Proof of Talk @proofoftalk was the perfect place to bring the world of @bittensor, finance and crypto up to date with what we’re building on subnet 44
@webuildscore provides an open marketplace for deployable vision capabilities
@manakoai is an enterprise product combining those vision capabilities into vision agents, running locally where the cameras are at.
you need to own the new means of production. own some mac minis or the new RTX spark in your home. plug them into actual computer (sn 95) and build an internet compute cluster with your friends that also own actual computers. then turn on earning mode on targon (sn 4) to passively monetize your cluster. connect your cluster to iota (sn 9) or pluralis to help train a 100B+ parameter model so you and your friends own a piece of a large decentralized model. then host the model on openrouter so you and your friends get paid to use the model

One Day with Bittensor. Not a week. One day.
Seven different fronts in the war for who owns intelligence, and $TAO was advancing them all at once.
No company on earth ships like this.
@MacrocosmosAI launched Project Orion, an early pre-training run of Orion-100B. A 100B parameter model trained across 16 pipeline stages and 3 replicas on globally distributed single GPUs.
30%+ Model FLOP Utilization on A100s.
Up to 65% of data-center training efficiency, using hardware that costs a fraction of the price.
The old AI moat was simple:
You need the billion-dollar cluster.
Bittensor keeps attacking that assumption.
We already have Covenant-72B. Now Orion-100B is pushing the same idea further:
Underutilized compute around the world can become frontier training capacity.
@oroagents SN15 dropped post-training results.
A distilled 4B model with comparable correctness to frontier models, at under 1/10th the cost and roughly 2x the speed.
Their ShoppingBench stack scored 42.7.
GPT-5.5 scored 38.7.
This came from roughly 24,000 high-quality agent trajectories, with 20,000 more flowing daily.
A Qwen3-4B base climbed from 18% to 42%.
That is open competition distilling frontier capability into something smaller, faster, cheaper, and easier to run.
@manakoai, through Score SN44, announced @oblong_inc, Nasdaq: TWAV, invested in Manako and partnered on North American commercialization.
A public-market company plugging into a Bittensor subnet.
@webuildscore is turning existing camera infrastructure into real-time operational intelligence, powered by SN44.
That is the public market starting to touch decentralized AI infrastructure.
@chutes_ai SN64 showed the revenue line that matters.
A year ago, almost nothing earned per token served.
Today, roughly $280K per trillion tokens.
And this is happening while cutting models and compute.
Same work.
More revenue per unit.
Then that revenue flows back into buying and staking the token.
A subnet paying for itself in public.
Conviction went live and teams started locking.
Score locked $1M of SN44 in perpetual conviction.
@heydittoai SN118 locked 40,000 alpha, 100% of the team’s holdings.
@taostats shipped a live conviction table showing subnet-level lockups and king-flip timelines.
This is not “trust me bro.”
This is teams putting long-term commitment on-chain where everyone can see it.
Then the same day:
@trishoolai SN23 launched HALO, an open guard model that sits in front of AI apps and classifies what goes in and out.
@theminos_ai SN107 announced its scientific advisor, Philipp Koellinger, founder of DeSci Labs, will speak at Proof of Talk in Paris on Bittensor as infrastructure for verifiable scientific claims.
@zipcodenetwork SN46 went live, bringing decentralized intelligence and capital under one roof for real-world financial services.
@mvtrx_79 SN79 teased GenTRX, exchange-history-trained trading AI.
@desearch_ai SN22 and @Bitcast_network@Stitch3_ai shipped tooling.
Ditto’s MCP went live for Claude, Codex, and Hermes.
Read that again.
Distributed training.
Model distillation.
Nasdaq partnership.
Revenue compounding.
On-chain governance.
AI security.
Decentralized science.
Real-world finance.
Trading intelligence.
Search infrastructure.
All in one day.
This is where the comparison to companies breaks down.
Google can ship fast inside Google’s lanes.
NVIDIA owns hardware.
OpenAI ships models.
But no single company ships frontier training, shopping agents, genomics, on-chain finance, public-market partnerships, AI safety, search infrastructure, and trading intelligence in the same day.
A company is capped by its payroll.
Bittensor is capped by everyone on earth who can solve a problem and prove it.
That is the difference.
The closest historical comparison is not a company.
It is the early internet protocol era.
A base layer nobody owned, where thousands of unrelated things could bloom at once.
$TAO
DYOR.
The most important thing to understand about Orion is it closes the circle on the thesis for @IOTA_SN9.
Not just frontier scale models, but using compute acquired at a fraction of the cost, orchestrated together with MFU approaching frontier performance.
We're very pleased and excited to announce the first subnet we have incubated: Endure, $TAO subnet 30.
Over the past months, we've spoken with well over 10 teams exploring the idea of launching a subnet.
Endure stood out from day one.
The team has been building in DeFi since 2017, has managed protocols with TVLs of up to $1 billion, and has been following and investing in Bittensor since 2023.
Just as importantly, they have a deep understanding of both the technical and economic side of building sustainable infrastructure.
What really excites us, is the first product being built on top of the subnet.
It addresses a significant challenge within the Bittensor ecosystem today, particularly for subnet owners, and we believe it has the potential to become a foundational piece of infrastructure for the network, with the subnet being a critical component of the product itself.
More on that soon.
Over the past month, we've already been working closely with the team behind the scenes on strategy, design, communications, and ecosystem positioning as they build toward a succesfull launch.
For now, if you'd like to learn more about Endure and the vision behind Subnet 30, check out the post below.
Manako turns the camera infrastructure organisations already have into real-time understanding of their operations, no new hardware or specialist AI expertise required.
Today we’re announcing that TaoWeave (@oblong_inc) (Nasdaq: TWAV) has invested in Manako and partnered with us on North American commercialisation, accelerating our expansion into the world’s largest market for AI adoption powered by sn44 (@webuildscore) on Bittensor.

Good morning Paris.
This week at @proofoftalk for sn44:
Monday: Strategic announcement and conviction lock.
Tuesday: @tm0klc takes the stage on why an open visual intelligence layer matters for the world.
Wednesday: @MaxScore sits with institutional stakeholders on subnet growth and distribution.
Thursday: Tim, Max and @arnod3f get back on the road deploying @manakoai across more @Avia_France petrol stations.
Friday: Well, let’s see.
