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!

The premier subnet on Bittensor as of Aug 2024 is Subnet 19 Vision and its lead developer, Namoray, joins the pod for a second time to discuss how he approaches subnet development and how work on one subnet can impact the entire network. We also get into the future of Bittensor and where we see the network headed in the next 18 months. This conversation was a pleasure. Video pod episode links below.

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.
