We just completed the largest decentralised LLM pre-training run in history: Covenant-72B. Permissionless, on Bittensor subnet 3.

72B parameters. ~1.1T tokens. Commodity internet. No centralized cluster. No whitelist. Anyone with GPUs could join or leave freely.

Crypto + AI is such a lame ass way to talk about something as profound as incentive computing

Bitcoin + AI isn’t crypto ponzinomics catching a buzzword, agent casinos, or smart contract adaptors.

Its understanding that computing with money is as significant as the transistor.

put your energy into forces driving evolution’s innate ascent

Life’s climb toward greater complexity, order, and cognition now unfolds in cyberspace

the next great frontier.

bet on the universe’s strongest trend

think about the properties of trad proof of work that are relevant for this leverage loop your describing?

are those properties present in Bittensor's hybrid PoW PoS model? yes.

actually, does BTs abstraction over PoW, allowing to parallelize many AI PoWs nested under one meta asset add an additional layer of leverage to the effect + horizontal value capture? yes.

though harder to see the value at front, solving an abstract problem means enabling the solving of any specific problem that can be expressed through the abstract problem

the value this enables over time generally vastly surpasses the solving of a single specific problem. especially if you set a direct incentive towards searching the space of the abstraction for value in parallel across an open set of searchers

crypto and AI people should understand this best

[const @const_reborn]

Bittensor is highly confusing because instead of building a single solution to a single problem, like “decentralized inference” we realized way back in 2020, that we needed to build the meta mechanism which could express all of them.

crypto next gen

[const @const_reborn]

The promise of crypto is that we can bring freedom, barrierlessness, and competition to every single cog in the machines we live inside.

Fluid ownership, fluid control, fluid production.

The answer to fears of AI is this, not top down censorship or unchecked acceleration, but human unity with the machines.
