Below is a breakdown of what was discussed in the above TAO talk. 1. Macro First: Bitcoin in Context Bitcoin is consolidating between $65K–$70K after dropping from $126K. Historically, prior cycles saw deeper drawdowns (e.g., ~77% in 2022), while this cycle has corrected roughly 52–53% so far. That suggests the most aggressive part of the…
In 2020, training a frontier AI model cost roughly $5 million, and by the year 2023, that number had climbed toward $50 to $100 million. Today, estimates range from $500 million to over $1 billion. The compounding curve tells a clear story. Artificial Intelligence is not just improving; it is concentrating. A small cluster of…
SUMMARY: In this episode of Gaea Talks, Max Sebti, the CEO of Subnet 44 (Score), and Graeme Scott discuss how vision AI and “collective intelligence” can transform complex industries by moving beyond simple chatbots to solve high-stakes real-world problems. Using a fully automated football annotation system as a case study, Sebti demonstrates how AI can…
In a recent Super Cycle episode (watch below), Evan (Chief Revenue Officer at Yuma) gave one of the clearest breakdowns yet of how Yuma emerged inside the Digital Currency Group (DCG) empire, why Bittensor is winning the decentralized AI race, and what it will take to push the ecosystem into its next phase of adoption….
We are joined by Chris Zacharia, founder of bitstarter.ai and founding partner at Macrocosmos. Outsider 1: Chris, the last time we chatted, Bitstarter was just starting to take shape. Two months later (sounds like 1 year), nearly 1,500 TAO have been deployed by more than 200 people across three projects launched within the Bittensor ecosystem….
Doug Sillars, Developer Relations lead at Taostats, recently joined the Ventura Labs podcast to break down what’s really happening inside the Bittensor ecosystem. From subnets behaving like real companies, to emission mechanics, MEV bots, and why most subnets will fail just like startups do in Web2, Doug offered one of the clearest explanations yet of…
The era of autonomous AI agents is here, but they face a critical hurdle: they can think and code, but they struggle to pay. Traditional payment rails built on credit cards, KYC, and monthly subscriptions are designed for humans, not software. Handshake58 (Subnet 58) is solving this by building a ”Trust Action Layer“ for the…
Cover image by: DreadBongo This video is a masterclass on what actually matters when building a Bittensor subnet. 1. A subnet is just a benchmark Const’s main point is simple: the entire subnet starts and ends with a benchmark. Before thinking about a product, website, revenue, or hype, you first need to define: If the…
February Week 2 delivered another strong wave of momentum across the Bittensor ecosystem, with major progress spanning decentralized reinforcement learning, AI search, agent tooling, storage infrastructure, and real-world adoption. Here are the biggest subnet milestones, ecosystem developments, and key media highlights from the past week. SUBNET UPDATES & ACHIEVEMENTS ➤ @IOTA_SN9 SN9 @MacrocosmosAI’s Train at…
This episode of The Super Cycle isn’t about token prices, charts, or short-term narratives. It’s about something much bigger: AI becoming the cheapest labor force in history, and crypto becoming the incentive engine that coordinates it. Here’s the full video on YouTube: Why Everyone Keeps Calling Bittensor “Bitcoin for AI” The conversation starts where most…
