UPDATE: OpenTensor says @const_reborn will break down "Root Reborn" Thursday.
A proposed root-economy change replacing auto-sold subnet dividends with validator-set reinvestment across subnets.
Centralized AI companies like @AnthropicAI are more vulnerable to government intervention.
Decentralized AI technology like $TAO @opentensor offers an alternative.
Bittensor provides open source, permissionless access to AI through a decentralized global network. Following the suspension of Anthropic's AI model, $TAO rallied sharply, climbing 30% in just 12 hours.

The US Government has given #Bittensor the best endorsement it could ever ask for
They proved the entire thesis for why we need permissionless and decentralised AI
Anthropic were forced by the Government to suspend access to Fable and Mythos models for any foreign nationals..
It doesn't matter what you think of Anthropic morals.. what the Governments reasons were.. whether the model was dangerous or not..
The point is.. Closed AI can be switched off
We’ve been banging this drum in #bittensor for four years now
If frontier intelligence can be restricted.. it will be restricted.. If access can be gatekept.. it will 100% be gatekept
If a small group of powerful men and women can decide who gets intelligence and who doesn’t.. they will absolutely use that power
This is exactly why bittensor:native matters
Intelligence is just too important to have it sit behind permissioned walls controlled by governments and corporations
#Bittensor is the fight against this.. Open.. permissionless.. incentivised
True open intelligence built by the people.. for the good of the people
This Anthropic news is proof that those fears are no longer theoretical..
This shit is real.. the door just got slammed
The pure reason #bittensor exists.. is so the world has another one to walk through

Blockchain Banter - Episode 107
@Chris_Hutch7 & I are hosting yet another BANGER of a show!
Join us as we will be diving deep into a few $KAS ecosystem updates!
Set That Reminder

Outside the $KAS family, I don't think #crypto knows just what is coming and what will become possible after June 30th. The whole industry is about to get a much needed level up! #Toccata
What a great #bittensor social last night!
Thanks all for coming along, was nice meeting new attendees and even some $TAO newcomers. Looking forward to the next one!
The miners did this.
We benchmarked Score 'Skills' against foundation models and frontier chat VLMs under the fairest protocol we could design.
Result → alone on the accuracy-latency Pareto frontier, near real time on a laptop-class CPU, while frontier models need a datacentre to do worse.
The incentive mechanism works.
The frontier moves on Bittensor $TAO.
That is what we are building, and the miners on our subnet are the engine.
The incentive mechanism turned an open, adversarial competition into a model that beats the giants at its job.
Point the same mechanism at the next task and it does it again.
My biggest takeaway from the Claude Fable 5 release was that open source AI won't just survive, it'll thrive
The release itself told me everything about where the closed labs are heading:
i) cyber, bio, chem & distillation queries reroute to Opus 4.8, a weaker model
ii) the safeguards are tuned conservatively and by Anthropic's own admission catch harmless requests
iii) the ungated Mythos 5 ships only to approved orgs through Project Glasswing
iv) even gated access comes off subscription plans on June 23, moving to usage credits
Frontier capability is now allocated by approval status
I read every refusal, downgrade and capacity gate as a demand signal
Capital is already pricing it:
a) Manifold Labs, the team behind Targon, raised a $10.5M Series A
b) DCG anchored Yuma's asset mgmt. arm with $10M
c) Grayscale went from trust launch to spot ETF filing in 18 months, a path that took Bitcoin a decade
d) six institutional TAO vehicles now exist, none of them pre-date 2024
Bittensor launched in 2021 with no pre-mine, no VC allocation and no permission required
It has grown into one of, if not, the most active capital markets for open source AI with an incredibly diverse set of subnets solving different complex problems
The report below tracks the full history, from genesis to dTAO, to the pending ETF
This is a useful trip down memory lane, and a vital reference point for an ecosystem projected to be worth hundreds of billions, if not trillions, in the years to come
