Basilica AI (SN39) has announced its first public subnet partnership following a major architectural overhaul, teaming up with Gradients AI (SN56) inside the Bittensor ecosystem. According to the announcement, Gradients is now using Basilica’s infrastructure to run reinforcement learning (RL) evaluations, tapping into GPU access, container runtimes, and serverless compute without needing to manage the…
Basilica (Bittensor subnet 39), a subnet under the Covenant ecosystem, has launched a sandbox container for OpenClaw agents. The goal is to run powerful self-hosted AI agents without giving them full access to your machine or private keys. Why This Matters OpenClaw is an open-source framework that lets users run persistent AI agents on their…
For a long time, “Decentralized AI Training” was viewed as a science experiment, cool in theory but impossible in practice. The narrative was simple: “You can’t train massive AI models across the internet. It’s too slow.” But this week, that narrative shifted. Jack Clark, co-founder of Anthropic (the company behind Claude AI) and former policy…
SUMMARY: Covenant Labs delivered the 17th episode of TGIF at the NeurIPS conference in San Diego, highlighting major progress across Templar, Basilica and the broader Covenant 72B initiative. The brief emphasized how Templar unlocks decentralized pre-training at a scale traditionally reserved for hyperscalers, earning strong interest from researchers and industry partners. Basilica’s relaunch also introduces…
Three months after launching its first version, Basilica (Subnet 39 on Bittensor) is rethinking what decentralized compute should look like on Bittensor. The team behind the project shared an in-depth update on Covenant Labs’ TGIF Community Call, outlining a bold new direction focused on efficiency, sustainability, and smarter incentives for miners. For Basilica, its mission…
SUMMARY: In a TGIF community brief held on October 24, Covenant Labs shared major progress across their full AI pipeline on Bittensor. Templar continues to lead decentralized pretraining, outperforming centralized baselines and scaling the largest live distributed model. Grail is now showing successful post training results on mainnet, while Basilica prepares a shift to real…
August 26, 2025 — Novelty Search series will host a livestream discussion this week on decentralized AI training within the Bittensor ecosystem. The discussion will highlight key subnets pioneering distributed compute infrastructure. The session, featuring insights from @DistStateAndMe and hosted by @const_reborn, will receive participation from: Subnet 3: Templar — enabling decentralized, incentivized AI training across…
SUMMARY: Travis explores the Bittensor market, analyzing overvalued and undervalued subnets while highlighting productivity and potential scams. He evaluates metrics like code commits, miner participation, and miner burn rates across subnets such as Bitcast, Ridges, and Basilica. The video emphasizes cautious investment strategies, favoring active subnets with strong development activity for better risk-reward opportunities. ⚠️ Editor’s…
