TIGs model for open research has just been proven on one of the most valuable and important problem classes in the world
Multiple innovations from both human and AI researchers built on top of one another's ideas
Ultimately resulting in the largest single improvement in the modern history of the field
The Capacitated Vehicle Routing problem has applications in logistics, space exploration, and is central to robotics
But the consequences of this milestone go much, much further
This breakthrough is a final proof that we can keep algorithms open *and* funded at the same time
It has been known for decades that open development is far more powerful than the closed alternative at scale
This is why the Open Science of the West outcompeted closed science in the Soviet Union
That’s how Linux outcompeted Windows, and accelerated away, never to be caught
But open research can only scale if the incentives are sufficient
TIG built the first incentive mechanism for open algorithmic research, able to capture value and return it to those who generate it
And it does this while keeping all innovation open and available for others to build on top of
This is Open Source, in it’s true sense, super charged by monetary incentives, allocated by a market mechanism, and it is global
TIG will now be scaled to include thousands of challenges, all running concurrently
By providing the incentives necessary for open algorithm development and open data at scale
TIG enables, for the first time, true Open Source development of the fundamental layer of AI
And it does not get any bigger than that

Keeping algorithms open is necessary and probably sufficient to keep AI open
This is radically different from what is generally believed
If you want to know why, and how open algorithms can win, Friday's Space complements the article
As usual, @0x_Asuka did a great job of drawing out the important parts

Prometheus.
Prometheus, when combined with TIG, enables the collaborative mining and monetization of algorithms at scale.
No PhD.
No lab.
No permission.
@OasisRoseTrader Every time $rose starts to look halfway decent it either shits the bed immediately or the big orange ballsack tweets & nukes the entire market
@OasisProtocol The good news is u can’t do any worse Dominika. Pro tip - endless ‘TEE parties’ are not the answer. $rose bagholders are all rooting for you 🫡
