I believed when it was math, not marketing. When $TIG was misunderstood, not valued. It’s not just the backbone of AI, it’s the infrastructure of intelligence itself. I will pin this and look back at it, not if, but when it reaches billions.

@AltcoinSensei You need Van de ven/ Khusanov type of defenders who can catch up whenever the offside trap is beaten

I am so mad on this FC Barcelona side, no lie. U need to be top top in the #UCL - Kounde is literally not a footballer anymore. Can’t cross, can’t track, can’t defend, can’t tackle. It’s over. - Pedri played one of his worst matches ever. - The whole team barely created chances after the 0-2. We need much more to complete in Champions League next season. #FCBlive #Barca #FCBarcelona

Announcement time! Dr. Karim Tamssaouet joins @tigfoundation as Challenge Owner for Job-Shop Scheduling One of the world's foremost experts on this problem, with deep experience across both academia and industry. He co-authored the definitive 30-year review of the Job Shop Scheduling Problem, co-founded Planimize which deploys scheduling optimization into semiconductor fabs, and is an Associate Professor at BI Norwegian Business School. We could not have found a more qualified person to own this challenge. Incredibly excited to have him on board!

Dr. Karim Tamssaouet one of the world’s leading authorities on Job-Shop Scheduling, co-author of the definitive 30-year review, co-founder of Planimize, and Associate Professor at BI Norwegian Business School has just joined @tigfoundation as Challenge Owner. In an era where everyone talks AI models and compute nonstop, this is the reminder that algorithms are what actually move the needle. TIG has been coordinating untrusted global compute since 2024 exactly the decentralized architecture @Dr_JohnFletcher described to @karpathy and is already producing state-of-the-art results on real problems. When researchers of Tamssaouet’s calibre become Challenge Owners, the snowball effect begins: dual-licensing IP captures commercial value, big names interact on-chain, and more innovators flood in to push the frontier even harder. Blink, and you’ll watch the protocol that turns algorithmic breakthroughs into on-chain ownership scale to trillions in captured value. Those who understand the magnitude are already participating. @tigfoundation $TIG 💎

An AI system just solved a problem in algebra that had been open since 2014. The impressive thing was how it did it. It's flow mirrored actual research. The system searched existing mathematical literature, found a key result from a completely different area of math, recognised it was relevant, used it to construct a proof, then verified the whole thing in ~19k lines of machine-checked Lean. Read papers. Spot connections humans missed. Test whether they hold up. Verify formally. Repeat. Now apply that logic to algorithms. There are decades of academic papers on frontier algorithms that almost worked. Off by one bad assumption. One small structural tweak away from a breakthrough. Until now, nobody had the tools to go back through that backlog systematically and try variations at scale. That's exactly what @tigfoundation is built for. TIG gives an economic incentive for someone to use their resources (time/compute) to use AI to look through thousands of old papers. The biggest breakthroughs in algorithm discovery might already be written down somewhere. They just need someone, or something, to go back and finish the job.

Looks like $TIG might be breaking out.. Above 50 cents "Hate it or love it, the underdogs on top" $TIG

I bought more $TIG. It's one of the few names where the float dynamics actually matter more than the narrative right now. And the narrative is coming. Foundation TWAP hasn't even started and when it does you'll be too late. Tbh, I'd explain more but I won't bother. This place is a ghost town and I want more.

@_0xghost_ Except for @tigfoundation which is the only one solving real world problems

If you have the discipline not to FOMO into shit everyone on CT is already talking about, you will outperform 99% of ppl here. That’s bc there’s literally only maybe 1000 ppl here, once they’re all already in, there are no more buyers left. Only hope is a token gets wider adoption outside of the CT bubble, but almost none of these tokens ever will.

Imagine mining securing a chain but with the work being algorithmically meaningful instead of hash collisions. Really makes you think. $TIG

I really think people should take the time to research $TIG.. especially at these extremely low valuations These two videos are a great place to start.. ⚫️ This presentation from @Dr_JohnFletcher at the University of Cambridge is a great 20 minute overview.. Here 👉

RT @Dr_JohnFletcher: Absolutely, I would go further and say there is a significant gap in understanding of AI capabilities even among AI e…

All the right people are noticing $TIG. Say what you want about Twitter but there’s no denying that it’s still the closest thing we have to an online public square. Build cool, relevant technology out in the open and it’s merely a matter of time before the big guys catch on.

