The Bittensor Subnet Ideathon, run by the OpenTensor Foundation with HackQuest, is a global online event for builders interested in decentralized AI and incentive design. Participants design new Bittensor subnets by defining miner and validator roles, reward mechanisms, and real-world use cases. It is free to enter and structured to take ideas from concept to…
Current AI is impressive but fundamentally limited. ChatGPT can write essays and code, but it sometimes fails at simple reasoning puzzles that children solve easily. These models memorize patterns from massive datasets rather than truly understanding how the world works. Hone is trying to fix this. Operating as Subnet 5 on Bittensor, Hone is a…
SUMMARY: The video examines Elon Musk’s criticism of OpenAI and the risks of centralized AI, using it as a springboard to analyze Bittensor as a public, decentralized alternative for AI ownership and investment. It positions TAO as a small but growing player in a $400B+ AI market, highlighting real revenue–generating subnets, recent halving dynamics, and…
During a Hackquest event in Tsinghua university, Beijing, Const (the co-founder of Bittensor), explains why Bittensor exists, how it generalizes Bitcoin’s mining model, and why incentive-driven networks may outperform centralized AI labs. His conversation focuses on Bittensor’s fundamentals, not token prices. Watch below: Speaker (Const) Background Why AI Changed After 2012 The Universal Pattern of…
SUMMARY: This episode of The Futurist examines how decentralization, AI, and blockchain are reshaping the internet, finance, and global industry, tracing the shift from centralized infrastructure to a more open, user-owned digital economy. It introduces the idea of a “self-writing internet,” where AI builds apps and services on demand while preserving data and code ownership,…
By: Victor Here’s a structured rundown of the most important developments across the Bittensor ecosystem this week, covering subnet milestones, investments, launches, ecosystem updates, and new research and media. Subnet Updates & Achievements ➤ Templar AI (SN3)Covenant72B training has been completed, making it the largest model ever trained on decentralized infrastructure. ➤ Score (SN44)Score introduced…
Gordon sat with Jared Lawrence for a conversation that breaks down where Bitcoin and Bittensor are heading as markets sit at a critical inflection point. With Bitcoin hovering around key technical levels and multiple macro-driven scenarios in play, attention is increasingly shifting to Bittensor’s fast-evolving ecosystem. From major infrastructure moves like Astrid’s acquisition of TaoFi…
Contributor: Crypto Pilote Training modern AI models has become a real struggle against the laws of physics. Models are getting larger and larger and require the use of many GPUs, all connected together to form something like a supercomputer. To be efficient, exchanges between GPUs must be extremely fast (nanoseconds). At this scale, even the…
SUMMARY: The video highlights Bittensor’s TAO token resurgence and positions the ecosystem as a diversified AI marketplace where investors can gain exposure through specialized subnets rather than TAO alone. It spotlights four notable subnets—Chutes, Lium, Ridges, and Targon—covering serverless compute, GPU marketplaces, autonomous agent training, and private compute environments. Together, these examples illustrate how Bittensor’s…
SUMMARY: The video presents Bittensor as a rare, genuinely decentralized AI marketplace where models compete on measurable performance rather than brand or centralized control, supported by a fair-launch token, Bitcoin-like supply cap, and a growing subnet economy. It explains TAO’s tokenomics, halving mechanics, and real subnet use cases while candidly addressing risks such as complexity,…
