Llama-3 replaces SHA-256 in Proof of Intellect consensus

Replacing brute-force hashing with useful AI computation is the "holy grail" of blockchain efficiency, but bitwise determinism remains the ultimate hurdle.

• –Integer-based matrix multiplication is a clever hack to bypass the floating-point non-associativity that usually breaks cross-platform LLM consensus.
• –ASIC resistance is baked into the requirement for high-bandwidth tensor cores, keeping the network accessible to consumer GPUs rather than specialized chips.
• –The project's "semantic sentence" validation creates a novel path for high-integrity decentralized training data.
• –Quantization drift remains a major risk—any deviation in model weights between nodes could lead to catastrophic ghost forking of the chain.
