S2E9 - Subnet 44 Score w/ Max

Will and Steffen join to announce IOTA by Macrocosmos, Incentivized Orchestrated Training Architecture on Subnet 9. Anyone can now mine on Bittensor using hardware you already own by contributing compute to IOTA's global training cluster, the world's first permissionless pipeline parallel training architecture.  Join IOTA: https://iota.macrocosmos.ai/train-at-home Video: https://x.com/KeithSingery/status/1995759981044683170?s=20 https://www.macrocosmos.ai/ https://macrocosmosai.substack.com/ https://x.com/macrocosmosai https://x.com/macrocrux https://x.com/WSquiresI https://github.com/macrocosm-os

Inference Labs is pioneering zkML applications in AI with Subnet 2 Omron and DSperse. Dan and Hudson join to take me through what they've built and how it applies to much more than proof of inference.  https://x.com/KeithSingery/status/1978572966477611168?s=20 https://x.com/inference_labs https://arxiv.org/abs/2508.06972  

Subnet 62 Ridges is on a tear the last month and has now cracked the top 15 subnets. Join me and owner Shakeel on this pod as we jam on all things 62. This is one of my favorite new projects on Bittensor and has a great chance to disrupt AI coding. video: https://x.com/KeithSingery/status/1949125382579655120 https://x.com/ridges_ai https://x.com/hobbleabbas https://ridges-ai.vercel.app/  

Sam leads Bittensor's Templar  and Basilica subnets. Templar is one of the world's top distributed training platforms and it's easy to understand why after this conversation. Fresh off a successful implemention on of CCLoco on subnet 3, he now has his target on building a permissionless, community-owned compute cloud on subnet 39 Basilica. Sam is a cult hero within Bittensor and it was an honor to have him on the pod.  Video: https://x.com/KeithSingery/status/1947404033205145938 https://x.com/DistStateAndMe https://x.com/tplr_ai    

Max joins from Subnet 44 Score to discuss the innovative approaches being taken by his team in the realm of computer vision and artificial intelligence, particularly in the context of sports analytics. We touch on self-supervised learning, the challenges of data annotation, and the mechanisms in place to incentivize miners in Bittensor. We also cover community engagement, quality control, and the collaborative nature of building decentralized systems. Enjoy all!    https://x.com/webuildscore https://x.com/mxmsbt https://github.com/score-technologies/score-vision Score's Novelty Search - https://youtu.be/LFtWDOwmmeU?si=LqE1V5KGq7ld5x2v https://bittensor.guru  

The team at Rayon Labs have done it again with Gradients led by wanderingweights who joins the pod to discuss how he and his team have democratized AI model building with their "couple of clicks" no-code training subnet. This is one of the most groundbreaking projects on Bittensor that, in only a few months on the network, can already out-train the establishment. Think AutoML on Bittensor and you're on the right track but still selling this group way short. Enjoy!

Special announcement! The Bittensor Guru Validator is now the TAO.com Validator.  Watch the video on X: https://x.com/KeithSingery/status/1902729530521116695 As Bittensor moves into an era of rapid expansion catalyzed by the open market dynamics of dTAO, validators, more than ever, are critical for enabling access to intelligence commodities, increasing institutional adoption and building out tools and services available on top tier chains to attract millions of new users and investors. To fuel Bittensor's evolution, the Bittensor Guru Validator is joining Tensora and officially  rebranding as TAO.com. We will return to running validation hardware and adjust our take to 9% to fund our operations. The TAO.com group, formed by this partnership along with several other key acquisitions and hires, will be the backbone of the most complete team in the ecosystem. It will include some of Bittensor's top miners, developers and business leaders, rounding out a group that will have deep experience in every facet of our network critical for charting a successful course in this next phase of growth. In addition, I have joined TAO.com as Chief Evangelist. The Bittensor Guru Podcast will continue with a new focus on sharing results from TAO.com's subnet evaluations team with the community. We are leveraging our combined expertise to analyze every aspect Bittensor's subnets, from the health and diversity of the miner/validator pools to intelligence commodities to incentivize mechanisms and even the subnet code itself. These announcements are the just the beginning  and I look forward to sharing more developments as we solidify ourselves as a cornerstone of Bittensor. 

Alright Bittensor...We've had a bunch of attempts at prediction/trading and most of those subnets are on the cutting room floor. SignalPlus and team went into this crowded category anyway and have set a new bar for competitive investment strategies, slick front end deployment and big buy-in from the community and validators. Enjoy this hour with Augustine, one of the lead developers for Efficient Frontier.

Angad and Akshat join the pod for the second time to talk evolution of Dippy.ai and how they are using multiple subnets and integration within Bittensor's network to further the reach and capabilities of their viral roleplaying app. With a successful subnet (S11) and second subnet (S58) launched to add voice to their offering, this team is becoming a major force both in and outside of Bittensor. https://x.com/dippy_ai https://www.dippy.ai/ https://taostats.io/validators/bittensor-guru-podcast/ https://bittensor.guru    

Ben-Zion and the team at wombo.ai are making waves in Bittensor again with their new Subnet 36 Pyramid Scheme (bringing Cellular Automata to Bittensor) along with taopill.ai and a new subnet analyzer tool called tao360. These contributions along with their continued success in optimizing Stable Diffusion XL on 4090s on S39 EdgeMaxxing puts them in a league of their own. Ben-Zion is one of the spiciest personalities we have involved in Bittensor and I always appreciate the flavor he brings to any conversation.
