Nicholas Mainardi contributed to Lagrange-Labs/deep-prove by engineering advanced zero-knowledge machine learning infrastructure over four months. He developed and refactored core components for verifiable ML, including quantization toolkits, ONNX model parsing, and transformer macro-layers, focusing on both accuracy and maintainability. His work introduced new layers such as MatMul and QKV, enhanced padding and positional encoding support, and unified multi-head attention operations, all integrated with robust prover and verifier logic. Using Rust and Python, Nicholas emphasized code readability, modular architecture, and rigorous testing, resulting in a scalable, production-ready zkML framework that supports complex LLM and deep learning workloads.

July 2025 was focused on expanding verifiable ML capabilities and sharpening the architectural foundations in Lagrange-Labs/deep-prove. Delivered four major feature work items that enhance LLM-related computations, transformer modularity, and zkML proving capabilities, while improving documentation and CI to support ongoing adoption and reliability.
