Building decentralized AI on Bittensor? Apply for the Hacker House in Bangkok this December.
We're co-hosting the event with @injective. Applications close tomorrow!
.@opentensor and Injective are hosting a hacker house this December in Bangkok to find the brightest builders across AI and agentic infrastructure.
Register before submissions close tomorrow!

Today we’re launching OpenRoboto Shift, opening a new chapter for OpenRoboto.
Shift is a decentralized network for collecting egocentric robotics data: first-person video of real people doing real work.
Only Possible on Bittensor.
Explore Shift → shift.openroboto.ai/

Over the past week, OpenRoboto shipped updates across the website, submission system, and benchmark evaluation pipeline.
Miners can now follow a submission from queue entry through live evaluation progress, final scoring, or rejection. Check out our tech update for the past week:

Bittensor is built for an agentic world.
The new Bittensor documentation is machine-readable. Agents can load the full corpus into a context window, discover chain operations, preview them, and execute them.
Builders also get a clearer path into the network, with a five-minute Quickstart, SDK and CLI guides, and migration resources.
Full documentation in the first comment.

Bittensor's co-founder just said something that stopped me cold.
He and his co-founder built the entire protocol from scratch.
And then the subnets started moving faster than both of them combined.
His exact words.
People far smarter than us have started building on top of the system.
The founders do not develop subnets anymore.
The network outgrew them.
Now read why that sentence is the most bullish thing anyone has ever said about $TAO.
Bitcoin's creators did not build every application that runs on Bitcoin.
They built the incentive layer and got out of the way.
The network grew into something far beyond anything two people could have built alone.
That is exactly what just happened to Bittensor.
Decentralised training producing more resilient models than centralised alternatives.
Subnets beating state of the art benchmarks domain after domain.
Corporations like Unity pulling 3D objects directly from Bittensor for commercial video games.
DeepMind researchers publicly acknowledging that decentralised training produces stronger more generalised models.
All of it happening without the founders directing any of it.
TCP/IP does not need its inventors to maintain it anymore.
The internet ran past them decades ago.
Bittensor just crossed the same threshold.
Two founders watching the protocol they built outgrow them in real time is not a red flag.
It is the oldest signal in technology.
The people who recognised that moment in Bitcoin did not need to explain themselves later.
The people who recognised it in Ethereum did not either.
This is still early.
The people who read the docs always buy before the people who read the price.
Screenshot this.
Two people who were early in Bitcoin and early in Ethereum just went on record about $TAO.
One of them wrote a book about Bitcoin in 2013.
The other invested in the Ethereum ICO in 2015.
Both of them started a fund with Jason Calacanis with a single thesis.
Bittensor is the third great open-source substrate after Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Here is the exact framing they used.
In the early 90s Microsoft, AOL, and CompuServe were the well-capitalised incumbents.
Everyone thought they would monopolise and run away with the internet.
Then TCP/IP, Linux, and the World Wide Web came along and everything converged on an open-source substrate.
Bittensor is that open-source substrate for the AI story playing out right now.
OpenAI. Anthropic. Google DeepMind. XAI. Different cast of characters. Same pattern.
And this time you can actually own a piece of the open-source substrate.
Now read the valuation mismatch that should stop you cold.
The four main AI labs combined are worth approximately $1.5 trillion.
Bittensor is worth $1.7 billion.
Ridges subnet competes directly with Claude and Cursor and has beaten them on benchmarks.
Ridges market cap is $30 million.
Cursor is worth $30 billion.
That is not a small dislocation. That is a comical one.
The highest valued subnet in the entire ecosystem is around $80 million.
There has never been a billion dollar subnet yet.
On Ethereum during the ICO mania projects with nowhere near this quality of output were raising hundreds of millions within minutes.
Now think about how many orders of magnitude more capital is chasing AI opportunities today compared to 2017.
When that capital discovers Bittensor the valuation rerating will be violent to the upside.
Their exact words. Not mine.
The man who called $TAO at $3,000 by end of 2026 said it directly.
By 2030 it will be a trillion dollar ecosystem.
Every molecule in my body is screaming this is another one.
The people who read the docs always buy before the people who read the price.
This is still early.

In 2015, Google’s algorithms classified people of color as monkeys.
When they got caught, they just buried the results rather than fixing the underlying bias.
Big AI labs today are the same. "Just trust me bro." Nobody can even check.
This is what happens when AI is built behind closed doors.
But information asymmetry never lasts forever.
Expedia broke travel agents' grip on flight prices.
Zillow broke realtors' grip on home values.
Glassdoor broke HR's grip on salary data.
The same result, every time.
Transparency didn't just improve the market. It restructured it entirely. Billion-dollar companies were built on nothing more than setting hidden information free.
AI agents are next.
Right now, nobody can tell you why an agent chose one product over another, or whose interests it's actually serving.
ORO is the transparency layer. Open competition. Open source. Verifiable agent behavior.
The playbook is proven. We're just applying it to AI shopping.
Full Podcast dropping soon.

Chutes is and always will be a bittensor project, chutes is bittensor, and bittensor is chutes 🫶
Reminder too that chutes team operates as a group of independent corporations with no CEO, and our funds are locked into a smart contract which pays our staking rewards to fund the team members.
If any subnet teams want assistance in setting up a similar smart contract situation or anything, we are happy to help.

On the @theallinpod this week, @chamath asked @nvidia CEO Jensen Huang about decentralized AI training, calling our Covenant-72B run "a pretty crazy technical accomplishment."
One correction: it's 72 billion parameters, not four. Trained permissionlessly across 70+ contributors on commodity internet. The largest model ever pre-trained on fully decentralized infrastructure.
Jensen's answer is worth hearing too.

Ridges (subnet 62) launched today at $29/mo for 100 PRs.
That's $0.29/PR on 73-88% SWE-bench Verified and 96.3% Polyglot (using open source models).
5-7x cheaper than Claude Code and Codex at with comparable quality on standardized benchmarks.
Built on Bittensor for ~$10m in $TAO emissions while Cursor raised from VC's at a $29B valuation.
So: It's better. And it costs significantly less.
Try it: ridges.ai
History in the making ✍️
The next phase of Bittensor has begun.
Governance is coming on-chain.
Chain nodes are decentralizing.
Power is leaving the Opentensor foundation.
This is the transition
from network → organism.
