If they really start to gatekeep who gets to use the best models, that is a declaration of war.
This prospect fills me with the most sincere, bodily cypherpunk will-to-power that I've ever felt (at least since I was a teenager). If they really go down this route, I would go all-in on building the most psychotic swarms of open-source models and fine-tunes possible, all geared toward a Chaotic Good jamming of the entire institutional public sphere. If we didn't do that, all of political life and the marketplace of ideas would be over before we know it.
It's one thing if the top models become too expensive for me or others to use (I'm already pricing that in, and if you can't build something profitable enough to climb that ladder as it gets pulled up, then that's fair enough).
But if the ladder gets pulled up politically, now, so only select institutional players get access to the most intelligent models, then any mature American man should be as energized as gun collectors are around the 2nd Amendment, or liberal women are around Planned Parenthood.
Big week at Ditto.
Ditto is now live on iOS and Android. iOS in-app purchase is live, theme sync syncs across all your devices, and we shipped fixes for PDFs, images, model stability, and Gemini GitHub tool calls.
Internally, Ditto graphs are already running our ops and feedback triage. On Bittensor, the Ditto Bench Starter Kit is live for SN118.
Next up: Companies + Graphs, more providers, code execution, lower token costs, and V2.
This is the beginning.
BREAKING: The Trump Administration has struck a deal with Anthropic which grants the company permission to release its Mythos 5 model to a group of ~100 companies and federal agencies, per CNBC.
Details include:
1. Senior Anthropic staffers flew to Washington DC to meet with members of the Trump Administration
2. Anthropic said earlier this month that it disabled access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models to comply with an export control directive from the government
3. The Trump Administration and Anthropic have been in a two-week-long standoff over its latest models
This deal will have industry-wide implications.
Feds believe Pooh Shiesty has over 100 disposables members he can call at any time & posted a text saying he needed “6 Certi’s” which the Feds believes mean 6 Certified members
When governments can decide who gets access to intelligence and algorithms..
True open alternatives become imperative
Another huge advertisement for incentive led, permissionless systems like $TAO and $TIG
MinosVM 2.0 is LIVE!
We launched MinosVM to reduce setup friction and make mining genomics on Bittensor easier from day one.
Today, we’re taking the next step toward agent-native mining by announcing MinosVM 2.0, now live on @TargonCompute with native support for AI assistants through @openclaw, @NousResearch and @heydittoai.
Spin up MinosVM, connect your agent, and let it help you mine, optimize, and iterate every round.
Genomic inference is moving from manual optimization toward autonomous improvement on Minos.
ngl it’s kinda wild that China is the land of hypercapitalist competition fueled by open-weight models anyone can use, and America is the land where the executive branch of government must personally approve you to have the privilege of giving a private company your money
>Avg Crypto Investor: "Beyond digital gold, stablecoins, and Hyperliquid, our industry is predominantly vaporous scamware, generating little to no value. There is no real innovation happening here. This asset class is dead. I am leaving forever."
>Avg AI Investor: "The Frontier Labs are stealing our data, censoring users, and running completely unsustainable business models. Now the US Govt is forcing them to KYC users for the most performant models and outright banning foreign nationals from accessing the product. We NEED an open, decentralized alternative stat or the entire world is cooked."
>Avg Bittensor Investor:
While everyone on my TL is mostly focused on Saylor, perps, the last few memecoins and NFTs, I urge you to consider this: it might be your last chance to make a move into decentralised AI.
The world is about to get really weird, and millions of people are gonna want to invest in the thing that’s not working against them.
You know where this leads.
$TAO
AI is becoming a core portfolio allocation. But for most investors it’s limited to a few, big players

Here’s why most of retail investors lose money in crypto
As a large holder of TAO, if the price drops to $120, I will simply double my position, zero emotions involved, just execution.
Now let’s say I don’t hold any TAO and I’m waiting for $120 to enter. A month later, instead of going lower, the price doubles. FOMO starts kicking in because you feel like you’re missing out, so you buy at whatever price the market is offering. Then, right after you buy, the market corrects by 50%. Your immediate reaction is fear. Instead of doubling down, you sell at a 50% loss because your entry never felt comfortable in the first place. After you sell, the price starts going up again. The FOMO returns, and you’re stuck in an endless cycle that eventually drains your capital and leaves you broke.
The Florida State attorney's office plans to file charges in connection with a February robbery and kidnapping in Tampa involving some of Arnold's associates. 2 defendants in the case pleaded guilty today and agreed to testify truthfully for the state in future proceedings.
