zeekay f9db4f5737 Publish under the org, not a person
Bylines, paper authorship, correspondence addresses and the founder blurb under
each post named an individual. They name the organisation that published the
work instead: the brand on posts and pages, the research byline on papers, and
research@ in place of a personal address. Both are what these repositories
already used elsewhere — nothing new was coined.

Co-authors are untouched. Where a paper named someone else alongside, they stay
named; only the one byline changed. Bibliography entries, running heads,
PDF metadata and affiliations move with it, so a citation still resolves to
whoever the cited paper names.

Sample and fixture data uses the placeholder name these tests already use
elsewhere, so no assertion changed meaning.

% ============================================================================
\begin{abstract}
We present the consensus mechanisms underlying Hanzo ACI (AI Chain
Infrastructure), a decentralized compute network where GPU operators serve AI
models and earn HANZO tokens for verified work. Unlike blockchains that achieve
consensus on transaction ordering, ACI must achieve consensus on computational
correctness: did a GPU node actually run the claimed model on the claimed input
and produce the claimed output? We introduce three novel consensus components:
(i)~Proof of AI Work (PoAI), a probabilistic verification protocol where
verifier nodes re-execute a random subset of inference requests to detect
dishonest workers, (ii)~GPU Cluster Consensus, a protocol for coordinating
distributed training and tensor-parallel inference across untrusted GPU nodes
with Byzantine fault tolerance, and (iii)~Inference Attestation, an on-chain
commitment scheme that binds inference outputs to specific model versions, input
hashes, and GPU node identities. We prove that PoAI detects cheating with
probability $1 - (1-p)^k$ where $p$ is the sampling rate and $k$ is the number
of verification rounds, and that the economic cost of cheating exceeds the
expected profit under the HANZO staking and slashing
mechanism~\cite{hanzotokenomics}. The system is deployed on Hanzo ACI with 240
GPU nodes, processing 47M inference requests per month with a measured cheating
detection rate of 99.97\% for a 5\% sampling rate.
