Introducing Subnet 24: Quasar by SILX AI

We are solving the context window limitation by introducing a new subnet for competitive long-text understanding.

What’s coming in 2026:

- We are actively updating our subnet code

- Quasar models will be released as open source

- An RL framework for enhancing open-source models

@Contrarian21 SN3 does pretraining, we do distillation

[Quasar @QuasarModels]

SN3 is now training Quasar models.

This time, we’re starting with a 10B model built on the new Quasar architecture an architecture we believe represents the future of LLMs, especially for long-context reasoning and memory.

Quasar is designed to push models beyond short-window intelligence and into systems that can truly handle massive context, retain structure, and reason across long sequences.

We’re calling on miners to help us take the best out of this architecture, improve it, optimize it, train it harder, and push Quasar models forward round after round.

Let’s build state of the art.

[τroy @TroyQuasar]

We are taking over Bittensor

Decentralized AI subnets will realize that the Quasar architecture is the best foundation for training the future of long-context reasoning.

long-context reasoning coming out of Bittensor SN24!

we have very interesting months ahead. enjoy..

[τroy @TroyQuasar]

Not just possible but also SOTA.

First SOTA useable decentralized LLM will come from bittensor specifically Quasar!

[WolfWammer @wolfwammer]

@QuasarModels @MuffinDannyH Const lock > conviction lock 🔐

The reason conviction was introduced was to avoid SN owners to liquidate their holders. That’s not possible with Const holding the keys. ERGO: no point of conviction for sn24.

@ahmd2ta Welcome to twitter Ahmed!
Our tech lead and the GOAT of Bittensor welcome to the dark side

[Quasar @QuasarModels]

Dear Quasar holders,

We want to clarify the current situation around Conviction and our subnet funds

As many of you know, Quasar was recently affected by two hacks, which caused us to lose a significant amount of our liquid alpha. Because of that, we currently only have around 24k liquid tokens available, with roughly 60k alpha in total

The most important thing to understand is this:

"We do not have access to the coldkey"

The coldkey is held securely with @const_reborn 100% of the funds are locked with him, and this setup is intentional for security.

After what happened, keeping the coldkey away from us is the safest decision for the subnet and for all holders.

Regarding Conviction: we are not going to lock through Conviction right now. Not because we are against it, but because Quasar is still less than one year old, so Conviction currently has no effect on ownership for us. Also, with our current liquidity position, locking the remaining liquid tokens would put us in a worse operational position.

So to be clear:

Quasar funds are secured with @const_reborn.
- We do not control the coldkey.
- We are not avoiding Conviction for bad reasons.

(We are simply waiting until we are in a better position where locking makes sense and does not hurt the subnet)

Our focus remains the same protect the subnet, protect holders, and keep pushing Quasar forward.

Thank you

[τroy @TroyQuasar]

People should consider that the only real bottleneck for Quasar progress right now is compute, and this will be solved very soon.

[The Bittensor Netrunner - TAO - NOCK - @TheTNetHunter]

Show me any other foundation model that's going SOTA,

Going to be trained decentralized 3B - 40B- 100B in Bittensor?

I'll wait.

[τroy @TroyQuasar]

We have a plan for Quasar API pricing across different model sizes

But actually, the core design itself is heavily focused on price, especially because we are focused on long context. Processing millions of tokens should keep getting cheaper and cheaper over time

[Quasar @QuasarModels]

Quasar mainnet is officially live

We’re starting with a new challenge distilling the Quasar-3B model and turning Bittensor into a real training engine for Quasar models.

This year, we’re pushing Quasar from 3B → 20B → 100B.

All Long-context models !

SN 3 X SN 24

Building real intelligence accross the network

[hendrik @Farahatyoussef0]

We’ve started a small partnership with SN3.

Our goal is to make Quasar the face of Bittensor, and achieving that requires support from across the network.

SN3 will contribute by training Quasar models, but miners and holders don’t need to worry about this for now.

The next step is establishing a checkpoint at SN24. We’ll define a clear performance target at SN24, and once that’s reached, we’ll move forward with SN3 to support training. The setup remains consistent same infrastructure, same approach just focused on Quasar models.

Looking forward to what’s coming next.
