Vision AI is not solved.
We are solving it in the open. On Bittensor.
Accurate enough to trust. Fast enough to act. Efficient enough to deploy.
Up to 400x more efficient than a frontier model, equal or better accuracy, small enough to run next to the camera.
@tm0klc's full @proofoftalk keynote below 👇
Happened just now:
✅ Phase 1: Prove Beam orchestration works
✅ Phase 2: Performance
⏳ Phase 3: Scalability
⏳ Phase 4: Open it to the world
We just completed Phase 2:
10 GB transferred from R2 → Internet → R2 in 21 seconds on a distributed network.
Phases 3 and 4 are coming fast.
Beam SN105 #Bittensor
I like sn with obvious potential, owners with industry experience and more than anything I like subnets that are undiscovered.
Compute needs data.
Agents need data.
Storage needs movement.
Beam is trying to make that movement open, measurable, and usable.
$TAO SN105 @b1m_ai is early, but this is a very serious infrastructure play.
Added more exposure to $BEAM at these levels, one of the most underappreciated subnets in the Bittensor ecosystem.
SN105.
Everyone's fixated on GPUs and power grids. The real bottleneck choking AI is bandwidth, billions in GPU clusters sitting idle, starving for data.
@b1m_ai is a decentralised bandwidth network. Proof of Bandwidth, verifiable transfer, paid out in $TAO. Already moving 500MB in 21–29s, at par with the centralised giants.
$3M cap
$500B industry
Backed by @YumaGroup.
Nobody's connected the dots yet.
The future of data orchestration will require flexibility across clouds, platforms, and environments.
Permissionless | Open source | Programmable
Already running on Beam SN105.

Subnet 123: Mantis
@MANTISBittensor@Barbarian7676
https://t.co/RPtdafMvsz
The end of the month is getting very close.
MANTIS is already in Paris, @proofoftalk
I’m looking forward to seeing the first buyback and burn, and even more curious to hear the latest updates on the ongoing experiment being conducted in collaboration with Const.
Interesting times ahead.
The next few weeks could tell us a lot about where this subnet is heading.
We have performed our first buyback and burn for MANTIS: extrinsic:8297342-0014
Our burn wallet is: 5CJUVWP5wyVSZnfvDyhwBbsY2Vhfub239JtaVvAKSkHuj7Bd
The burn is roughly $5896.80 USD.
We have also locked ~50% of our owner alpha via CONVICTION.
In the coming days and weeks we will be releasing a few papers on miner signal within MANTIS, the methodology, and our development of the incentive mechanism going forward.
We will also be releasing a v2 of the website on a similar timeframe
Beam $TAO sn (SN105)
AMA with Nick Savy, hosted by The Nerds
I am going to start backwards. First what I think, then our AMA.
@b1m_ai might be only 2 months old, but the idea is not new. Every stage is carefully planned. Once paid traffic opens, this subnet scales fast. Nick Savy is experienced and knows exactly what market he is going after. As soon as I realized what he is building, I bought a bunch of alpha. I think this subnet can do some serious multiples once it gets running. For me this subnet clicks and I wanted an experienced operator to lead it.
Here is our AMA.
The Nerds hosted Nick Savy from @b1m_ai today $TAO SN105, launched April 2026.
@b1m_ai is decentralized bandwidth and data transfer for the agentic era. Not compute. Not inference. The transport layer. Clients submit transfers, orchestrators coordinate worker pools, workers move bytes, validators verify delivery.
Nick spent his career as an Enterprise Architect for Fortune 100 companies. Data lakes, warehouses, consumer data systems. Beam comes from watching how broken enterprise data movement still is.
Team is lean: 3 devs on protocol, 1 product lead, 1 on integrations, small advisor group.
Product is real. 5 SDK connectors live: S3, R2, Hippius, Google Cloud, Webhooks. Salesforce in progress. Adobe Experience Platform extension launching soon. AEP powers 70-80% of Fortune 500 consumer data. Plug into AEP and the buyer list is the largest enterprises in the world.
Network: 207 miners, ~1,100 workers, uncapped. Latest benchmark 5GB in 51 seconds on R2. Target sub-30.
