First it is the model, the llm.

Then it is the harness, the backend and the tool calls.

Next it is the agent, the memory and the planning.

From there it becomes the organization, the swarm, and your orchestrator.

And then it becomes the protocol, a connective market, incentives and their governance.

Vidaio x Pip Studios — Joint Venture

We are beyond excited to announce this joint venture! This is bigger than a partnership. It’s a gateway to the global media ecosystem.

Through this joint venture, VidaioOS is now positioned directly within Pip Studios’ network spanning major studios, platforms, and content owners, including Netflix, Amazon, Sony, Universal, Paramount, and more.

This means:
�� Direct access to enterprise workflows
→ Real-world video workloads entering the network
→ Faster adoption at scale

Pip Studios is part of the TPN (Trusted Partner Network), the industry standard for secure content handling. That places VidaioOS inside trusted pipelines used by the world’s biggest players.

This isn’t about selling individual tools, its about embedding an AI-native video infrastructure layer across an existing global client base. Think of this as a gateway to 50+ major partnerships.

We’re not just building the future of video infrastructure; we’re now connected to where it already operates.

[Subnet Summer @SubnetSummerTAO]

Proud to spotlight the winners of the Bittensor Subnet Hackathon! 🏆

Bittensor Subnet Hackathon Round 2 – Final 24 Hours

The submission window for Bittensor Subnet Hackathon Round 2 closes tomorrow, March 31, 2026.

In this execution phase, both the top 7 teams and the honorable mentions from Round 1 have been developing and deploying functional subnet prototypes on the Bittensor testnet. These teams have worked to transform their innovative concepts into operational solutions that demonstrate real value within Bittensor’s decentralized machine intelligence network.

Round 1: focused on ideation, including subnet architecture, incentive mechanisms, miner-validator dynamics, and sustainability strategies.

Round 2: required participants to implement these ideas in a live testnet environment, testing performance, technical feasibility, and alignment with Bittensor’s market-driven model.

Prize Pool and Opportunities
▫️ Total prize pool: $23,000 USD
▫️ Top-performing teams will gain direct entry to @bitstarterAI , Bittensor’s subnet accelerator program
▫️ Opportunity for 1:1 pitch sessions with Opentensor Foundation leadership
▫️ Pathways to potential investment support of up to $270,000

Organized by @HackQuest_ in partnership with the @opentensor , this hackathon aims to strengthen the Bittensor ecosystem by supporting builders who are creating specialized and impactful subnets.

To all participating teams both the top 7 and honorable mentions: this is your final day to complete testing, finalize submissions, and prepare your demonstrations. We appreciate your hard work and dedication throughout the competition.

For the community following the hackathon or interested in Bittensor, we invite you to stay engaged as selected projects progress toward potential mainnet integration.

Submission deadline: March 31, 2026

[Tao Outsider @TaoOutsider]

OUTsider INsights #10 - Special Edition with @const_reborn, Founder of $TAO Bittensor.

Today is a special edition. Episode #10.

Our work focuses on the TAO Bittensor ecosystem, so we invited none other than Const, the founder himself.

He accepted the invitation, offered to schedule a meeting, but in the end we followed tradition and conducted the interview in text format.

Before going deeper into the interview, we discovered something interesting in common: we both love Brazil, the Amazon, and the local indigenous peoples, especially the Yawanawa. After reading this interview, I strongly suggest you take a moment to learn more about them.

So, Let's go.

OUTSIDER 1:

Const, what’s happening with TAO Bittensor right now? Suddenly everyone is watching us. Everyone is talking about it. Why now? What changed?

CONST 1:

I think that the @tplr_ai Templar run played a massive role in opening up the eyeballs and unleashing the self-reinforcing flywheel of attention. There was all this lingering potential right under the surface around the incredible subnets we have on Bittensor. Templar burst the surface. I'll give full credit to the covenant guys for this one. Bravo to that team and Sam, @DistStateAndMe, in particular.

OUTSIDER 2:

Around 18% of the available TAO supply is currently allocated across the 128 subnets in the ecosystem. The rest is still sitting in Root or on CEXs. How would you suggest people take their first step into exploring subnets?

CONST 2:

Try to mine one with an agent. See if it sucks or if the agent is smarter than the subnet.

OUTSIDER 3:

You were at Google when Attention Is All You Need dropped and watched the transformer architecture ignite the modern AI race from the inside.

CONST 3:

And I met a lot of the people writing that paper too! Geniuses.

OUTSIDER 4:

You left anyway to build something most people thought was unrealistic at the time.

CONST 4:

I never used to shut up about it and they thought I was crazy.

OUTSIDER 5:

Today, centralized labs still control most frontier models and large-scale compute. Has Bittensor already started changing that trajectory, or are we still early in shifting real control of AI toward a decentralized alternative?

CONST 5:

I believe it is all about aligned incentives. When we get the tech properly aligned things will move exponentially fast. So I am not concerned about the scale difference here. I am concerned about making Bittensor's subnets perfectly aligned and working.

OUTSIDER 6:

You left a stable Google career, moved to Peru, and spent years building Bittensor before the world was paying attention. At some point during those early years, there must have been a moment when the rational decision would have been to stop. What was that moment for you?

CONST 6:

Naive rationalism would have stopped me from quitting the job. I got out of college. Way before I left the top team at Google and way before years of disaster and upsets in the early Bittensor years.

The truth is that the question you are asking is badly formed. It is irrational to focus your life's effort on something that doesn’t compel you. Your state of mind is what makes your life successful. To give up on what compels you is to lose already.

OUTSIDER THOUGHTS:

Life is about having the courage to make difficult decisions. Make no mistake. Maybe the question was bad formulated. But your answer was simply the truth.
And that’s more than enough.

Thank you, Const.

END.

Hey! If you made it this far, you are probably already deeply involved, or at least genuinely interested in the Bittensor ecosystem. So drop your biggest insight from this interview in the comments. What made this worth reading for you?

See you soon in OUT-IN #11, the second-to-last episode of this first season.

Special thanks: @MarsSmuff - @taostacker

[HackQuest @HackQuest_]

Two years in Bittensor gives you a different lens.

In our interview, Ch shares what he’s learned: why @opentensor’s incentive model beats traditional corporate structures, his favorite subnets, and advice for new subnet owners.

With our Bittensor Subnet Hackathon now in Round 2 and teams heading into testnet, his perspective lands at the perfect time.

[Vidaio @vidaio_]

Does this say we are the top performing subnet on the weekly performance report? 🤔

I think it does!!!

Unbelievably well deserved shout out from @intel towards @manifoldlabs

The team, who have been furiously developing trusted computing layers on Bittensor against the tide of exploit and FUD, with clear eyes, and patience.

So proud of my brother @0xcarro who saw the vision from the beginning

Bravo
