Listen Later

Bittensor, a decentralized AI project, is gaining attention as one of the most promising intersections of AI and crypto.

AI and crypto are two of the hottest topics of the decade, but are there any projects truly making waves at the intersection of both? Bittensor, an open-source, decentralized AI network, is positioning itself as a leader in this space, with its TAO token seeing explosive growth and its model challenging traditional centralized AI companies.

In this episode, we’re joined by Joseph Jacks, aka JJ, founder of OSS Capital, and Sami Kassab, partner at OSS Capital, to explore why they’ve gone all-in on Bittensor. They discuss how Bittensor works, what makes it different from centralized AI models, and why they believe this project could be transformative for both crypto and AI.

Show highlights:

  • OSS Capital’s background and how they got to invest in Bittensor
  • Why Sami and JJ are bullish on TAO
  • What the three roles in the Bittensor ecosystem are
  • How new subnets incentivize miners to develop AI models

  • Why Bittensor was built on the Polkadot SDK
  • The pros and cons of rolling out EVM compatibility