PRISM is live. Beam is not saying "trust our miners." PRISM scores verified transfer activity, execution quality, reliability, confidence, proof-based exposure. New orchestrators qualify before earning. Architecture separates clients, orchestrators, workers, validators so miners cannot transfer to themselves and farm emissions.
The token answer was the most important part of the AMA.
Alpha is the oil of the network. Clients will not buy BEAM directly. They buy credits with stablecoins through a portal, like a normal API business. Orchestrators can pay workers in stablecoins too, avoiding constant sell pressure.
API revenue plan: fund operations first (self-funded today), then buyback and burn. Specifics being worked through with Bittensor advisors. The team is thinking about token capture instead of pretending emissions are revenue.
Commercially, Beam is pre-revenue. The 2.4 PB moved is all test traffic. No paid transfers yet by design. Tune miners first, harden delivery, guarantee quality before opening the gates.
That answer made me more bullish, not less. I would rather hear "this is test traffic, here is the sequence" than vague adoption claims.
The enterprise build pattern is telling. Pipeline under NDA, but Beam is building SAML, SSO, audit logging, and an Orchestrator Partner Program requiring GDPR, CCPA, HIPAA, SOC compliance. Those are what enterprise legal teams demand.
GTM: Adobe AEP extension, Salesforce connector, cloud migration partners from Nick's Fortune 100 days. Distribution leverage, not pure direct sell.
Milestone I liked most: in 1-2 months Nick wants agents moving data automatically through Beam. If that works, Beam becomes a coordination layer for agentic workflows.
Synergies named: Hippius for storage, TPN for endpoint obfuscation.
Honest gaps. No named customers. Token capture partially specified. BeamCore decentralization not detailed. Penalty floor on cheaters still soft.
Beam is pre-revenue infrastructure with a serious founder, a real mechanism, and a credible commercial path. Nick comes from the exact world @b1m_ai is trying to fix.
The one thing to watch in the next 30-60 days: first paid client transfer. Everything else is preparation. That is when Beam crosses from promising subnet to active infrastructure.
Beam Transfer Studio will become Beam’s flagship product for institutions.
The goal is simple:
make distributed data movement plug-and-play.
Beam Transfer Studio will allow organizations to:
- Orchestrate data movement across clouds, databases, storage providers, and endpoints
- Deploy programmable transfer workflows
manage distributed transfers through a unified control plane
- Leverage Beam’s distributed bandwidth network without dealing with infrastructure complexity
No vendor lock-in.
No single-cloud dependency.
No complex orchestration stacks.
Just programmable, high-performance data movement built for the agentic era.
Beam is evolving from a subnet into distributed transfer infrastructure.
We are still actively building Beam Transfer Studio and expect to launch soon.
More details coming in the weeks ahead.
This is what SN44 is built for.
Bring your computer vision challenge. Our miners will distill the models. You walk away with vision skills ready to make your cameras intelligent.
Like @manakoai is about to prove tomorrow.
tomorrow @manakoai goes live in a fuel station for the first time ever
what started as an idea on a deck is about to become realer than anything i've ever shipped
first time sn44 outputs hit the physical world too
huge thanks to the miners on @webuildscore making this real
and life being life, we're deploying our first vision agent in the city where i was born
see you tomorrow

“Signal in the swarm.”
The recently shared +106% net figure now appears to have been confirmed by @Barbarian7676 as being consistent with:
• live trading
• paper trading
• backtests
The important nuance: the subnet seems intent on avoiding premature hype and is now communicating more cautiously regarding certain risk metrics.
But behind the noise, something genuinely interesting is starting to emerge:
miners → signals → meta-model → agents → execution → PNL
And now… buyback & burn mechanisms funded by trading revenue.
If this mechanism becomes recurrent over time:
“a subnet generating real PNL and using that PNL to buy back and burn its own token”
…then we may be entering a completely different category from what the market currently imagines.
MANTIS is starting to look less and less like a simple prediction subnet.
And more and more like a decentralized autonomous quantitative research infrastructure.
