I’m experimenting with a proof-of-work design that leverages tensor operations. The goal is to create a PoW algorithm where mining hardware could also be effective for AI/ML tasks. In theory, this could allow mining equipment to be repurposed for AI workloads when not mining—and might help decentralize AI compute resources.

I’m particularly interested in feedback on:

The technical feasibility of designing a PoW that benefits from tensor operations
Potential challenges in aligning performance between mining and AI/ML tasks
Any ideas on how to further ensure that hardware used for mining has real utility outside of cryptocurrency mining
I’ve published some early-stage code and documentation on GitHub here. I’d really appreciate any constructive feedback or thoughts on the approach.

Thanks in advance!
