The MoE hard fork is now live. Update now!
This upgrade marks the next phase of the Pearl network.
With this hard fork, Pearl transitions to v2 certificates based on Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) workloads, enabling the network to more accurately verify and reward useful AI

- A common critique on Proof-of-Useful-Work is that the zero marginal cost of mining drives the network’s security budget and price to zero. A paper just released by Rafael Pass, a renowned cryptographer at @Cornell /@TechnionLive and research scientist at Pearl Research Labs
- Pearl Research Labs repostedWill Fast Matrix Multiplication ever be practical? Strassen’s 1986 discovery of fast matrix multiplication (FMM) – asserting that the product of two 𝑛×𝑛 matrices can be computed in sub-cubic time 𝑛^𝜔 ∼ 𝑛²·⁸⁷ ≪ 𝑛³ – had a profound impact on theoretical computer science
- Inference is becoming the largest compute market and energy consumer in AI. Pearl turns inference CapEx of hyperscalers into a profit center: every LLM token produced by GPUs can simultaneously generate ¶PRL in parallel. That means users get 2-for-1 economics: useful inferenceIntroducing Gemma-4-31B-it-Pearl on Together AI, Pearl Research Labs’ instruction-tuned checkpoint of Gemma 4 31B powered by @prlnet Proof of Useful Work protocol. AI natives can now use this Pearl model as a serverless inference endpoint on Together AI, at a 25%+ discounted
- "The real limit to AI is not energy, it is actually cash"
00:00 - Demand for Pearl is skyrocketing. @prlnet We’ve opened up a compute platform for the people — first come, first served, with limited supply. We’re working hard to expand capacity. Subscribe for updates: compute.pearlresearch.ai
- Privy CEO @sternhenri sees three big trends in stablecoins and the blockchain growing in the future: "First, we're going to see a rise of non-dollar stablecoins as more people embrace them." "Second, I've heard of a few projects that are trying to have an inflation stablecoin.
00:00 - 2-for-1 Inference on Gemma4 is now available on Pearl!
- Every era has a resource so fundamental it becomes money. Bitcoin turns energy into currency. Trustless, global and censorship-resistant. AI is doing something even more powerful: it turns energy into intelligence. Deployable anywhere and useful for almost everything. But
- It is becoming increasingly clear that the future economy will be denominated in compute cycles more than in human labor. In a world where AI drives the majority of electricity consumption and GDP, compute is the natural collateral for money: an open, auditable, AI-native
