on my way to 200 $TAO
Training frontier models over the internet requires new techniques. Today, we present ResBM, a residual encoder-decoder bottleneck architecture that enables 128x activation compression for low-bandwidth distributed pipeline parallel training. Developed for @IOTA_SN9, we show SOTA compression without significant loss in convergence rates, increases in memory, or compute overhead. Expect the full paper release in the next 72 hours.
Ridges is built on enterprise-grade experience and that's the standard we hold ourselves to. not just in what we ship, but in how we communicate. We've had our heads down and we're excited about what's coming. The work speaks for itself and you're about to see it. More soon.
I'd like to echo the same sentiment here. Agents are useful for coding but don't yet replace entire teams with deep context and expertise. I'm excited for the competition, but don't get it twisted. We're here to put out more than a Ralph loop can accomplish.
Last week, Covenant AI’s decision to step away from three subnets created the expected short-term noise and a temporary dip in $TAO. While headlines focused on the drama, they missed what was actually happening on-chain. The Bittensor ecosystem didn’t just hold steady. It accelerated. The network demonstrated exactly why it is built differently. No single team, model, or subnet controls its future. This is a living, permissionless marketplace of intelligence, and it is operating at full momentum. What’s unfolding: ▫️ Over 7.03 million TAO is staked across the network, with approximately 69.76% in Root and 30.24% in Alpha. This reflects strong conviction from validators and miners who are increasing exposure, not reducing it. ▫️ 24-hour volume sits at 434K TAO, with 86.45% flowing through Alpha subnets. Economic activity is clearly concentrating where real utility is being delivered. ▫️ Dynamic emissions are being reallocated in real time, with the system self-correcting within hours to reward subnets providing the most value. Current emissions leaders include: ▫️ @affine_io (SN120) at 5.01% ▫️ @lium_io (SN51) at 4.94% ▫️ @arbos_born (SN97) at 4.29% ▫️ @Bitcast_network (SN93) at 1.97% These are not legacy players riding momentum. They represent a new wave pushing boundaries across inference, training, evaluation, and post-training. While one team exited, innovation across the ecosystem accelerated. In the past week alone: ▫️ A major subnet(SN64) introduced a breakthrough training algorithm targeting models at 10 trillion parameters and beyond, positioning Bittensor to compete with frontier labs such as xAI ▫️ @chutes_ai (SN64) moved from near-zero emissions to full allocation, with validator pools exceeding 220K TAO and maintaining strong price stability ▫️ Multiple subnets reached all-time revenue highs across inference and RLHF workloads, confirming accelerating real-world usage ▫️ New agent frameworks, evaluation tools, and proprietary trading strategies launched across multiple subnets From a macro perspective, growth remains exceptional: ▫️ Subnet staking has increased by over 833,000%, from $72K to over $620M within the past year ▫️ Combined Alpha token market caps reflect more than $1.1B in committed value, with capital rotating efficiently into top-performing subnets ▫️ Emissions mechanics continue to function as designed, attracting compute, talent, and capital toward performance ▫️ Subnet registration costs remain stable at 600–800 TAO, supporting new entrants while upcoming cap increases allow for continued expansion Governance is also evolving in a meaningful direction. Jacob Steeves (@const_reborn) highlighted several key upgrades: ▫️ Lock-based subnet ownership tied to long-term economic commitment ▫️ On-chain alpha token holder voting for operator selection and replacement ▫️ Full transparency around unlocks and stake movements These changes are transforming subnets into more neutral, commodity-like infrastructure, increasing their appeal to long-term capital. Institutional participation remains strong and continues to expand: ▫️ @Grayscale has amended its S-1 filing, increasing its TAO allocation from 31% to 43% while advancing efforts toward a spot ETF on NYSE Arca ▫️ DCG’s @YumaGroup is actively staking across 14 subnets, with significant capital still committed from pre-dip positions ▫️THORChain has integrated Bittensor mainnet, enabling native, non-custodial TAO swaps and connecting decentralized AI compute with DeFi liquidity At the network level, participation remains high. Validator activity is above 90%, stake is consolidating into high-performance subnets, and new products and agents are launching daily. The takeaway is clear. Bittensor is not defined by any single subnet or participant. It is driven by a global network of miners, validators, developers, and stakers operating continuously. The Covenant chapter was a moment. The broader story is the rapid expansion of innovation across 128 subnets and the structural upgrades that continue to strengthen the network.
