The market is pricing zkML as a research infrastructure. While the regulatory clock is already locked in. The EU AI Act is in force. Enforcement starts in 2026. High-risk AI deadlines land in 2027–2028. Penalties are a % of global revenue, not warnings. That means: enterprises must prepare ahead of time, not after getting fined. Markets price attention. Enterprises buy on calendars. When legal and risk enter the boardroom, the deciding factor becomes: what can be proven. Infrastructure will be chosen based on its ability to pass future audits. zkML is mispriced on timing, not on technology. It’s a tool for compliance teams in 2027. In that context, @inference_labs looks very different: ▸ already running at production scale ▸ proofs stored permanently ▸ economics solved before enforcement begins The real buyers aren’t on Twitter yet. They show up in boardrooms in 2026. The market is pricing by the hype cycle. Enterprises buy by regulatory timelines. And that gap is alpha.
