Anza’s researchers stated that the Alpenglow model offers extremely low-latency finalization while maintaining robustness under adverse network conditions.

Quotes that support claims

Anza’s researchers claimed this model would result in ‘unprecedented finalization latency’ while enabling it to operate more effectively under ‘harsh network conditions.’

Rather than relying on the current node ‘gossip’ model, it will run a ‘faster direct communication primitive’ to vote on block finalization
