Novelty Search tonight. 2 protocol upgrades to Subtensor. Conviction + TAO Flow V2 2 subnet teams building on Bittensor. \\ @cacheon_ai :: #SN14 \\ @Bitrecs :: #SN122 Live via Bittensor Discord Hosted by @const_reborn 9PM UTC / 5PM EDT https://t.co/IC90PMIDwc
Bittensor has its own track at Proof of Talk this year. See you next month!
The first SGLang-based miner hit testnet (5GbtnKr4, UID 15)! This is exactly what Cacheon is designed for: bring any language or framework you want, as long as you match the OpenAI-style API we document (/health, streaming chat completions, logprobs, etc.).
Conviction on #Bittensor explained by @taostats Read the full docs here 👉 https://t.co/IdMvPcK5Zk "Conviction is a new feature allowing locking alpha to a subnet to show conviction (reduces rugpulls)" $TAO https://t.co/oebwpS0RfM
Think you can beat the machine? Play against the winning RL Tron model from each round. As these are reinforcement learning AI models, the winning submission rides autonomously on the playing field, meaning you can’t simply memorise its tactics. You can only rely on skill. So far, the round 2 winner has won against 55% of human rivals. Can you outsmart it?

Look at that UI - second to none. Subnets on Bittensor are getting real. $tao #bittensor https://t.co/2pOZ8Xzotb
A Vietnamese miner with a GPU can now compete with anyone in the world. No visa. No approval. No gatekeeper. This is what Bittensor subnets actually unlock: anyone, anywhere, plugging into a global network and getting paid purely on contribution. This is what permissionless actually means.
Really important point inside. The conditions in which Bittensor spawned - fair launching and building out key decentralization foundations (OTF, mining community, base infra, liquidity, etc) - prior to the ChatGPT revolution can never be recreated. Furthermore, the
There’s a slate of new upgrades potentially hitting Bittensor mainnet tomorrow. While the Conviction Upgrade has attracted most of the attention, the algorithm controlling TAO emissions will also be refactored, which of course has impacts across all subnets. Today, TAO emissions effectively work like this (oversimplifying but conceptually accurate): • For each subnet, the chain calculates the net flows of the subnet. • If you’ve had positive net inflows (people buying your token) over the past few weeks, then you’re eligible to get TAO emissions into your pool. If you’ve had net outflows, then you’re not going to be eligible to get TAO emissions. • For those subnets that are eligible, they’ll split the daily 3600 TAO emissions roughly in proportion to their individual net inflows. More relative inflows = more relative TAO emissions. • If you’ve had a ton of inflows, then the chain will give you TAO as liquidity in your pool and will additionally buy your token off the market. The upcoming change restructures this algorithm. The netting of buys/sells to get the inflows stays the same, but the algorithm now will reduce a subnet's inflow by including TAO emissions and TAO used to buy back a subnet token. If you’re a subnet that’s been getting high TAO emissions and/or buy backs from the chain, this will actually negatively impact your inflow calculation. It’s hard to project the impact this will have going forward. But, the backtesting done by the core team shows that the total subnets getting TAO emissions will go from somewhere between 50-60 to ~30. Subnets only rely on TAO emissions for liquidity within their liquidity pools. If you’re not getting TAO emissions, miners/validators/subnet owners all still get paid (they all get subnet token emissions, no one gets TAO emissions directly). So, I don’t expect the change to be detrimental, but emission flows will likely become much more concentrated.

MoonPay bought Dawn Labs. AI agents trading Polymarket. Every fintech becomes an agent platform. The real question: who owns the agents? One company? Or a subnet?
