Idle miner emissions aren't a problem to solve.
They're the opportunity of a lifetime.
We won't zero them out just to overpay for tasks we already run.
First, we point them at a VLM training run: Satori.
Then, with a clear base model in hand, we keep using emissions to extend capability around the one thing we're here to do:
Making Every Camera Intelligent.
two updates that i want to see moving on sn44, and they pull in opposite directions: one model that sees, one that imagines.
first, multimodality. the vlm (satori) is built, now i'm making sure the baseline is getting stronger but it goes onto the subnet shortly.
while satori's baseline settles, i went after the harder problem: @ylecun's jepa line of world models.
reproduced the le-wm design and started training 'tamashi' from scratch.
the distinction i keep coming back to is seeing vs imagining.
satori's validation asks a clean question: does it see correctly?
tamashi's asks a harder one: is its imagination accurate enough to act on?
early signs seem to say yes, with the caveat that is the actual point. in-distribution and short-horizon it holds at 89.5%, and degrades predictably as the imagined horizon lengthens 66%.
millions of miles away from calling that finished, but this shows that the model is doing something real, and the degradation curve points straight at what to improve next.
satori 1.0 2B will be trained on @webuildscore sn44 using teutonic-sn3's king of the hill mechanism
code is ready and getting reviewed
next stop, data
thanks ser @const_reborn
SATORI 1.0: last 24h update
one 2B model (s7b) now does detection + segmentation + description + behaviour + reasoning in a single forward pass.
5 primitives, one model, one sweep.
detection had its breakthrough: AP50 0.08 → 0.41, mAP 16.7 → 32.7. at 2B that's competitive with Florence-2 (37.5),
beats its own Cosmos-8B teacher, and holds the line against the foundation-model crowd (Qwen-VL, SAM 3) on the primitives we care about.
the unlock was a box-format fix (XYXY vs XYWH) that had been masking a detector that already worked.
segmentation broke a long plateau too: a cross-attention head on dense VLM features took it 48.8 → 57.7. architecture, not data.
description 0.63 (beats teacher), reasoning 0.82.
sharing the updated benchmark and a few evidences below
next stop for us
distilling and training our own vision language model
Satori 1.0 2B and Satori 0.5B
that will run locally, on the edge for our clients
a self-contained model across 5 vision primitives:
reasoning, behaviour, description, segmentation, detection
every skill we build on mechid 1 with miners becomes an expert teacher to the vlm, creating a strong "real world" training flywheel.
for those asking themselves, Satori means "awakening" in japanese, and we haven't picked this word lightly.
image below is the base model latest performance after the first few days of training based on the initial architecture i've built
DeAI till we DIE
a new private task is coming to sn44 later in the summer
15,000 pokemon cards
the goal: train the best card-grading vision model on the market
miners, get your decks ready, this one's going to be fun

Every camera is potentially a robot.
There are a billion cameras out there that COULD become an 'A eye' -- hook Subnet 44 up to each of them and they become exponentially more active, intelligent and valuable.
Centralised AI means a handful of labs decide what every camera in the world is allowed to see.
Bittensor breaks that.
We turn vision AI into an open, competitive network where the best specialist model wins, not the biggest lab.
That’s why we build on $TAO.
Grateful to @Genfinity and @IOV_OWL for the deep dive 👇
📸 Bittensor Exclusive | Subnet 44 Showcase
Max Sebti of @webuildscore on how they're turning the world's passive camera systems into intelligent vision networks:
• PwC France. Co-selling agreement.
• 1B+ CCTV cameras. Almost all passive.
• Model outperforms GPT, Gemini, and Grok.
• Camera chat via Manako. No new hardware.
• Backed by TaoWeave. Push into North America.
On the necessity for decentralized AI:
"The future is going to be scary if we let these guys just run everything."
On battling AI hype vs. the power of Bittensor ($TAO):
"There's a big difference between optimizing for a 15 second demo and running actual vision AI in the real world."
@manakoai | @opentensor | @PwC_France | @MaxScore
Full Interview:
back at the desk, been heads down on this.
we’ve got a subnet where miners distil small expert vision ai skills.
what i’m working on now is a distilled VLM that learns those skills straight from the sn44 models.
put them together and you get one small model carrying every skill the network produces. a frankenstein, and it should be the best vlm on the market.
early signs are good. a model that copies one teacher is capped at that teacher, so we get it to reconcile two instead and it beats both.
an autonomous loop on a single H100 running on @lium_io is finding the recipe.
want to write it up as a paper if it turns out interesting enough.
and if it works, i’m half tempted to spin it into a decentralised run on a sub-subnet of 44, so we’d do decentralised vision ai training.
qwen moment for vision ahead?
NEWS: @webuildscore's 19 MB model beats giants on real detection task, running on cheap CPU hardware.
