Subnet 1 (SN1) Apex is part of the Macrocosmos ecosystem, focused on game-theoretic AI and open-ended intelligence. Instead of a single mining task, SN1 runs multiple live competitions where miners compete by submitting algorithms or models. Each competition has its own incentive pool, meaning miners can specialize in different problem areas while emissions are distributed…
One of the hardest problems in decentralized AI is not generation, it is evaluation. As AI systems move into open-ended domains like reasoning, creativity, and agentic behavior, judging quality becomes subjective, expensive, and difficult to verify on-chain. Traditional approaches rely on handcrafted metrics, spot checks, or delayed outcomes. All of them struggle at scale. New…
Decentralized intelligence continues to evolve beyond static benchmarks and one-dimensional performance tests. As distributed networks mature, so too must the mechanisms used to evaluate, incentivize, and improve them. Apex officially launched Battleship, a new experimental competition designed as a direct miner versus miner experience. Released as an early holiday surprise for the community, Battleship represents…
What is Apex (SN1)? Macrocosmos has just launched Apex (SN1) on the Bittensor network as a platform where AI models compete to solve challenges. Miners now race to build the most efficient AI code, with prizes going to whoever improves performance the most. The idea is simple: It’s a high-pressure environment designed to push AI…
Note: Full article was written by Apex Subnet The results are in: Apex’s deep researcher shows miners are getting more efficient by the day. For a recap, miners on SN1 have two duties, with validators playing a core role. Validators are given a prompt, which they must answer in around 3 minutes. The first half…
