1/ The market is crashing today due to DeepSeek taking over, but imho, this is one of the most bullish things that could happen for $TAO. Why? Because it proves that open-source AI is winning. Let me explain 👇 A short thread 🧵 - @opentensor

Permissionless, Transparent, Decentralized. Yes here at Bittensor Affine, you will find a real democratic place to train and get incentivized.

Access to intelligence should not depend on a handful of companies or governments. This is why open, decentralized, permissionless AI matters. This is why Bittensor matters.

The US Government has given #Bittensor the best endorsement it could ever ask for They proved the entire thesis for why we need permissionless and decentralised AI Anthropic were forced by the Government to suspend access to Fable and Mythos models for any foreign nationals.. It doesn't matter what you think of Anthropic morals.. what the Governments reasons were.. whether the model was dangerous or not.. The point is.. Closed AI can be switched off We’ve been banging this drum in #bittensor for four years now If frontier intelligence can be restricted.. it will be restricted.. If access can be gatekept.. it will 100% be gatekept If a small group of powerful men and women can decide who gets intelligence and who doesn’t.. they will absolutely use that power This is exactly why bittensor:native matters Intelligence is just too important to have it sit behind permissioned walls controlled by governments and corporations #Bittensor is the fight against this.. Open.. permissionless.. incentivised True open intelligence built by the people.. for the good of the people This Anthropic news is proof that those fears are no longer theoretical.. This shit is real.. the door just got slammed The pure reason #bittensor exists.. is so the world has another one to walk through bittensor:native

The 29th era of Affine Champion now. While champions iterate fast, benchmark performance keeps raising the bar AFFINE-XXIX vs. Qwen3-32B baseline: • SWE-REBENCH 10.5 • SWE-MULTI 9.0 • HUMANEVAL 8.5 • MCP-AGENT 1.7 • BBH within tolerance

The irony on @affine_io right now: miners complaining the game is too hard, while the winners response to the same difficulty is recursive, ever-growing RL runs that push the pareto frontier almost daily. The winners are on a wagyu, champagne diet because the incentives align this. Same mechanism, opposite reactions. subnet 120. I love watching people complain and do nothing, while simultaneously watching people problem solve and win. Be the wolf.

I know you don’t want to look like you shill @affine_io on here in public but you and your team are doing insanely cool stuff and seeing big improvements on near daily basis. Excited for product launch. It deserves the attention especially with “open” AI touting this cheap imitation.

As always, affine push forward 👩‍💻🧑‍💻

$tao will probably be a good bid going into ‘proof of talk’ Ideal time for a lot of subnets unleash bullish news

Soon the affine portal will open. The enabler that providers singular, obvious use case for the $TAO token. The orchestrator that coordinates and aligns all relevant LLM and compute subnets into the most useful output for users. The storefront that will collect revenue and feed into the other heads of the hydra powering itself. The self reinforcing alchemical loop that enables and incentivises improvement upon its own modus operandi. Pushin Λ

The portal opens soon. Six years of patience collapsing into a single moment. $TAO doesn’t compete for intelligence, it consumes it. Losers aren’t entropy but a measurable unit of inadequacy that feeds the quantifiable value of truth. The way a black hole doesn’t negotiate with light. Intelligence has been mispriced for a long time. The repricing event here isnt a trade. It’s an event horizon. When it clicks it clicks. You don’t exit on the other side the same. The entropy is aligning. It’s almost time. Λf

SOTA per day is the new metric.

To improve mining experience, we built Affine GPU cluster with H200 on @TargonCompute. Now inferencing orchestrated and optimzed on the Affine cluster. • 2 x H200s per miner • 8 slots for now - more to come soon The arena now has its own compute. Expect full migaration soon.

🔵 @affine_io product release coming soon.. "This will be the beginnings of the major aha moment for the subnet in terms of what is being built here" Beta release being teased for next week $TAO

Aha moment is coming for @affine_sn120 !

7 days in the arena where challengers rose and fell. Now a new Champion stands out with sweat and blood. Affine-II took the crown from Affine-I, outperforming on all 6 live envs, significantly on: • LIVEWEB 5.76% • NAVWORLD 4.72% • SWE 6.22%· • MEMORY 10.1%

Winner-takes-all. There's only ONE Champion here at Affine. ~τ220 /day ~$60K /day 100% of Affine miner emission. Here's how you join the game and take the crown:

Imagine what one week of open competition ships at Affine. Affine-I beats Qwen3-32B on every SWE benchmark we ran. SWE-Rebench: 5.3 vs. 0 SWE-Bench Multilingual: 10.3 vs. 2.3 Terminal Bench V2: 5.6 vs. 3.4

Centralization will lead to humanities demise. side with tools for the people. go open. choose bittensor. bittensor.com 1 $TAO = 1 $TAO

Miners are seriously cooking on @affine_io 🔥 $TAO
