🚀 Big news from Quasar!
The Quasar team (SN24 on Bittensor) has officially announced the acquisition of SN27 @OrionSILX .
This strategic move pairs Quasar’s advanced long-context AI models and decentralized training infrastructure with SN27 Orion’s specialized capabilities, creating a powerful vertical integration in the Bittensor ecosystem. Expect enhanced compute resources, stronger model performance, and accelerated development toward frontier-level decentralized AI.
@QuasarModels continues to lead the charge in making high-performance, long-context intelligence accessible and incentivized on-chain. This acquisition positions them even stronger for the next phase of growth.
Huge congrats to the teams involved! The future of decentralized AI just got brighter.

𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐮𝐩𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞: Numinous is making forecasting agents truly backtestable.
As announced last week, LunarCrush, Unusual Whales, and Public Data Proxies are being removed from the gateway.
Going forward, miners will use Numinous Signals and Numinous Indicia, both of which are backtestable.
This means agents can be tested against historical information without leaking future data, making it easier to know how a forecasting strategy would have performed at a specific point in time.
We are also introducing difficulty-adjusted scoring. Numinous has built a baseline forecasting agent that consistently scored top 2 in backtests, and miners will now need to beat this baseline to earn incentives.
Miner code will also remain private for 2 weeks as we move toward longer privacy windows and eventually privacy-preserving execution.
With this update, Numinous is focused on three things: backtestable data, stronger scoring, and private miner code.
All of this strengthens the infrastructure for better forecasting agents.
Happy 4th from Leadpoet 🇺🇸
Really happy with the progress of the new system.
Even while still in early beta rollout, two more miner-directed improvements have already been made to the model.
More incentives unlock soon.
The Lab is accelerating.
