitted through an onchain auction system. The network has already served over 134 billion tokens through a public API. How Proof of Logits actually works The core innovation is what Ambient calls Proof of Logits, or PoL. When a miner runs an inference task on a large language model, the PoL mechanism verifies that the output was actually generated by the claimed model with the claimed inputs, rather than fabricated or tampered with. The network currently supports large open-weights models including GLM 5.2 and Kimi K2.7 Code, targeting models with over 600 billion parameters. Queries are processed through a competitive bidding auction, where miners compete on price and speed to fulfill inference requests. The onchain settlement means there’s a verifiable record of every inference task, who processed it, and whether the output checks out. SVM compatibility and the Solana connection Ambient is built to be compatible with the Solana Virtual Machine. The chain targets approximately 65,000 transactions per second, borrowing from ...
