Bittensor subnets are like laser cannons.

Bittensor co-founder @const_reborn explains why the best subnets spent months defining exactly what they're measuring (inference, compute, storage) before they could scale.

"A Bittensor subnet is like a laser cannon. If it's not aimed perfectly, you're not shooting at the Death Star. You're shooting off into space. You're just producing noise."

Now the top subnets have it figured out.

"Now we have something very valuable. It works really well. There's no exploits. Let's bring this to market."

$TAO - Big announcement made live at @proofoftalk by @MaxScore : @webuildscore is targeting 40 million dollars ARR weighted pipeline, if potential clients continue to convert as expected.

Who’s gonna win the subnets revenue race 12 months from here? @TargonCompute, @chutes_ai or @webuildscore?

But yeah, Bittensor is dead 💋

@VantaTrading Suggestion: make it mandatory for miners to post their paid out profits screenshot to keep getting paid out. That becomes built in mktg for Vanta.

[xTAO - a Bittensor company @xtaohq]

Bittensor is the best asset class for exposure to decentralized AI.

While Big Tech frontier labs hoard models behind closed doors, Bittensor turns AI into a global, permissionless marketplace.

Miners earn. Validators rank. Builders innovate.

One token. Real utility. $TAO

[Trishool | SN23 @trishoolai]

We are pleased to announce that Trishool (SN23) has been officially accepted into the Google for Startups Web3 Program.

This milestone grants us access to up to $200,000 in Google Cloud credits over the next two years, alongside specialized Web3 resources, enhanced technical support, exclusive ecosystem opportunities, and strategic partnerships.

These resources will help us accelerate development, strengthen our AI safety and alignment initiatives, and continue building long-term value within the Bittensor ecosystem.

The work continues. 🚀

[Tao Outsider @TaoOutsider]

If @const_reborn sold 320t today, $TAO would go to 10$. Instead, he locked in all the TAOs of his wallets in Conviction.

Everyone has the leader they deserve.

[Tseu Tseu - τao @tseutseutao]

$TAO - We have two @bitstarterAI winners, two new subnets entering the game, selected by the @proofoftalk crowd and the jury, composed of @const_reborn, @mogmachine, @mikecontango and @macrozack!

Welcome to CLAIMS and PROVENONCE 🥳

[Tao Outsider @TaoOutsider]

$TAO Bittensor Track, Proof of Talk. Micaela Bazo delivered one of the strongest miner culture signals from the panel.

She mentioned meeting a NOVA miner who focuses on NOVA because the work is inspiring, forces him to think, and pushes him to build strategies instead of spam.

If miners are proud of the problem they are solving, the subnet is buying more than labor. It is attracting attention, judgment, and persistence.

For drug discovery, that matters. The problem is difficult enough that the best miners need something beyond emissions to keep showing up.

Thanks to: @micaelabazo @metanova_labs @SubnetSummerTAO @proofoftalk

[Subnet Summer @SubnetSummerTAO]

Four teams have just delivered their subnet pitches on the main stage at Proof of Pitch, hosted by @bitstarterAI.

The presentations sparked strong interest from contributors across the Bittensor ecosystem and beyond. The competing teams are:

▫️ Provenonce
▫️ Beneat
▫️ Symers
▫️ Claims

Huge respect to all four teams for bringing their visions to the Louvre stage.

Who do you think is winning?
Which team are you rooting for?

Winners will be announced shortly.

@0xJeff Alpha tokens wouldn’t even exist without $TAO. Neither would the subnets attached to those alpha tokens. Or the success that any of those subnets are enjoying. 🤷

This isn’t file transfer. This is decentralized bandwidth markets coming online in real time.

10GB in 21 seconds. No hyperscaler. No gatekeeper.

Phase 3 will break assumptions. Phase 4 will break business models.
