Here is const's full keynote at Exploit Summit It is worth the 36 minutes, but I'll give you the cliff notes. > Affine 1, a model trained by anonymous miners entirely on Bittensor, matches the intelligence score of Anthropic's Opus 4.1. > 23 of 128 subnets now have paying customers > Gamma tokens are coming to turn subnet usage credits into something agents can buy from any chain. > "We're not afraid of hyper-intelligent bot swarms on the internet. We use them to optimize our technology."

People really need to revisit their preconceived notions on $TAO. This week on Steady Lads > Bittensor has "gotten past so many halvenings" / "Overspent its emissions" Bittensor had its first halvening event on Dec. 14, 2025 and will not have another halvening until Dec 2029 as it follows the same halvening schedule at Bitcoin. By this logic Bitcoin also overspent its incentives when it paid 50 BTC a block to people mining on laptops who contribute nothing to the network today. > "Become overly gamified" The point on Bittensor incentives being overly gamified is a fair critique of Bittensor from like 2 years ago, but has not been updated to account for upgrades and subnet improvement. dTAO: made emissions a market based system where subnet owners need to attract investment in order to earn emissions from the chain. Before dTAO subnet owners had to convince top validators to give them emissions. Post dTAO subnet owners need to convince a whole market. Emissions at the subnet level have also become more difficult to earn, not less, as owners refine incentive mechanisms and miner competition rises. But hey if you still think Bittensor is gameable, Bittensor is a permissionless protocol so feel free register a UID and start mining.

A miner on Micaela Bazo's (Micaela) Bittensor Subnet, SN68 NOVA (@metanovalabs), applied an energy supply optimization strategy for drug discovery to outcompete other miners. "One of the winning code submissions for Nova Blueprint used this optimization strategy that is usually used for energy supply, had never been applied to drug discovery, and performed really well across different targets. In fact it outcompeted a really well respected published method called the Thompson Sampling Technique, and it even did so for a hard-to-drug oncology target."