The lightbulb companies literally agreed to limit bulb lifespan to 2 years. Planned obsolescence. When monopolies control a market, progress stops. In 1924, executives from major manufacturers met in Geneva and formed the Phoebus cartel. Their mission? Engineer a

Anyone in the lead suddenly will pivot to being Decel for regulatory capture and pull the ladder up behind them. We can't let the leaders in the AI race convince the world that calcifying the current leaderboard is in the benefit of all.

They're keeping groundbreaking frontier models for the most powerful companies in the world The public will be slowly locked out to innovation and refused access to one of the most important layers of this technology Its too powerful.. This can't be allowed to happen This is why we $TAO This is why we $TIG Open, incentivised intelligence must win.. its a necessity

@shawmakesmagic Hi Shaw, The Linux of AI is called TIG x.com/Dr_JohnFletche… Please get involved

Google discovered a better algorithm for one of the most valuable problems in computer science. And guess what….it’s not open! Every delivery you've ever received was routed by an algorithm. Every Amazon package, every Uber Eats order, every pallet in every warehouse. Better routing algorithms = more stuff moved, fewer vehicles, less money. You might have heard of the Traveling Salesman Problem: What's the shortest route that visits every location? It's been worked on for decades for nearly a century. Google just made a meaningful dent in it, but they’ve kept the results closed. Google's blog uses the name Traveling Salesman Problem because everyone recognises it, but what they actually tackled is the Vehicle Routing Problem, a harder generalisation of TSP. Multiple vehicles, limited capacity, time constraints, thousands of locations. VRP is what actually runs modern logistics. Google pointed AlphaEvolve, their AI coding agent, at a real warehouse running this problem daily. It generated thousands of mutations of an existing algorithm and evolved something 10.4% better. On an already heavily optimised system, that's a huge gain. The resulting algorithm? Vaguely described in a blog post. No code. AlphaEvolve itself? Closed. Google Cloud only. This isn't new. Google has been building towards this for years. In 2022 they launched Cloud Fleet Routing, a closed API where logistics companies send their shipment data and get back optimised routes. Closed, proprietary, pay-per-use. This is just the latest piece. Google now has the research pipeline (Alphaevolve), the product (Algorithm via API), and the customer base (locked-in logistics companies feeding them data). Every improvement stays closed. So if you're a logistics company today, you have two choices: use Google's routing, or use something significantly worse. That's not really a choice. Most companies will go with Google. When they do, they hand over their operational data. Google uses that data to build even better algorithms. Which makes the gap wider. Which makes the next company even more likely to choose Google. And so on. This is the real problem: If they get far enough ahead, their advantage begins to compound and the moat gets ever wider. This is where TIG comes in! TIG has had a live Vehicle Routing Challenge since 2024. It's been running nonstop, in public, receiving weekly incremental improvements. This led to us achieving SOTA in Dec 2025 (x.com/vidalthi/statu…). Even more importantly, it’s improved week-on-week since then. This is why @tigfoundation matters. And the week-on-week improvement is an important detail. With TIG: Every algorithm is open source. This means anyone can inspect it, make a minor tweak and submit an improved version. And then someone else can come and make an improvement to that! So Google has a flywheel, but so does TIG. Closed systems have a ceiling. One team, one set of ideas, one feedback loop. Open systems don't work like that. Open can have thousands of independent contributors, each bringing different approaches, each building on what the last person submitted. Improvements compound publicly. And the gap between open and closed widens... Open races away! That's how the most important software in history got built. It's how the best algorithms will too. TIG is the exact framework required to make it happen with algorithms.

@socialwithaayan Hi Muhammad, Its not the first time this has happened! x.com/Dr_JohnFletche…

$TIG TOK

Already building. Algorithm submissions hitting double digits per round for the first time. Tibo Vidal, world's #1 vehicle routing researcher, built what he calls "by far the best implementation in the world" specifically for TIG. His own global competition was just won by an AI-assisted entry.
