Guest intro
Ismael Hishon-Rezaizadeh is CEO and co-founder of Lagrange Labs, where he leads the development of DeepProve, the world’s fastest zkML library for verifiable AI inference. He spearheaded the first zero-knowledge proof of Google’s Gemma3 large language model, demonstrating production-ready verification at 158x the performance of competing solutions. His work advances ZK technology from crypto applications to defense-critical uses like securing autonomous drone swarms.
