Today, we are launching the first stage of Project Orion.
Our early pre-training run of Orion-100B achieves upward of 65% of data-center training efficiency on hardware costing a fraction of the price.
Orion-100B is the first proof point for a simple idea: that underutilized compute around the world can be turned into frontier training capacity.
We believe that this work presents, for the first time, an economically compelling case for training large models using distributed approaches.
i want this to go up even faster haha. ive made massive seo progress on this site from 30 clicks in dec 2025 to nearly 2k for may. and i believe we should be able to double clicks for the month of june to over 4k.
Just for fun I kicked off a run of a 176b parameter model on ~140 steps to prove feasibility - 4 separate nodes across the internet using the "Parallax" method, works like a charm.
Still need a more concrete plan on dataset curation, phases, context elongation, etc. etc. before a full run is ready of this scale, but at least we know 176b should be no problem at all.
This is in Alpha only. But a $TAO -powered ChatGPT-like interface. https://t.co/Aha5LWUjJt . Only using bittensor subnets (like @chutes_ai ) for text and image inference. (cc @const_reborn , @BarrySilbert ). Any suggestions or bugs welcome. Will be 1/250th the price of chatgpt.
Q: How are job postings for software engineers rising rapidly despite AI agents automating coding?
A: Because there’s far more code to manage than ever before. We’re already seeing a 14x YoY increase in GitHub commits, and it’s accelerating.
AI has dramatically lowered the cost of writing code, so it’s now being used across far more businesses, applications, and use cases.
We’re at the beginning of a massive productivity boom driven by the proliferation of bespoke software throughout the entire economy.
Coding has been AI’s breakout use case this year. The fact that it’s increased demand for software engineers — rather than decreased it — should call into question the entire “AI will cause mass job loss” narrative.
Started buying bittensor in early 2023, on that sketchy exchange. I think that they were moving to the finney network or had just moved to the finney network
@SiamKidd i have an idea for a subnet i would like to create that i think is the single biggest thing that would help the network grow. a SN for getting miners independent of which sn they mined on. if you want to chat this would be the most valuable thing for the network
