**[Attestable Achieves Breakthrough in AI Verifiable Technology, Secures $20 Million Seed Round Funding]** BlockBeats News, August 12 — AI security startup Attestable announced its official establishment and the completion of a $20 million seed round funding. The round was co-led by Jamin Ball from Altimeter Capital and Yonatan Mandelbaum from TLV Partners, with participation from institutions such as Halcyon Futures, Cerca Partners, and several individual investors. Attestable founder Yogi stated that as AI increasingly integrates into critical infrastructure, national security, and large enterprise systems, verifying the trustworthiness of AI operations has become a significant global challenge. The company aims to build a universal verification layer for cutting-edge AI labs, critical infrastructure, and national-level applications. According to reports, Attestable leverages Zero-Knowledge Proof (ZKP) technology to shift trust in AI systems from data centers to mathematical verification mechanisms. This technology can prove that an approved model, its weights, input data, and operational strategies indeed generated a specific output, without revealing model parameters or user privacy data, and without requiring the model to be re-run for verification. Attestable stated that its technology has already achieved verification inference for the Meta Muse Glimmer 30B model on a single NVIDIA H100 GPU, reaching a speed of 85 tokens per second. The generated proof files are small, quantum-resistant, and can be verified quickly. In response, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin commented on the development, stating that this achievement signifies that the performance overhead of Zero-Knowledge Proofs for large language models has approached single-digit levels. He added that the next challenge is to further reduce the performance overhead of technologies like Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE). [Original Link]
