Proof of Inference Mechanism

Miners

Miners contribute to the Omron subnet by running inferences via AI models that have been converted into zk-circuits. Miners receive requests from validators in the form of a model ID and input parameters to pass into the specified model. Miners then use a pre-generated zero knowledge circuit for the specified model to complete a verifiable inference, computing both a proof and output data. Miners respond back to validators with proven output. An additional difference to note is zk-proofs are CPU intensive. This provides an opportunity for CPU based miners to have an advantage by mining with Subnet 2.

Hardware Requirements

These requirements are subject to change as the network scales to accommodate larger models

Component	Requirement
CPU	8 core 3.2GHz
RAM	32GB
Network Up	400Mbps
Network Down	400Mbps
Storage	100GB

Recommended

Exceeding these requirements in terms of storage, network and CPU speed will most likely result in higher rewards due to performance incentivization.

Component	Recommendation
CPU	8 core 3.6GHz
RAM	64GB
Network Up	1Gbps
Network Down	1Gbps
Storage	400GB
Storage Medium	SSD

Validators

Validators are responsible for querying miners and verifying inferences provided by miners in response to their queries. Validators can accept external requests and pass them into the network, or pass their own requests on to miners. Validators provide input data along with a model ID, specifying the model they want the miner to run and the input data to provide to the model. Once miners complete the inference, validators receive output in the form of a proof file which allows them to access and use the output, and verify the output was run faithfully. Based on the miners performance in terms of response time and model authenticity, miners are assigned a score.
