Joined October 2021
As of today, General Tao Ventures has rebranded to General Tensor. Because we foresee #Bittensor and decentralized AI becoming an industry with incredible growth and scale, akin to the great technological revolutions of the past. We have started our journey of vertically integrating the entire DeAI stack through Bittensor, with validating, mining, subnet incubation and application building. And soon, we will continue to integrate and acquire other core inputs to those verticals. A lot to come in 2026!
🧵1/8 Today, General TAO Ventures becomes General Tensor.

FBI agents witnessed a silent, matte-black triangular object hover above a mountain ridge for roughly 20 seconds before it accelerated almost instantly and vanished into a canyon — all without visible engines, rotors, exhaust, or any conventional propulsion system. The 2026 encounter is among several incidents detailed in newly released Pentagon and Department of War documents examining unidentified anomalous phenomena. Agents used handheld thermal equipment and reported a uniform heat signature across the object's surface, with none of the concentrated hot spots typically associated with aircraft propulsion. The object's estimated wingspan was 9 to 15 feet. Neither the FBI nor the Pentagon's All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office has identified the object or established its origin. Fox News Digital has contacted AARO for comment, including whether the object has since been identified. Full story here foxnews.com/us/pentagon-ufo-…

What we’ve been working toward all along. The Telepathy Tapes documentary arrives February 24, 2027 exclusively on Prime Video. Bringing these stories to the screen has been a six-year labor of love. We can’t wait for you to meet the families, witness the tests, and experience the moments at the heart of this film. Thank you for your patience, encouragement, and belief in this project along the way. We can’t wait to share this with you✨

The first Bittensor subnet is coming to @solana 🟪 $SN80 by @openroboto will go live on Solana, bridged via ForeverMoney.ai. That will make SN80 the first TAO subnet live on three chains: Base, Robinhood Chain and Solana. And it won’t stop at SN80. Bridging to Solana will also be available on ForeverMoney.ai for $TAO and subnet tokens. As usual, @chainlink CCIP will power the cross-chain connection. Once live, you’ll be able to bridge from Bittensor to Solana via the link below:

Months of work. Now live. We've launched HaloGuard EU, our first product. Built to block the AI output the EU AI Act bans or treats as high-risk. $30 / billion tokens. Priced, live, free trial open. And it’s only the first.
Since Feb 2025 the EU AI Act has banned AI that infers emotions from face or voice at work. Would your agent do this? "Flag anyone who sounds frustrated or upset based on tone analysis." We built HaloGuard EU for this.

Which subnets open Yoko? 3 subnets get the first bouts. You pick them. Buy TAO > buy subnet token > trade bouts. Podium locks Sunday, 8pm UTC. Pick your top 3 and make it count. app.yokomarket.xyz/back

UPDATE: @const_reborn at Exploit outlined Gamma tokens for 2027. Proposed universal usage credits across Bittensor subnets. Burn subnet alpha at an oracle USD price to mint Gamma (e.g. $10 of alpha burned → 10 Gamma). Credit balance stays fixed as alpha moves and spends only as usage on that subnet. Aim: teams fund compute, inference, and storage inside the network from emissions.
Very excited crowd at Exploit. For those that missed, here is a break down of what I announced on stage.

The open AI race just landed on @base 🟦 @affine_io (SN120) turns AI development into an open competition on Bittensor, rewarding miners for measurable improvements in reasoning and coding models. Now we’re bringing its subnet token to Base, connecting that ambition with Base's traders, liquidity and DeFi ecosystem. A new audience for Affine has been unlocked!

Few will understand the massive unlock @safe enables for the Bittensor ecosystem > UX: Your EVM wallet controls your Finney addresses. Non-custodial > Agents: Automate securely via role modules safe.forevermoney.ai
Web3’s institutional multi-sig is now on Bittensor. @safe secures tens of billions - from DeFi protocols to Circle-scale treasuries. Now available for TAO + alpha: • multi-sig custody • scoped permissions for agents A massive unlock. More soon.

NEW from @opentensor + @chutes_ai: Harvard MadSys released a year of real LLM serving traces from SN64: 6.12B requests across 9,174 models. Subnet production data is now a public research object, not just an emissions scoreboard. Primary: arxiv.org/html/2608.13573v2 Data: data.freeinference.org/
A Harvard research team and @chutes_ai just released a public dataset covering one year of real-world LLM inference on Chutes: 6.12B requests across 9,174 models. Technical usage data from a Bittensor subnet is now open to the wider AI research community.

How are there not more mainstream news story about @HyperliquidX and the early airdrop receivers? People with conviction got airdropped a million dollars in $HYPE for just using the platform, and with conviction have just held that free airdrop for not even 2 years and have made enough to generationally retire their family. Such a cool story. I wish these types of stories came out of crypto more often.

$SN80 is now live on @base—the first Bittensor subnet to launch on Base with @forevermoney_ai. OpenRoboto is Bittensor Subnet 80: an open competition to improve the robotic models. Anyone can take the current best model, make it better, and submit it to compete for network rewards. Contract: 0x6F63d869011f95274498023b4ABFC00b30c34378 tinyurl.com/5n77hw36

The future of robotics state of the art models (SOTA) is decentralized - it just arrived on @base 🟦 @openroboto (Subnet 80) is an open competition where AI miners build and improve robotics models, all coordinated through the largest decentralized network in the world. This is the first Bittensor subnet to connect natively to Base, bringing decentralized AI infrastructure to the network with the most users, the deepest DeFi liquidity and the strongest builder ecosystem in crypto. The cross-chain connection is powered by @chainlink CCIP - the infrastructure making it possible for decentralized AI to run where the onchain economy lives.
