Bittensor Guru – Details, episodes & analysis

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! Video and links below.

Special announcement! The Bittensor Guru Validator is now the TAO.com Validator.

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. 

With Subnet 12 - Compute Horde recently eclipsing 1000 GPUs and breaking all known limits of subnet design, Rhef and his team are inviting miners into a whole new architecture with multiple GPUs, on-demand requisitioning, a la carte HuggingFace model hosting and custom front ends for user interaction. This episode is best consumed through video as there are a couple screen sharing demos. Link below. Don't miss Rhef's Bittensor network dashboards either. Enjoy!

Sam Forman from Sturdy joins the Bittensor Guru to discuss Subnet 10. Sturdy uses their subnet as a crowdsourced yield optimization engine to power their lending protocol, setting a new standard for decentralization of financial intelligence. Fresh of a major upgrade to their reward mechanism, Sam takes us through how he uses Bittensor's incentivization to deliver top returns to Sturdy's users.

YZ joins me to describe how he and the talented team from Kaito are working to create a decentralized version of their popular subscription service for indexing/searching content across many web3 platforms with Bittensor's Subnet 5. With a couple months on mainnet, a healthy portion of the emissions from validators and a worthy objective relevant to nearly anyone who seeks to get a view from outside their personal feed, this one subnet to keep an eye on.

Steffen Cruz, former CTO of the Opentensor Foundation, has teamed up with long time friend Will Squires to form Macrocosmos. With subnets 1, 9 and 13 under their guidance and a protein folding subnet on testnet nearly ready for launch, this group is shaping the future of Bittensor and one of the most influential forces in the ecosystem.

Angad and Akshat join the pod from the team at Impel which recently launched on Bittensor's Subnet 11 to incentivize decentralized creation of roleplay models for their app Dippy.ai. Get to know the team, the killer pedigree and their bold objective of becoming the open source leaders in roleplaying LLMs. Video link below.

The Conversation Genome Project by Afterparty represents an evolution of subnet planning, design and execution. With months on testnet under their belt, a capable and experienced team leading their development and a revolutionary approach to incentivizing intelligence, David Fields and team are poised to democratize access to personalized AI using Bittensor.

The Subvortex team joins the Bittensor Guru to share how they've increased network decentralization by using the incentivize mechanism on their subnet to encourage miners to run optimal subtensor nodes all over the world. With nodes in more than 70 countries and low latency/high redundancy along with a load balancer, they've effectively eliminated the need to run an individually operated subtensor node. Great team here and highly creative use of a subnet slot. Be sure to check out the wandb link below for all the statistics on their mining pool.

Eseck and Albert from the FirstTensor validator on Bittensor joined us to discuss Subnet 16 BitAds.ai and the unique approach they've taken to towards incentivizing decentralized ad campaigns. Truly novel design meets well-calculated implementation with this one. We've even launched a Bittensor Guru ad campaign ourselves! It was a pleasure to chat with a fellow validator bring value to Bittensor.
