Last Hallelujah Challenge, I was only hoping for a decent ML internship. After HC, I secured two top ML roles, became a U.S. National Lab AI Fellow, and separately became 1 of 5 national AI Fellows, with full funding for my final PhD year. I was also retained beyond summer. All these came with media coverage beyond my comprehension🥺. Please join HC; seek God genuinely and He shall direct your paths.

Did you miss any of the great presentations at @ExploitSummit ? Or do you have any talks you’d like to watch again? Great news. Our LIVESTREAM website has them all. stream.vidaio.io/vod.html Video On Demand (VOD) allows you to watch all the action. At the top of the page, look for the “Watch again” tab. Filter by Day 1 or 2, and which stage the talk was given. Optionally, use the search bar on the right to search by speaker, subnet, or talk title. Every talk will have subtitles in English, French, Spanish, Chinese, German, and Italian, prepared after the event with our most accurate models, plus the key takeaways and highlights. Dubbed voices are being added talk by talk as well. Choose your language in the top right pull-down list. Currently, all videos have English and French subtitles, and many have all 6 available. (The rest coming as soon as we get back home) Open any talk for the full presentations, and see Key Takeaways and Highlights as well as other events from that day on the right. Download the subtitles/transcript in multiple languages. We appreciate our community and welcome any feedback regarding your user experience for both the LIVESTREAM and the WATCH AGAIN services. Please let us know if there are any features you’d like to see. Happy viewing! @vidaio_ bittensor:native

Most video libraries and archives are carrying uncompressed bloat nobody's checking for. We scanned a production video library recently: 60,000+ videos, 253TB of storage. 84% of files needed compression they weren't getting. Projected overall storage reduction: ~38%. (Some files estimated as high as 60%) Media archives. Security footage. Retail, education, corporate video. For large archives and libraries, this is a serious reduction in yearly spend. @vidaio_ $TAO

I don't normally do these kind of recommendations but I know the value of a good subnet dev with experience. @ArpanTripathi20 is available to any Bittensor teams who need help on the subnet incentive mechanism side of things. He has proved himself on both the old 19 and Vidaio and in answer to what you are thinking ..it is consolidation of devs on our side, not any lacking on his side that frees him up for new paths.

If Open Router is valued at $7bn and @say_gm_ does what they do but on average 45% cheaper and without sniffing your prompts. It has to be worth checking out: saygm.com

Introducing CABIN from PIP Studios. The world's first glimpse of PIP's new video platform. CABIN is the only AI product suite PIP will be pushing their roster through: Sony, Paramount, Amazon, Universal, Netflix, and more. The gateway is what PIP does best, localization. From there, CABIN opens into a full suite of video tools. And if those tools sound familiar... you've probably guessed it. It's the full @vidaio_ feature set, running under PIP's own brand. CABIN - powered by VIDAIO $TAO @vidaio_
Some of you might be wondering, "What ever happened to that PIP Studios deal?" We announced a big name, a roster of clients that are the who's who in the video industry. Then it went quiet. Was it dead? Too early? A struggle to close deals? Actually, it was none of the above. There was nothing to close, not yet. There was an important distinction when we announced the deal might have gone unnoticed: the relationship is a joint venture. Vidaio isn't being sold to PIP's clients. And PIP isn't reselling @vidaio_ either. The deal is that every time PIP's clients hire them for AI-powered localization work, Vidaio earns from it directly. While it looked quiet, we were building SOTA AI localisation tools for them, which are now being demoed and tested on their client base. It's all a matter of timing, and that time has come! Stay tuned. @vidaio_ bittensor:native

We are very excited about this partnership with @webuildscore, which brings a new layer of visual intelligence and value to VidaioOS and our customers. Watch this space for more updates in the coming weeks!
Score x Vidaio. Following our @ProofOfTalk presentation, @vidaio_ (SN85) is partnering with us to be one of the first teams to launch their own vision AI challenges on SN44. The goal: bring advanced visual intelligence into VidaioOS, making video archives searchable, actionable and monetisable at an entirely new level. Two subnets, one network effect. More to come in the coming weeks.

Did somebody say SOTA???.... Yes we did!!! Here is a Sneak Peek from our upcoming Vidaio benchmark report. A lower score is better, but negative is best! Vidaio came in at -23.5% vs FFmpeg That means Vidaio achieved the same perceptual quality using significantly fewer bits. Why does this matter? Because every extra bit in video becomes a cost: Storage. Bandwidth. CDN. Edge replication. At scale, compression efficiency is not a technical detail; it is financial savings. More from the full benchmark report coming soon! VidaioOS is the product. Subnet 85 is the engine. @vidaio_ $TAO

Vidaio x Pip Studios — Joint Venture We are beyond excited to announce this joint venture! This is bigger than a partnership. It’s a gateway to the global media ecosystem. Through this joint venture, VidaioOS is now positioned directly within Pip Studios’ network spanning major studios, platforms, and content owners, including Netflix, Amazon, Sony, Universal, Paramount, and more. This means: → Direct access to enterprise workflows → Real-world video workloads entering the network → Faster adoption at scale Pip Studios is part of the TPN (Trusted Partner Network), the industry standard for secure content handling. That places VidaioOS inside trusted pipelines used by the world’s biggest players. This isn’t about selling individual tools, its about embedding an AI-native video infrastructure layer across an existing global client base. Think of this as a gateway to 50+ major partnerships. We’re not just building the future of video infrastructure; we’re now connected to where it already operates.

We have some big news to share today. Chutes is partnering with a research team from Harvard University to push the boundaries of AI inference efficiency. The team at Harvard, led by Professor Juncheng Yang @1a1a11a, is developing a new prefix caching algorithm designed to significantly accelerate inference while reducing hardware usage.
