In this live presentation at the "Inside Bittensor" event by DSV Fund, Siam opens up the day with a fascinating insight into the evolution of money and networks. He shares: 💶 Why money is crystallised work energy. 🕸️Why most things we use are by-products of defence networks. 🪙How Bitcoin is revolutionising energy storage and transfer. 🤖Why AI is progressing MUCH faster than people think. 🌎Why Bittensor is the 3rd great global network that might transform AI. ⚡️Why the independent AI start ups in the Bittensor ecosystem can move much faster than centralised AI labs. 🚀Why Bittensor is mimicking the growth of Bitcoin, but faster...

Another Bittensor release which shouldnt go silently. This is a full top to bottom model, pre-trained on Teutonic (3) and then post trained in a competitive environment to reach coding performance above Qwen's flag ship 9B model. These models are small sure, put these performance metrics are not, and the thing to watch here is alignment -- the team was able to aim a laser cannon at intelligence production and punch through SOTA weight class. Every day something new. Congrats @reliquary_ai
We’ve released Teutonic-I-Reliquary, a 9B model post-trained entirely on Bittensor using untrusted GPUs, from RTX 3090s to B200s. It beats Qwen3.5-9B on SWE-bench Verified, scoring 43.6% vs 35.1%.

Just a month to go before the Xmas event on the 5th Dec! Will be a full day of AI/tech/market/AI Agent related content. Some Bittensor subnet owners talking about what they're up to and a whole load of socialising! Hot lunch and dinner is included and then a tab on the bar for the night fun. The party area has shuffleboard, Fifa, pool, darts and other games. Will be fun and a chance to meet a whole bunch of like-minded people. Grab your tickets! TheRealisticTrader.com

Played around with tao.com for the first time and blimey! What a great on/off ramp. You can convert funds into native TAO in seconds and you can convert native TAO into USDC or ETH on the ERC20 chain in seconds. Finally, can stop using MEXC now! Congrats @Gylez great work.

AdTAO is live on ForeverMoney. SN21 Alpha can now be traded on Base. If you already use Base, you can access SN21 through a compatible EVM wallet and trade the SN21/TAO pair on ForeverMoney. The Base token is a bridged representation of AdTAO's Alpha on Bittensor. SN21 miners continue developing prediction models on $TAO Bittensor to help AdTAO assess Google Ads changes. We're excited to introduce AdTAO to the Base community, with another way to discover and access the subnet we're building. Explore the SN21 market through the link in our first reply. In AdTAO, we trust.

Done. Subnet owners, have a play to see if this Conviction Loyalty Programme tickles your fancy. This is just a calculator that enables you to crunch some numbers etc. Can make any changes if needs be: chainbuying.netlify.app/#con… Of course, this should go without saying (but some have already misinterpreted this), this is just a potential side thing for a subnet. Producing and delivering a product/service should always be paramount for a subnet. That's the key growth driver. Not fancy tokenomics. But fancy tokenomics on a good subnet which locks up supply and reduces sell side and rewards loyal investors is like a nice turbo charger.
There are a few discussions about eTAO at the moment in various Bittensor groups. For the uninitiated, every subnet is emitted by the chain, 7200 alpha (subnet tokens) per day. It's always been split with 18% (1296 alpha) going to subnet owner, 41% (2952 alpha) to miners and 41% to validators. But the validators don't get all of that as it's from that chunk where subnet holders derive their APY. If you hold a subnet, most subnets give between 30-70% APY. My default action with any new Bittensor change is to just sit on hands and wait for the dust to settle. More info = more informed actions. Many subnet owners are battling with what to do now but it's important to note that these aren't static changes. You can change the splits dynamically. Once a week roughly. So if you are doing a push on miner activities like a new challenge or something, you could whack up the miner emissions to incentivise a flurry of good work. Then reduce it back to normal once you get the data you need. Or if you're running a bespoke competition or something. Also the vali segment for holder APY is a red herring (in my personal opinion). Chain data shows explicitly that the average dTAO holder does NOT hold for the long term. So the subnet APY is meaningless! Holder rotation is high in dTAO, so they're barely benefiting from the 30-70% yields of subnets. Seriously, it's a very small percentage of holders that actually HODL in dTAO. Which is why I've always said that timing entries is more important as entry and exit price really dictate how much your portfolios grows/tanks. So for subnet owners, a better move (again, in my opinion) is to have a Conviction Loyalty Programme. Loyal holders really do need to be rewarded over transient trend/hype rotators. Something like, if a holder convicts for 3 months, then at the end of that 3 month period, the subnet owner then rewards that wallet with x alpha from the owner key. To the point where that alpha bonus works out to way than the subnet APY. And if someone does a 6 or 12 month lock, make it so that the APY is north of 100% or something. It's very easy to create a script that does it automagically. So in order to facilitate that, you could dynamically adjust the owner key emissions percentage based on amount/size of convicted takers and then algorithmically move that surplus alpha to a public Loyalty Dispersion Wallet. That's a much better move in my opinion. Long term investors and long term vision-aligned miners are exactly what subnets need. Will make sure Mark and I have a chat about this the next time we do a Revenue Search. P.S. In order news, I finally got that neck/spine surgery. And I didn't die, so that's a bonus. Completely lost my voice for the meantime as they had to move around the larynx and trachea, so I guess I'm going to be hooked to my phone for the next couple of weeks!

Ha, thanks for all the kind comments folks. Appreciated. In hindsight I should have separated the posts! One for the neck and one for the Conviction Loyalty Programme 😂 I quite like the loyalty idea. Any downsides one can see?

Congrats Gavin/Pranav! Excellent work! Also, great interview @markjeffrey with Gavin.
We’re building the intelligence that will power the next generation of sales. Every sales team should know who to reach, why now, and what to do next, with the context to make every conversation relevant. That’s the vision behind @LeadpoetAI. I’m excited to share that we’ve crossed $100k ARR following our latest launch and a strong response to our outreach. Thank you to the customers putting their trust in us and helping shape Leadpoet. We’re proud of this progress and focused on helping you grow.
