Founding Engineer @MacrocosmosAI | @bitstarterAI 👾 Previous: Machine Learning (@opentensor, @parallel_domain) 🇨🇦
Joined January 2020
I've been a developer in Bittensor for ~1 year and I wanted to share some personal reflections 🧵

Talisman AI - SN45 has integrated Data Universe - SN13 into our subnet and are working to entirely replace the X / Twitter API as the social media validation source. Thank you for the collaboration @MacrocosmosAI 🤝 This is just our first subnet integration. Can you guess which

Kai is great, and he always has an interesting perspective in the space. Take a look at personal dTAO work!
dTAO fundamentally shifted #Bittensor’s community. The social fabric has altered. We've drifted from a 'collectivist' space to an 'individualist' one. It's the biggest ideological move in the protocol’s history, and it’s not just in your head. I wrote about the good, the bad,

IOTA’s loss journey - from over 9.5 to 4.28 📉 Take a look at our longest run, with rollbacks, imperfections, warts and all. We can’t achieve this without our core fanbase. Miners providing distributed compute 🤝 Devs building sick architecture. That’s how decentralization

Distributed networks will be the only way to train frontier models by 2028. @IOTA_SN9 is transforming the long tail of global compute into a frontier data center. From impossible to indistinguishable.

Score x @ReadingFC Over the next year with @ReadingFC, we’ll build vision AI models that turn match footage into game changing insights for their coaches and players, and systems that make stadium operations smarter and more efficient for elite sport organisations.

@HungNgu76442123 @covenant_ai Covenant 72 B is currently matching centralised training with regards to efficiency. The cost for pretraining is such a massive barrier to entry , which is why most people dont do it. Just post-train on Qwen 32B

If a new subnet’s incentive mechanism doesn’t work, the subnet won’t work @GylesTensora knows incentives inside out - because @TensoraGroup have mined almost every subnet ever Gyles’s guidance gifts that knowledge new teams, giving them the best chance to thrive⚡️

@bitstarterAI is ultimately about growth: of start-ups, of business, and of society itself. If it takes talented, motivated, ambitious founders months & months to find funding, talent, and partners, we're finished. #Bittensor has the compute. Britain has the rest.

(1) Our team at @GoogleDeepMind has been collaborating with Terence Tao and Javier Gómez-Serrano to use our AI agents (AlphaEvolve, AlphaProof, & Gemini Deep Think) for advancing Maths research. They find that AlphaEvolve can help discover new results across a range of problems.

Covenant72B checkpoint 2 just dropped. Still tracking well against LLM360 K2 at the same training stage, and now beating smaller models that have seen way more tokens. We're aiming for 1.2-1.4T tokens this run. Our goal is to hit Llama2-70B performance but with a more permissive

Will's working on what I believe to be one if the biggest opportunities in AI: distributed model training IOTA (Subnet 9) is the only *live* distributed training network "If we project IOTA forward, we will have a system that we could actually train a frontier model on, that

Let's be clear. This is the slickest frontend in all of #Bittensor. No contest. Precise data-scraping, grabbed straight from X, Reddit, and YouTube. Powered by SN13 miners. Pick hashtags, keywords, and YouTube channels. Not sure what you want? Our built-in agent’s got you
