Exploring the Novelty Search on Bittensor, featuring Covenant 72B and Templar SN3.
We invite you to join us this week for the latest installment of Novelty Search, where our focus will be on SN3 and @tplr_ai. During this event, we will dive into the fascinating details behind @covenant_ai 72B and its impressive processing volume of approximately 1.1T tokens. This network operates entirely on commodity internet, which means it completely bypasses the need for a centralized cluster and operates without any whitelist. Because of this highly accessible architecture, anyone equipped with GPUs had the flexibility to connect to the system or disconnect whenever they chose. The discussion will be guided by our host @const_reborn, who will be welcoming a wonderful panel of special guests that includes @DistStateAndMe, @erfan_mhi, @Hevalon, @joellidin, and @amir_sarfi. We look forward to having you tune in with us on the Bittensor Discord at 9PM UTC.
We are delighted to share the results of the SF Bittensor hackathon track. This exciting competition was organized and produced by @redwoodnorth_io, alongside our Intelligence at The Frontier partner, @FundingCommons.
A huge congratulations goes out to our top three innovators for their outstanding contributions. Capturing the first place award is @provenonce_ai with their project, Proof of Assurance, which focuses on providing robust cryptographic assurance for AI workflows. Securing the second place spot is @PCCProtocol for developing the Physical Capability Cloud Protocol, an initiative dedicated to enabling verified coordination for physical-world services. Rounding out our champions in third place is @tech_insignia. Their project, Insignia, introduces a system for decentralized quant trading that incorporates competitive model evaluation.
The victorious teams will be sharing an incredibly rewarding prize pool. Financial and technical rewards include a $3500 cash prize, accompanied by $3000 in compute credits supplied by @basilic_ai. Additionally, the winners will be considered for a discretionary investment of up to 1000 TAO courtesy of @UnsupervisedCap, and they will receive an allocation of 50 TAO from @CrucibleLabs to be applied toward mainnet registration. To cap off these amazing prizes, the successful participants have also earned a valuable introductory call with the team at @bitstarterAI.

The Bittensor ecosystem truly thrives as the opportunity to create and develop becomes accessible to a broader audience. At the same time, we are observing a noticeable upward trend in agentic vibe mining across the network.
An unprecedented milestone is currently capturing the attention of @nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and @chamath in their recent conversations. They are discussing the most extensive decentralized pre-training event for a large language model ever recorded in history. Working through SN3, @tplr_ai successfully completed the training of Covenant-72B by collaborating with 70+ contributors across open internet infrastructure. This exciting achievement clearly signals that distributed, open-weight model training on Bittensor is truly just beginning its journey.
What we commonly refer to as artificial intelligence is actually a cooperative stack of various components. It is the seamless integration of these different layers that ultimately produces the systems we recognize as intelligent.
Looking at the architecture of Bittensor, it is constructed from exactly 128 distinct sub-networks. You can think of every individual subnet as a specialized, market-driven production facility. These hubs organize miners to generate specific digital commodities, while ensuring that the highest quality results receive the best rewards.
The sheer variety of these commodities is quite extensive. They encompass compute, distributed training, fine-tuning, inference, data, labels, synthetic data, evaluations, ranking, RL environments, agents, vision, audio, storage, privacy tooling, VPNs, search, forecasting, and prediction markets.
Over the course of this weekend, developers gathering at @frontiertower for the @FundingCommons hackathon will be hard at work. These builders are focused on crafting brand new subnets designed to expand the sovereign AI infra stack.

We are thrilled to announce the BITTENSOR ON-SITE HACKATHON taking place in San Francisco. Hosted at @frontiertower located at 995 Market St, this event features an on-site subnet sprint scheduled from Mar 11 at 9:00 AM through Mar 15 at 1:00 PM. Participants are invited to construct a sovereign AI layer operating as a Bittensor subnet. Applications are currently being accepted.
Your subnet build will be evaluated based on six key metrics. Judges will analyze market demand to determine if the concept is worth building, define the miner task to clarify the work involved, and examine validator scoring to understand how quality is measured. Additionally, the panel will assess incentive design to verify that economics drive improvements, check economic viability for self-sustainability, and confirm technical feasibility to ensure the project can be successfully built and launched.
The top 3 teams will earn significant rewards, including a launch pathway for post-event support. Prize packages feature up to 1000 TAO in discretionary funding plus an investor pitch provided by @UnsupervisedCap. @CrucibleLabs is offering 50 TAO toward mainnet registration, while @basilic_ai is contributing $5,000 in GPU compute credits. A total cash bounty of $2000 will be split among the winners in amounts of $1000, $600, and $400.
The panel of judges includes @bitmind, @DistStateAndMe, @shibshib89, and @6329. We are grateful for the support of our partners: @FundingCommons, @protocollabs, @frontiertower, and @RedwoodNorthTAO.

We have successfully navigated through 24 days of DDoS activity. Throughout this period, the TEEs remained stable, and the network is harder as a result. Be sure to check out the full episode featuring SN64 and @chutes_ai 🪂 on youtube and spotify.
Join us as we explore the decentralization of Bittensor and address the critical question of who maintains authority over network upgrades. This episode details the significant transition from centrally managed environments to fully self-operating systems. We delve into the mechanics of the cryptographically selected Triumvirate, the specific veto powers granted to validators and subnets, and the migration of chain nodes to independent operators utilizing NPoS.

Here is the latest weekly progress report for the @opentensor Foundation Validaτor. We are currently performing validation duties across 104 of the 128 available subnets. Our position stands at rank #3, representing a network dominance of 7.39%. We are grateful to our 10'950 nominators who have entrusted us with a delegated stake totaling 580K TAO. Resources from our validator are utilized to finance the ongoing creation and upkeep of the Bittensor Blockchain as we continue establishing the essential AI infrastructure layer. #Bittensor $TAO
Please view this content prior to building a subnet. It includes 12 minutes of signal featuring @const_reborn. This is the final opportunity to participate in the Bittensor Subnet Ideathon. Refer below to pitch your subnet idea to a panel of judges.
Top-tier builders establish subnets based on objective functions that are mathematically rigorous. These environments operate as specific production systems characterized by measurable results and performance scoring by validators. They also maintain aligned incentives through Proof of useful work. When you build on Bittensor, your role is to create the mechanism, allowing the network to handle the scaling.
Accessing frontier AI shouldn't require the massive budgets typical of Silicon Valley, and that is exactly what Bittensor aims to solve for Africa. On 25 Feb, we are bringing this mission to #Nairobi by hosting the Bittensor Subnet Ideathon during the Sankalp Africa Summit.
Our agenda features a practical workshop designed to translate actual problems into viable subnet ideas. You will also hear from special guests, including Gareth representing #SN85 (@vidaio_) and Sam from #SN3, #SN39 & #SN81 (@covenant_ai).
We invite you to Think it, Pitch it, and Build it with us.
The session takes place at the Sarit Expo Centre in Pavilion 2 from 11:00–15:00 EAT.
