🔥 Subnet Summer AMA -
@vocence_bt (Subnet 78)
Building a decentralised voice generation and speech synthesis network powered by competitive AI infrastructure, Vocence is Subnet 78 on Bittensor, creating a permissionless voice layer designed to power the next generation of scalable, controllable, and trustless speech AI applications.
In this episode, we sat down with
@knakamor from Vocence, a decentralised text-to-speech and voice inference subnet built on Bittensor.
We covered:
- What Vocence is in one sentence and why decentralised voice infrastructure matters
- Why the team chose to focus specifically on voice AI and the scale of the market opportunity ahead
- The core problems Vocence aims to solve that centralised TTS providers cannot
- How Vocence compares to platforms like ElevenLabs, PlayHT, and LMNT
- What gives Vocence a competitive moat and whether competing subnets could realistically emerge
- The subnet’s long-term vision beyond text-to-speech, including future plans for STT, STS, and broader voice intelligence infrastructure
- How Vocence fits into the wider Bittensor ecosystem and what makes voice a strong decentralised AI market - Why the subnet uses a winner-take-all incentive structure instead of proportional rewards
- How miners and validators compete to optimise speech quality, naturalness, controllability, and latency - The current state of the subnet, how mature the network is today, and what still needs to be built
- The team behind Vocence, the origins of the project, and whether a whitepaper is planned
- How the team sees voice AI evolving over the next 2-3 years
- Live community Q&A
If you're interested in decentralised AI, voice synthesis, speech infrastructure, Bittensor, or the future of open-source AI inference networks - this one's for you.
