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!

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. 

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. 

What do you get when Bittensor's most talented subnet builder and a prolific miner combine forces? Subnet 64 Chutes. Built for dtao with optimized efficiency on every level, monetization included through micropayments in TAO, a host of groundbreaking security features for miners, a rewrite of validation methodology to lower expenses and a front end so smooth you don't need to know squat to kick the tires on all of Huggingface...this was such a treat. I love these dudes, what assets to have involved in Bittensor. Head to chutes.ai to use the future now. 

PS. More Chutes apps coming soon. Try out text-to-voice now and EASY Agents deployed with no coding shortly. While you wait you can deploy ANY custom code now, for free.

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. Video pod: https://x.com/keithsingery/status/1872800191407145090?s=46

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.

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. Enjoy!

Parshant from Omega Labs joins the podcast for the second time to discuss their new app, Omega Focus. With the most downloaded dataset on huggingface between 10-100 million rows,  this team is no stranger to delivering value to the open source community and they've hit another home run by enabling anyone to monetize their daily work by contributing to training artificial intelligence. Parshant is a mench and we are so lucky to have innovative builders like him in Bittensor. As they say at Omega, "Be, and it becomes..."

We're back baby! Season 2 of the Bittensor Guru is finally here and we're dropping the first episode with a visit from Will Squires and Steffen Cruz and the Macrocosmos.ai team. With subnets 1, 9, 13, 25 and 37 this team is 29 brains strong and one of the primary forces shaping Bittensor today. We spend much of the episode covering S13's rebranding to "Gravity" and the team's prediction of a Trump victory along with how this has managed to build a team of PHDs and machine learning professionals around Bittensor. Read their monster October update here. Enjoy!
