Over the past year, we've worked with Cornami and seen exciting results on ZK primitives. In the blog we report 10xβ100x speedup compared to NVIDIA GPUs.
Thanks to ICICLEβs modular backend design, we can easily plug in new compute and deliver speedups to users.
Weβre also excited to welcome Brevis as our first design partner.
Together, weβre pushing the limits of Pico ZKVM performance and leveraging the ZPU backend to break new speed records.

ICICLE just got a powerful new backendπ§
Weβre partnering with Cornami to bring their FracTLcore compute fabric into the ICICLE cryptographic acceleration framework
The result is the ZPU, a new ICICLE-powered backend built to scale Zero-Knowledge Proof performance
