ambient.xyz(@ambient_xyz):Checking an AI answer is never free, it just charges you in a different currency each way. a) Heavy cryptographic proof (zkML) charges compute. b) Trusted-hardware approaches (TEEs) charge a dependency on the chip maker. c) Consensus-scoring charges accuracy, because it cannot actually prove the model ran. Ours charges a small overhead per response, a company claim we have not had independently benchmarked, running on testnet today. Every one of these is a real cost, and the only wrong move is pretending your option is free.
