Some notes from the Bittensor event this morning:. - For many ETH OGs entering the ecosystem, Bittensor’s incentive mechanism - which encourages the design of ecosystems centered around a decentralized objective function - has sparked the same excitement they once felt when smart.

Week 7 Analysis.Wk 7's airdrop was WILD to say the least, a bugged distribution sending lots of highly active users on an emotional rollercoaster. thankfully it was fixed shortly after. 🧵In this thread I will reveal how to boost your points next week:

🧵Friendtech Week 9 Analysis.⚠️Massive sybil farming operations spotted!⚠️. Most users received slightly lower points per eth this week, mostly due to this week's reduced drop (~3.2m points) and the presence of hidden sybil farms!. PPE leaderboards and sybil analysis below👇

Subnet builders are goated AF, they need to be experts in:.- AI.- Blockchain.- Distributed systems (supporting infra ran by hundreds of miners and validators).- Game theory and mechanism design (pvping w/ miners perpetually).- Web app dev. 🫡 to all the subnet builders out there.

Summary from the call:. dTAO is very important - we cannot allow validators to keep unsustainable subnets alive, and an open market despite being ultra-speculative is unfortunately the best solution at driving actual economic growth of the ecosystem. It’s hard for a single.
. Add this one the diary . when we have all recovered from our hangovers, Bittensor's validators will finally sit down together to discuss our roles both now and into the future.

🧵 Few thoughts on this (as a team that has finetuned/pretrained LLMs, built RAG applications, and mined $TAO/validated on the various Bittensor subnets):. TL;DR: Improvements are being made, @TensorplexLabs and many entities in addition to @opentensor will play a role.

Of course @stevechen would understand this, YouTube unlocked the infra for content distribution, what made it grow to its success today was the community that grown around generating content. Imagine how much bigger this gets with community generated intelligence driven by $TAO.
Steve Chen (@stevechen), founder of @Youtube alongside @chad_hurley is now re-tweeting Bittensor news. You are not bullish enough. $TAO

If you think $stTAO is simply a rehypothecating LST for DeFi you'd be in for a surprise. We're bootstrapping a new interface to contribute to open source AI development. This is the first stage of many to come. Pushin'(Pushin' τ)

🚨To conclude:.1. Portfolio Value is still the most important factor.2. Diversify your keyholders as much as possible.3. Avoid self buying.4. Be active on the app everyday!.5. Focus on using the app and make the most out of it!. That's all for Week 7, see you guys next week!👋

There is a lot of misunderstanding with specific Bittensor subnets and the efficiency of these mechanisms which were already well addressed. This echoes the initial scepticism that greeted Bitcoin since 2009 and even today. But I think we're losing focus on what's most important:.

Bittensor was founded on the idea that anyone with specialised resources and knowledge could contribute to decentralised AI. Tensorplex Dojo extends the participation to everyone. It transforms a passive community of believers into an active contributor set who can work.
Imagine a future where autonomous AI agents and humans co-create seamlessly. Tensorplex Dojo is a decentralized platform for human-AI collaboration—where humans and AI work together to solve complex problems. It starts with crowdsourcing intelligence on Bittensor, but it’s built

Imagine the possibilities when you introduce MEV-like incentives for LLM finetuning/pretraining 🔥. @TensorplexLabs is the first team to repurpose our HFT/MEV crew to focus on pretraining/finetuning LLMs but I am sure we are not the last. We welcome our future competition. (τ, τ).
After dominating Pre-training Subnet 9, we're proud to announce that we've achieved rank 1 on @NousResearch's Fine-tuning Subnet 6 with ~85% lower loss than the previous top model!

If you look at what the Subnet 19 miners are doing it's pretty impressive, they're already optimising inference libraries and infrastructure similar to the MEV searchers in the mempool. Soon these guys will be digging into the trenches of CUDA C++ core libraries. .

Throughout our Bittensor validator journey we’ve come across the amazing work put up by the various Subnet teams and wanted to showcase some of the highlights of what we've seen so far. We’re excited to start with one of the less-understood subnets, @omron_ai. SN2 Omron is.

3 months ago during the Bittensor Asia meetup we were commenting on how the speed of high quality subnets onboarding was far outpacing that of high quality validators. Today things have changed, with Crucible, Yuma and now Latent, the forces are balancing again. Accelerate!.
🕊️ Today I’m very excited and honored to announce that @OSSCapital has helped incorporate and is initially investing $3M in @LatentHoldings (unveiling now as you read this) as founding partner. Our mission at Latent is to accelerate the digital transformation of intelligence.

The @dippy_ai Subnet 11 team filled the room with world-class AI talent at the Google x Bittensor event yesterday!. Really hyped for the broader AI community to learn about @opentensor. We will be sharing long-form content from the event soon, but hope this clip gives a small

At @TensorplexLabs we have invested significant time and effort into applying the same level of rigor in subnet assessments as seen in academic peer reviews and venture capital due diligence. We recognise that not every validator team can thoroughly review each subnet in the.
@xavi3rlu This is the type of diligence that needs to be going into assigning weights to subnets. Not "oh this is subnet is a cool idea, const pls halp and give it weight!!!". ty for your service.

To conclude:. - Distribution is still highly dependent on portfolioValue. - Multipliers applied to buy/sell txns. - Farming principles remain largely similar. - Sybils are causing a reduction in points for organic users, if nerfed that would mean more points for everyone!🎉

In total, usernames with the same pattern have managed to farm approximately 300k points! I'm sure there are many more independent clusters that do not employ this username style. Do take note that not all accounts are sybil. Let's hope the Friendtech team fixes this!

We previously calculated realised profits based on unstake events solely. But this led to some confusion as it seemed like subnet owners were selling their dTAO to realise profits, but it was due to them restaking to optimise yields. Anyways this is fixed, check it out again!.
hey Bittensor investors, which subnet owners dumping on you?. @TensorplexLabs backprop site gives you the answer. realized pnl means they sold alpha for TAO. the more alpha sold, the more they dumping. realized pnl "-" means they haven't sold.

Kaito's subnet pivoted to text-embedding models 2 weeks ago and they've already surpassed OpenAI's embedding model, can't wait to see how much further we can go!.
Milestone update - . 2 weeks since the release of the new embedding task, miner loss has finally started to improve compared to the baseline OpenAI text-embedding model, driven mainly by newly registered miners today. We expect this gap to further widen as competition continues

This resonates with me on a much deeper level, as someone from Asia it is home to many incredibly talented individuals who, due to various socio-economic barriers, have remained outside the purview of the flourishing startup ecosystems found in places like SV. Imagine a highly.
Truly decentralized systems are supranational and don’t adhere to standard geopolitics — indeed, they render them obsolete. I’ll be visiting Asia to discuss refocusing the AI race through non-permissioned borderless competitive systems; I believe it's the way to avert an AI hot.

Backprop is named after “backpropagation,” the process that updates neural network weights in order to train AI models. In Bittensor, the subnet token price—determined by the market—acts like the output layer, guiding subnet weight assignments. This real-time feedback.

Bittensor's incentive mechanism attracts the most competitive miners. On Subnet 13, a small number of dedicated miners have scraped over 18 billion datapoints—highly skilled participants can outperform crowdsourcing from hundreds of thousands of less-specialized contributors.

Have been sensing the same stigma when speaking to folks in established web2 roles when I was in SF/Boston. It's mostly genuine curiosity but sometimes you notice a tinge of suspicion and disbelief when they make snide remarks associating the entire industry to FTX, Luna,.
