In this Subnet Session, we’re joined by Wandering Weights - aka Chris - the quietly brilliant mind behind Gradients (SN56).

We talk about how Gradients is flipping the post-training market on its head:

• $250 fine-tuned LLMs that rival $10K AWS jobs
• A roadmap to 5.0 and enterprise-grade privacy
• Why replacing 5 ML engineers with one isn’t dystopian - it’s profitable
• And how 3,000 early users are already generating real-world revenue

If you’ve ever trained a model, hired an ML team, or cursed at AutoML’s pricing - this one’s for you.

In this Subnet Session, we chat with Mikel and Mentor Palokaj — co-founders of TPN (SN65) — a privacy-first VPN built on Bittensor.

TPN isn’t just another Nord clone. It’s a decentralized network of nodes that rewards miners for operating in hard-to-reach locations like Iran or Pyongyang, enabling true global coverage and resilience against censorship.

We cover:

– Why VPNs are a natural fit for Bitensor’s incentive model

– How TPN makes surveillance harder and logging obsolete

– Their “AWS for VPNs” vision, open dev tooling, and upcoming consumer app

– And how API fees will flow straight into alpha buybacks

If you think VPNs are boring, this one might change your mind.

In this Subnet Session, we sit down with James from Synth (SN50) - a predictive modeling subnet that’s quietly becoming Bittensor’s financial backbone.

Synth isn’t about calling prices - it’s about modeling volatility. James walks us through how hundreds of miners generate millions of synthetic price paths for BTC, ETH, and soon gold, and how that data is being used in DeFi protocols, hedge fund strategies, risk models, and trading agents.

We cover:

• Why volatility matters more than price

• How Synth outperforms industry benchmarks by 30%

• The roadmap for fiat revenue and alpha buybacks

• And why recruiting elite data scientists is Bittensor’s next frontier

If you’re betting on decentralized finance, intelligence, and infrastructure - this one’s for you.

In this Subnet Session, we talk with Michaela Bazo, CEO of Metanova (SN68) — the first decentralized drug screening platform on Bittensor.

We dig into how Metanova is reshaping pharma’s $2.6B, 10-year funnel with a token-incentivized AI network that screens molecules faster, cheaper, and with real novelty. We cover everything from miner incentives to big pharma partnerships, behavioral drugs to decentralized R&D, and why alpha-backed screening might become biotech’s new backbone.

If you’re into deep tech, biotech disruption, or trillion-dollar TAMs — this one’s essential.

Gareth Howes has spent 25 years behind the scenes of broadcast and streaming – but now he’s building a subnet.

In this Subnet Session, we sit down with Gareth to explore Subnet 85 - Vidaio - Bittensor’s first and only video processing subnet. He breaks down how their AI-enhanced compression and upscaling tech could save platforms like Netflix and Amazon millions, without compromising quality.

We cover:

• Why emerging markets are a massive wedge for Vidaio

• How AI can reduce file sizes by up to 80%

• Why compression, not upscaling, will be their 90% revenue driver

• The roadmap to fiat billing and enterprise partnerships

• And what they plan to do with real-world revenue when it starts flowing

If you’re betting on real-world adoption of Bittensor infrastructure – Vidaio is one to watch.

Chutes is the top subnet on Bittensor - and in this deep dive, co-founder Jon Durbin explains why.

We talk about Chutes as a serverless AI compute platform, how it’s already processing over 100 billion tokens a day, and what early fiat revenue means for long-term sustainability. Jon shares how Trusted Execution Environments (TEE's) will unlock privacy and enterprise adoption, what differentiates Chutes from Coreweave or Together AI, and how they’ve structured token incentives to avoid sell pressure.

In this Subnet Session, we speak with Ksian - the builder behind Subnet 16 (Hashtensor) - about why he’s connecting Bittensor to proof-of-work mining, starting with Kaspa.

We cover how Hashtensor differs from SN14, how it routes 95% of mining rewards directly to miners, and how buybacks and burns are baked into the model.

Plus: future plans to add Bitcoin and Monero, and why Ksian vfr believes lean teams and token utility will win.

In this episode, Mark and Siam unpack Bittensor’s sudden subnet cap - and why it might be the best thing to happen to the network in months.

From emissions to unknown subnets, centralisation FUD to real builder pressure, this is a raw take on what the cap means and what might come next.

In this Subnet Session, we chat with David Fields - co-founder of ReadyAI - aka Subnet 33.

We dig into how Subnet 33 fits inside Bittensor, why infra matters more than hype, and what it takes to create actual utility in a token-incentivized ecosystem.

In this Subnet Session, Mark and Siam interview Ken Jon Miyachi - founder of Bittensor's subnet 34 - Bitmind.
