Quill

Quill is a protocol on Base building fully onchain language models by moving inference into the EVM: weights and computation are expressed in integer arithmetic and the forward pass runs in contracts, so any contract can read and verify the result without APIs, oracles or offchain compute. Anyone can train and deploy a model and call it as a contract, and the same input always yields the same output.

Determinism buys composability: a model's output can serve as a condition in another contract, and generated content can be inscribed permanently with a traceable origin. The platform meters usage accordingly, charging per call and splitting fees between model authors and the protocol, with a portion burned. It is the verifiable-inference branch of AI plus blockchain, the inverse of running models offchain and posting results, and the trade-off is that model size is bounded by gas and block limits.
