TAO Stats

Highlights of the Week

🔥 Dippy’s Google x Bittensor event in Toronto, which featured talks from Joseph Jacks, Mog, Angad himself, and many others, stole the spotlight this week. Huge shoutout to the Dippy team and Angad for organizing this high-signal event! It’s amazing to see these community sponsored initiatives begin to popup across the world. Be sure to follow Angad, as he will be dropping all of the recorded talks soon.

🔥 Grayscale adjusted their Decentralized AI Fund, increasing the TAO allocation from 2.6% to 29.55%.

🔥 Bittaudio, a subnet for AI generated music, has relaunched on SN50.
Validators initiate the process by sending encrypted, signed text-to-music (TTM) prompts to miners, who decrypt, verify, and process these requests using advanced TTM models to generate audio. Miners then return encrypted, signed results to validators, who evaluate the quality of the generated music and distribute rewards based on output quality.

🔥 Compute Subnet by the Datura team has been registered on SN51. Compute Subnet is a peer-to-peer GPU rental marketplace, connecting miners who contribute GPU resources with users who need computational power.

🔥 BitMind released their Deepfake Detection Arena (DFD-Arena), a benchmark for AI-generated image detection. This framework addresses the critical shortage of datasets for evaluating systems that distinguish between real and AI-generated images across a broad spectrum of everyday scenarios.

🔥 Macrocosmos unveiled a new dashboard for SN25, showcasing various productivity metrics and presenting a clean new interface.
