V God’s combination of 2-bit quantization and ZK remote calls has brought Apple chips and AMD into the fray—CROPS AI’s cross-hardware narrative is pretty interesting.

Buterin announced that DeepSeek V4 has released a 2-bit quantized version, operable with approximately 90 GB of GPU memory, with Apple hardware around 35 tokens per second, and AMD around 7 tokens per second. He emphasized that CROPS AI should cover multiple hardware platforms and intersect with the CROPS Ethereum access layer, enabling paid remote LLM calls and Ethereum private RPC reads through zero-knowledge proofs. In the future, more AI models fine-tuned specifically for Ethereum scenarios will be available to enhance security.
