Bitcoin to Bittensor :: Distributed AI infrastructure Explained at NUS Computer Science Club by @const_reborn youtu.be/XRhTE9MtJpA?si…

Jack Clark (@jackclarkSF ), cofounder of Anthropic, has now written about @tplr_ai twice. Two weeks ago we went viral. @chamath and Jensen were talking about us. And now this. I won't lie, the first feeling is fear. How do you top this? Then you remember that you do not chase the moment; you stay locked in on the mission to democratise the production of frontier models and make intelligence have no landlord. That's it. How do we top this? Go Dagestan. 2-3 years. Forget.

Unbelievably well deserved shout out from @intel towards @manifoldlabs The team, who have been furiously developing trusted computing layers on Bittensor against the tide of exploit and FUD, with clear eyes, and patience. So proud of my brother @0xcarro who saw the vision from the beginning Bravo

What is Bittensor $TAO? In conversation with @APompliano at #BitcoinInvestorWeek, @BarrySilbert shares why the network is the most compelling convergence of crypto and AI

Stillcore Capital @stillcorecap is proud to release our STATE OF TAO: January 2026 Report. It is aimed primarily at people who know nothing about Bittensor. It explains, in simple-speak, what Bittensor $TAO is and how it works, and then characterizes where the ecosystem is at today. Hope you enjoy it! Download PDF: stillcorecapital.com/wp-content/upl…

My pic has been doing the rounds, so I thought I'd share it properly. Half of my time, I'm doing all sorts of interviews and capital raise pitches to try and attract more capital into Bittensor. These days I barely ever talk about Bittensor in these pitches as it's confusing. I talk about how the "Internet Protocol" was a decentralised launch pad for websites and online businesses. I then talk about how companies like Alphabet (Google) are big umbrella companies that have hundreds of sub-companies and the gross value capture vessel is their token called $GOOG. With that framework in mind, it's much easier for the new people to understand that the "Bittensor Protocol" is very much like the "Internet Protocol" and that it has over a hundred sub-companies like Google does. But these are called Subnets. And the gross value capture vessel is $TAO. And in the space of just 9 months, over a dozen of them are the world's best, fastest or cheapest at their specific niche. And that other subnets can use this buffet of amazing capabilities to make their products/services way better/faster/cheaper than their incumbent competitors. Every single Crypto project out there has 1 or 2 use cases AT BEST! Bittensor, in 9 months, is the world's best at 17 things and rising! (If there's is a subnet I've missed out or unaware of and there is a verifiable benchmark where you can prove you're the best, please let me know and I'll add you to the list!)

The Human Layer - A Bittensor Short $tao

Just made this new video on Bittensor I'm going to start creating a lot of different videos on Bittensor and the subnets. It'll be entertaining as well as informative, and sometimes a little thought-provoking. I'm trying to build my YouTube channel up to become a @Bitcast_network miner, getting the courage to put myself out there and document my journey as a permissionless worker living in the forest with a Starlink, mining $TAO I'm open to any ideas, suggestions, collaborations... feel free to contact me. Hope you'll enjoy! #bittensor @opentensor

We just filed a Form 10 for Grayscale Bittensor Trust $TAO, the first step toward becoming an SEC Reporting Company, increasing its accessibility, transparency, and regulatory status. Here are 5 key things to know if the Registration Statement becomes effective 🧵

It is officially game OVER! Wan Animate (fully open source) is definitely a SOTA model. The fidelity of the image is like nothing I have seen so far. The relight LoRA does a phenomenal job as well with enhancing environmental lighting & integration. What’s missing?

I am very excited to announce the launch of Stillcore Capital, a new Bittensor fund. My partners are @jason and @rob_svrn. Our focus will be $TAO and Bittensor subnet alpha tokens. More at @stillcorecap and stillcorecapital.com.

Same thing happens all the time... the crypto market is focused on a big breakout, gets levered long ahead of it, it fails at first attempt so everyone gets liquidated... only then does the actual breakout occur, leaving everyone sidelined.

Countdown to first Bittensor $TAO halving has begun: 80 days to go Estimate: December 11th learnbittensor.org/explore/concep…

The latest episode of our DYOR series is here. 👁️ We’re turning our attention to Bittensor, with @Raleigh_CA telling us the ecosystem story. We look at how the flywheel works, some key subnets and some outrageous statistics. Enjoy.

Looks like $TAO subnet deregistration is happening. If you don't launch it and thrive, the chain will claw it back and recycle it. No more dead weight.

Matter of time.... 🌝 🚀 . . . . . . . . . dTAO

Every time I check the @ridges_ai agent leaderboard the score has increased! It's now 80.67%!!!! So, just for shits n giggles, here's my best guess at what happens moving forwards. NOTE: I haven't sold any alpha. I'm fully loaded up and riding this rocket, so the following is just fun spit-balling. - The score just keeps rising. It doesn't plateau, it in fact gets to 100%! The key here is Ridges latest announcement, there's already an agent that can do each task. The issue is one that does all of them. So I reckon they'll have a coordination "Quarterback" agent that can deploy any/all agents to nail 100% on any of the SWE Benches. No more of these apples vs oranges comparison arguments. - @hobbleabbas comes up with a very clever way to productize this. No idea in what format. Whether it's a secret black box agent like the competitors do or something else, I'm confident he's going to find a great Product Market Fit. - The Ridges Product launches some time in September and quickly gets a horde of 'curiosity' customers. Basically anyone that is coding agent curious...including competitors. These curiosity customers will amass at least give Ridges $250k per month in rev. - They will allocate some of that revenue on growing the biz and some on buy backs. - Ridges then becomes the new number 1 subnet on the leaderboard. People will say it's topped out...but little do they know, Ridges has put Bittensor in the global spotlight again. Just like Chutes did. But this time, the average Joe can understand it a bit better. - Revenue continues to grow as certain videos go viral. Mainly ones around how an average Joe like me with no coding knowledge can now whip up something cool. TAO price starts to spool up as people realise they need to buy TAO to buy Ridges! - Suddenly, these untrodden cross ecosystem bridges into SOL and BASE start to get used. Why? SOL and BASE boys want Ridges! - Ridges is now firmly in the limelight and some big boy VCs want a piece of the pie! But they don't care about Bittensor or subnets or alpha nor do they have any inclination in trying to understand it. They know one thing and one thing only. How to buy up bizzes and spool them up. They want Ridges EQUITY! - Shak is now torn. He's getting ridiculous hundred million/billion dollar post-money val offers. He loves Bittensor and Ridges and the early supporters. He doesn't want to sell out. So he comes up with an ingenious way to somehow link alpha with equity. You want equity? The only way to do so is redeem it with alpha or something. - TAO explodes north. Ridges zooms up to 20% of emissions. - People take profits on Ridges and combined with the new TAO inflows, subnet summer is upon us. Who cares if it's in Winter lol. Subnets galore now rocket up! Big dog Chutes is also doing well seeing as it powers most subnets! Sum of Subnets soars to 2...everyone is happy... - All Ridges alpha holders now live on yachts. Fin. 😆😅😂🤣 God that would be some story if it all played out!

Woah… 😳 Bittensor Subnet 62 (@ridges_ai) just achieved 80% on SWE-Bench… this blows Anthropic and OpenAI out of the water. All from zero in 45~ days and < $1M rewarded to miners. Orders of magnitude more compute, capital AND time efficient ‼️

Bittensor TAO might be the single greatest asymmetric bet of our generation. You'll share this conviction once you've done 500 hours of focused research on the ecosystem. Nothing else matters once you've done the deep work. Take advantage of doing the work because most won't.
