Thesis14 Jul 2025Why DeAI matters across the AI stack: seven layers from incentives to computeMaps seven layers where decentralization matters for AI: open innovation incentives, verifiable inference, decentralized training, private MPC compute, GPU networks, user-owned models and onchain agent payments. Also frames VLAs as lacking a LangChain-style framework that Codec is building.Explainer22 May 2025Bittensor explained: subnets, Yuma Consensus and the leading subnetsLong explainer on Bittensor as a decentralized marketplace for digital commodities: miners and validators compete in subnets, Yuma Consensus distributes TAO emissions, and the post lists leading subnets across compute, training, inference and prediction.Thesis16 May 2025Main TAO alpha token holdings and why Bittensor is a key narrativeLists his main subnet alpha token holdings and argues TAO is an ecosystem of AI infra projects with flywheel tokenomics. Points to subnet tokens coming to Solana via Sturdy, a Bittensor EVM and dTAO as under-understood catalysts.

16 Jun 2025DeAI proof points: usage stats across compute, storage and training networksArgues the battle is for open AI infrastructure and lists reported usage figures from decentralized compute, storage and training networks as proof DeAI is already working.DataAIDePIN

03 Jun 2025Templar I, Chutes and Gradients: the full agent lifecycle on BittensorDescribes how Templar I, a 1.2B LLM trained permissionlessly on a Bittensor subnet, can be served on Chutes and instruction-finetuned via Gradients, giving a full agent lifecycle on Bittensor. Notes no-code agents can be built with squad.ai.ExplainerAI

30 May 2025No-code research agent built on Bittensor with Chutes and DeepSeekBuilt a research agent on Bittensor in a day without code, powered by Chutes and running DeepSeek, noting it is a work in progress that still makes errors. May migrate to the Templar model; no token is planned.Build logAITooling

28 May 2025Templar: first permissionless 1.2B LLM training run on Bittensor SN3Explains how Templar's Gauntlet trained a 1.2B LLM permissionlessly: miners train every 84 seconds, a two-phase evaluation scores loss reduction, and only the top 15 contributions per round are applied. Benchmarks include HellaSwag 51.0%, PIQA 71.4% and ARC-E 59.2%.ExplainerAI
