  1. TGIFT : Building the Future of Open AI with Subnets

    10/08/2023

    TGIFT : Building the Future of Open AI with Subnets

    This TGIFT discusses the long term plans for Bittensor and the OpenTensor Foundation to decentralize AI development through the creation of subnets. The founders explain how currently most development is centralized within the foundation, but they plan to allow external teams to create their own subnets focused on specific AI modalities like image recognition, coding assistance, and time series prediction. This will allow for more competition in AI development at different levels. The meeting goes over how teams can register their own subnets, attract validators to support their work, and earn emission rewards for producing valuable models. It provides insight into how the participants envision subnets transforming the foundation into more of a coordinating body that helps various groups collaborate to advance open source AI. Listeners will gain understanding of an important shift that could greatly expand the decentralized development of advanced machine learning.

  2. TGIFT | Emissions & Advancing Decentralization

    TGIFT | Emissions & Advancing Decentralization

    This TGIFT addressed a major issue that occurred on the Bittensor network over the past few weeks where a small group was able to gain control of over 95% of the network's mining power. The speakers discussed what happened, how the network became saturated, and the two main leaks in the incentive mechanism that allowed this to happen - an exploit of the proof-of-work registration process and an improved miner that could respond to queries much faster than others. They explained the fixes they are implementing, such as removing proof-of-work registration and improving the data and query systems to prevent caching exploits. A key point is that Bittensor plans to introduce more decentralization through a DAO where the community can vote on emission adjustments and other decisions going forward.

    How Bittensor Saves Humanity From Runaway AI

    This episode of The Block Runner podcast discusses how Bittensor is working to ensure AI is developed and used safely and for the benefit of all humanity. The founders explain their view that concentrating AI power into the hands of a few could pose risks, and that a decentralized approach using blockchain could help prevent potential issues. However, they also acknowledge the challenges of an entirely open system, such as the risk of bad actors misusing the technology. The conversation explores both sides of this issue and what Bittensor is doing with their decentralized AI platform to address concerns around the control and oversight of advanced artificial intelligence.

    TGIFT | Bittensor Subnet & Emissions Changes

    This TGIFT discusses concerns about who has access to the latest AI technologies from companies like Anthropic and OpenAI. The speakers note that while the technologies seem incredible, there is an "inside group" of individuals connected to companies and projects funded by Y Combinator who get preferential access. They discuss how regulations are tightening around AI usage, creating an "in group and out group" with different levels of access. The speakers from Bittensor explain how their goal is to scale inference so they can maximize access to their state-of-the-art language models through their Prompt interface, though they have not heavily marketed it yet. The conversation touches on the business models of AI companies running at a loss currently and strategies to scale up growth.

    Where Crypto and AI Meet | Featuring Akash, Bittensor, Gensyn & DCG

    This conversation features the founders and engineers behind several decentralized AI protocols discussing their visions and technologies. Robert Myers (Caro), Senior Engineer at Bittensor, discusses Bittensor, which enables AI models to learn from each other using techniques like distillation and mixtures of experts. Greg from Akash Network describes their open marketplace for cloud computing resources, focusing on providing access to scarce GPUs through a decentralized secondary market. Harry Grieve talks about GenSyn, their deep learning computation protocol focused entirely on training large neural networks in a distributed manner. The speakers dive into technical details while also sharing their perspectives on how decentralized protocols can help advance AI by making powerful resources more accessible and models able to continuously learn from one another. It provides insights into the cutting edge of where cryptocurrency and artificial intelligence technologies intersect.

    The Intersection of AI and Crypto | CoinDesk's Money Reimagined | Bittensor

    In the last few months, artificial intelligence (AI) has grown exponentially and rapidly, raising concerns over its safety and the adverse consequences it may have on society if it is not addressed. However, the application of artificial intelligence in the crypto space has many exciting advantages. With artificial intelligence, trading algorithms can analyze vast amounts of data and make informed decisions about buying and selling cryptocurrencies. Cryptocurrency fraud can be detected and prevented using artificial intelligence. Blockchain networks can be optimized using artificial intelligence. Furthermore, AI can even enhance the privacy and security of cryptocurrency transactions. So what is all the fuss about if AI can bring all this good? There are potential drawbacks and negative aspects to consider. Some of the main negatives of AI include job displacement, bias and discrimination, privacy concerns, dependence and overreliance, ethical concerns, and lack of transparency and regulation. On this episode of “Money Reimagined,” to help unpack this important topic of AI ownership and distribution, Michael Casey and Sheila Warren speak to Jacob Steeves, founder of Bittensor, an open-source protocol that powers a decentralized, blockchain-based machine learning network. Casey jumps right into the discussion of the controversial op-ed of Eliezer Yudkowsky, author, founder, and leading thinker in the AI space, and its impact on the AI community. On this show Michael and Sheila discuss: • Connective threads of drama. 2:38 • What happens when you know that you’re right? 4:54 • The rise of Ai and the potential for regulation. 5:29 • How do we establish a decentralized world? 7:15 • What is the difference between absolute and extreme thinking? 9:27 • Ethical and intellectual perspectives. 10:50 • The core thesis of the paper. 14:26 • The core premise of Bittensor.io. 15:33 • The governance question around open AI. 19.03 • The problem with Web 3.0. 25:28 • Capitalism vs. Governance. 28:50 • The bias of people who get into cryptocurrency. 33:47 • The positive vision of AI. 35:35 • Protecting the status quo vs. imperialism. 38:19

    TGIFT | The Dawn of Decentralized AI | Bittensor

    This TGIFT discusses the launch of a new decentralized AI network called Bittensor. The speakers discuss their vision for an open and censorship-resistant AI system that is not controlled by any single entity. They hope Bittensor can help build a "neural economy" where applications can access AI through a simple API, without relying on any single provider. The speakers describe how validators on the network will run complex machine learning models, and how developers can easily build apps that tap into a diverse range of models. They share some examples built during a upcoming week-long coding event. There is an energetic discussion about ensuring the network remains open for all and helps progress AI in an inclusive way.
