Had enough centralization? Time to FLock OFF! Introducing FLock OFF - SN96 - Subnet (UID 96) on Bittensor - a permissionless federated learning network optimized for Small Language Models (SLMs) training on edge devices. Made by FLock.io, accelerated by Yuma

2/ Why now? Chips like @Apple M-series, A18 Pro, @Snapdragon 8 Gen3, and Dimensity 9400 are now powerful enough to support Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning on edge devices. What they need is good data and data privacy!

3/ We’re here to solve a key challenge: 👉 How do we compress large domain datasets into dense, efficient ones, creating a high-quality dataset that maximizes knowledge within a size limit? Our answer is FLock OFF - FLock Open Federated Framework

4/ FLock OFF is a subnet on Bittensor where anyone can participate, generate training data, validate models, and coordinate intelligence. a. FLock - Federated intelligence clusters b. Open - Permissionless participation c. Federated - Only nodes collectively coordinate and aggregate computation with data privacy d. Framework - A robust pipeline for efficient and secure decentralized computation

5/ With FLock OFF, we aim to build an ultra-high-quality dataset that maximizes knowledge within a fixed size limit, ideal for edge-based training where bandwidth and compute are limted. Our final goal is to develop an open-source SLM that surpasses GPT-4.1-nano and other efficient private models.

6/ When centralized servers push you around, show them your federated power! 🖕 Subnet 96 is our way of making it real. Join the FLock OFF movement - Open, Federated, and Fearless. 👉 The Season 1 Mining will start at 9:06 AM EST on this Friday!

Here I share an XGBoost model that delivers a 25% CAGR with minimal drawdown on Visa stock. In this free Substack post I share code and commentary for a powerful Machine Learning strategy that delivers powerful returns.
