Brevis Enhances Pico Prism Efficiency with Fewer GPUs

Brevis has announced an upgrade to its Pico Prism zero-knowledge virtual machine, achieving real-time proof of over 99% of Ethereum blocks using just 16 RTX 5090 GPUs. According to NS3.AI, this development represents a significant efficiency improvement from the previous configuration, which required 64 GPUs across eight servers. The upgrade has reduced GPU costs from $128,000 to $32,000. The new system maintains an average proof time of 6.91 seconds and a total hardware cost of approximately $100,000, aligning with the Ethereum Foundation's infrastructure expenditure goals.
