BlockBeats news, February 26 — According to official sources, Brevis has upgraded its Pico Prism zkVM. Now, only 2 machines and 16 RTX 5090 GPUs are needed to achieve over 99% real-time proof capability for Ethereum blocks, a significant reduction from the 8 servers and 64 GPUs announced in October 2025. The average proof time remains at 6.91 seconds, while GPU costs have plummeted from $128,000 to $32,000, bringing total hardware costs to around $100,000, aligning perfectly with the Ethereum Foundation’s capex goals for real-time proof infrastructure.
The performance leap is driven by a newly designed dual-machine collaborative architecture: this setup eliminates cross-machine data transfer and ensures all GPUs operate at full capacity continuously. The Ethereum Foundation has announced that the performance competition is essentially over, shifting focus toward achieving 128-bit provable security to facilitate the integration of L1 zkEVM in 2026.

ETH Zurich Practical Test of AI Agent Blockchain Consensus Ability: Success Rate Only 41.6%
The ETH Zurich research team tested the Byzantine consensus capability of LLM Agents and found that even without malicious nodes, the effective consensus rate was only 41.6%. As the number of nodes increases, reaching agreement becomes more difficult, and the situation worsens further with the addition of malicious nodes. The study concludes that current LLM Agents are not yet reliable for secure consensus, and decentralized deployment should be approached with caution.
