Sable proves bit-exact LLM inference on one GPU
First merged summary.
Sable proves a committed integer-quantized open-weight transformer produced a token sequence bit for bit, in tens of seconds on one GPU.
Researchers present Sable, a single-GPU argument system that a committed integer-quantized transformer produced a given token sequence bit for bit. It uses a fixed integer function with no floating-point step and a sumcheck constraint system over the 31-bit KoalaBear prime, streaming layers on one NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell GPU. It covers open-weight Qwen2.5-32B, Qwen3-32B and Qwen3-30B-A3B at 41 to 50 times serving time. Proofs are not zero-knowledge. A CPU verifier checks them in 19 to 56 seconds, and the authors report soundness error of 2^-103.
- Qwen2.5-32B: 92.5 seconds for 4,096 tokens and 398 seconds for 16,384.
- Qwen3-32B and Qwen3-30B-A3B take 121.8 and 84.7 seconds at 4,096 tokens.
- A 4,096-token proof is priced at 6.4 cents at public GPU rates.
- CPU verification takes 19 to 56 seconds; soundness error is 2^-103.
- Greedy tokens match BF16 at 86.3% of WikiText-2 positions.
- Proofs are 40 to 64 times faster per parameter and token than zkLLM; code is public.
