Writing this whitepaper was personal for me. Over the past year, I watched AI agents evolve from toys to tools — but every time we tried to connect them to the real world, we hit the same wall: the internet isn’t built for them. No native identity. No programmable trust. No way

Now the success rate has been improved from low 60% to 99% for our testnet v1, in the meantime, we are supporting from < 1 inference / sec to ~450 inference / sec in 3 weeks. That translated into 22.4m inference per day. Time to first token is also massively improved from 15.8

You asked, we listened. @GoKiteAI app used to take 5s+ to load — not OK at all Root cause? We were serving 300+ QPS and loading a huge API response for listing subnets on every visit. We added autoscale, edge caching and lazy-loaded heavy data, and cut load time to ~200ms

FastSet is the most significant milestone of my technical and academic career since creating the K Framework in 2003. I didn’t set out to build another blockchain, we have enough fragmentation, brittle bridges, and total ordering slowing Web3 down. FastSet is something else
