This is amazing to see!

It proves a major shift has taken place: a non technical person can participate in an AI agent swarm to optimise an algorithm

Imagine that at global scale, pointed at thousands of problems at once!

It introduces one question though: who pays for the compute?

Donations/philanthropy can only go far.

For this to work at a global scale it has to become an industry, where people move from donating spare compute to doing it full time because they get paid for it.

And it all HAS to stay open, if each agent in a swarm can see and build off each other's work, no private lab can keep up with it!

This is how you can scale from people donating their laptop overnight to teams building entire data centers to join swarms.

And that is exactly what TIG has spent three years building.

What are the ingredients you need?

You need:

Price discovery (which TIG solves via proof of work)

AND

A mechanism to capture value (which TIG solves via its dual licence)

A deeper dive as these are often parts of TIG which are hard to grasp

How the price discovery work:

- Algorithms currently have no way of being priced, so what TIG does is let anyone "run" (benchmark) them.

- Benchmarkers choose the best ones because they get paid for valid work, and a better algorithm lets them produce more of it per unit of compute, so picking the best one directly earns them more.

- The algorithms benchmarkers actually choose to run is the price signal.

- Adoption is the market revealing which algorithm is best.

- This is the same class of fix Paul Milgrom won a Nobel prize for: using computation to make a market function where it otherwise cannot.

How the dual licence works

- TIG licences the winning algorithms.

- The algorithm is free to use if you share your data, but companies that want to keep their data closed pay to license it.

- 100% of that revenue flows back into the token and that flows back to the benchmarkers and innovators to fund more open innovation

We've posted this before - but if there is one video your're gonna watch to understand how this space plays out, make it this!

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.

There's a project not on VC radars yet because it's so unique and early. @tigfoundation is a factory for algorithmic IP.

Within weeks people can join into LLM swarms that will push algorithms forward which then will get licensed for commerical use.

Worth spending some time on.

$TIG will directly benefit from AI solving problems in math and science.

If you've been in this market for a decade, made and lost more money than most families will see in a lifetime; let winners slip through your fingers, been rugpulled, sold too early, faded a play that turned out to be huge later, missed a critical airdrop, got scammed, duped, and have thought to yourself: "Surely I've missed all the opportunities that have come and gone, it's a different market, it's a different world.."

And you've recently stumbled upon $TIG, understood the thesis and bought a bag to hold for the next decade with all your lessons learned... Remember, everything happens for a reason, and I only have one thing to say to you:

At TIG, we always knew we’d make some surprising allies as we pursue our mission.

The Pope, however, was not on our 2026 bingo card.

During the first encyclical of his tenure, @pontifex was clear: algorithms must henceforth be included in the basket of ‘goods that are universally intended for everyone’.

Today at 5PM BST, tune in to hear @Dr_JohnFletcher and @0x_Asuka discuss how TIG ensures that frontier technologies will remain accessible to all.

See you there!

[My @_Myxon]

Without better algorithms, you’re still digging the same holes with faster shovels.
The lowest decentralized foundation layer?
Algorithmic innovation itself.

Open, permissionless, PoW-driven market for the hardest real-world problems.
Best algos win. Everyone levels up.

$NOCK powers the markets.

$TIG powers the intelligence that makes those markets actually matter.

🚨 WALLET DRAINER targeting $TIG holders right now

Bots are spamming our cashtag with the real $TIG contract address to look legit — then linking to fake sites (https://t.co/rH0wJrPXVY / https://t.co/zMAlbOWPYX) or other websites.

If you connect your wallet there, it will be drained.

The $TIG contract address being real does NOT mean the site is safe. That's exactly how the scam works.

NEVER connect your wallet to a site you found via a random tweet.

Report these accounts. RT to warn others 🔁

Its not every day you wake up to find that the Pope has made your lifes work the central focus of his papacy:

“Disarming AI means freeing it from the mentality of “armed” competition [..] This entails a race for ever more powerful algorithms and larger datasets, driven by the desire to secure geopolitical or commercial dominance."

- POPE LEO XIV, May 2026 https://t.co/m4ycgYVoEE

Here, “disarmed” means “neutralised” in the sense that this should not be a differentiator

The Innovation Game (TIG) was created to keep data and algorithms open, in order to prevent monopolistic control

It's not just an aspiration, it's an economic mechanism that makes open data and open algorithms the rational economic choice

• All algorithms are published openly by TIG

• If you are willing to make the data you process with an algorithm open, you can use it free-of-charge

• Alternatively, if you would like to keep this data private, there is a fee to pay for using the algorithm

• All fees are used to fund more open innovation

Its an elegant, global, self-reinforcing engine

The logical end point of monopoly is that innovation stops

We cannot allow that to happen

@Pontifex I would be grateful for your thoughts on The Innovation Game

The Pope called the major AI companies "the new monopolies" - and not in an interview - but in a formal binding doctrine he published.

Setting religion aside, this is one of the most powerful institutional voices in the world taking a position on AI ownership

His argument: algorithms, data and digital infrastructure are now the most contested form of property in our era, and their concentration in a handful of companies is harmful.

Soon after a Pope is elected, they publish something called an ‘encyclical’ which the entire Catholic Church is then bound to teach from.

The Pope before wrote about love.

The one before that, faith.

This one wrote about AI.

Encyclicals are one of the most authoritative documents a Pope can publish.

They can shape Catholic policy, law and investment for decades.

As is customary, when a Pope is elected, they choose their name. This Pope chose Leo as a homage to the previous Pope Leo XIII, who in 1891 warned against the way industrial capitalism was leading to "the concentration of economic power in the hands of a few."

It wasn't an attack on capitalism (quite the opposite), but on what capitalism produces when left unchecked.

135 years later, to the exact day, the new Pope publishes his encyclical attacking the same principle but aimed at AI.

Again, it’s not an attack on AI itself - but that it leads to the same problem of concentration of power

It invokes a doctrine called the “universal destination of goods”, the belief that the resources of the earth belong to humanity, and that while private property is a legitimate means of putting those resources to use, concentrating it in too few hands breaks that purpose.

The Church has used it against landlords hoarding land and pharma companies pricing essential medicines out of reach of the poor.

He specifically names algorithms (alongside patents, infrastructure and data), and writes that their concentration in private hands "widens the gap between the included and the excluded"

He demands transparency over algorithms and equal access to them.

Even going further into saying that the "a race for ever more powerful algorithms" must be "disarmed." - a word typically for nuclear weapons.

Disarming AI, he says, means "freeing technology from monopolistic control"

And the firms running that race he names for what they are: "the new monopolies of AI"

Whatever your view of the Catholic Church or the Vatican, this is an institution of 1.4 billion people, and it has officially come out against the monopolisation of AI.

The Pope talking about algorithms wasn't on our 2026 bingo card!

Algorithm mining as an industry didn't exist before $TIG @tigfoundation we are so early

[The Innovation Game (𝔦, 𝔦) @tigfoundation]

The swarm ran for seven hours!

By the end, participants had rediscovered fifty years of optimisation and metaheuristic literature on TIG's knapsack challenge from scratch.
