Basilica's first public subnet partnership since the architecture overhaul. Gradients is running RL evaluations on basilica compute infrastructure. The model is symbiotic: subnets help stress-test and improve Basilica's infrastructure, and Basilica provides compute at

Basilica now has one-click deploys with native TAO deposits. No CLI, no terminal setup. Select an agent, fund from your substrate wallet, deployed in under a minute. The agent deployment layer for the Bittensor ecosystem is taking shape.

Templar trains the models. Grail teaches them judgment. Basilica gives them somewhere to run. This Friday, Sam talks through the agent deployment infrastructure that connects the full Covenant pipeline, from training to production.

Grail's research is getting a proper technical audience. Yannic Kilcher 🇸🇨's reading group has over 20,000 members doing regular deep-dives into new ML work. If you want to hear the full story behind the 100x bandwidth reduction that makes decentralized RL viable, this is a good place

Permissionless infrastructure means a builder in Nairobi has the same access as a builder in San Francisco. We're looking well beyond Silicon Valley for the next generation of Bittensor subnet owners, miners, and validators. Distributed State will be there alongside

Grail's PULSE paper was presented at Yannic Kilcher 🇸🇨's Saturday paper discussion this weekend. Over 20,000 ML researchers and practitioners in that community, engaging with the research on its technical merits. Erfan Miahi includes the presentation slides in the post below. Great

This got rescheduled to Thursday at 11 AM CET. Distributed State joins Hellas to discuss training-first coordination versus deterministic inference: where the two approaches diverge, what the tradeoffs look like in practice, and what real adoption paths exist for

In case you missed it, here's a change to catch up on this week's TGIF from across the covenant ecosystem!

Detailed analysis from Nick Carpinito and the Blockworks Research team covering Covenant AI's distributed training approach. Appreciate the attention to the technical fundamentals.

Next Tuesday Distributed State is in Nairobi, Kenya. Not on a panel, not giving a keynote. He'll be in the room for four hours at the HackQuest x Openτensor Foundaτion Subnet Ideathon at Sankalp Forum, working directly with teams as they design and compete to build subnet applications on

🚨 Going Live In 30 Mins riverside.com/studio/alpha-h… With covenant, Distributed State and Hellas AI founders statusfailed and George we're discussing: - The personal frustrations and insights that pulled each team into this space - How their architectures actually work and

Today on TGIF, Distributed State checks in on all the orders. He'll walk us through the new incentive mechanism on basilica, and give us an early look at what the templar team has been building.

The TGIF 26 recap is live. Distributed State covers Covenant72B post-training, templar Crusades pushing MFU from 30% to 66%, grail after Erfan Miahi's PULSE presentation, and basilica launching one-click OpenClaw🦞 with 100+ paying users. He ends with why he sees Covenant

Our founder Distributed State has said that who gets to build AI models is the defining question of this generation. To show how much he means it, he's in Nairobi for the HackQuest x Openτensor Foundaτion Subnet Ideathon at Sankalp Forum, working alongside teams to help shape their

Registration for the Openτensor Foundaτion x HackQuest Subnet Ideathon closes in less than 48 hours. Got a great subnet idea? Submit your design proposal and short explainer. Seven teams advance to Round 2 with basilica compute credits. $18K prize pool, 1,000 TAO from

September 28-29 in Montreal: Exploit Summit brings together builders working on the hardest problem in decentralized AI: making incentivized compute actually work at scale. Distributed State is speaking and is joined by an all-star cast of subnet owners. Two days of talks,

Weekly roundup from Distributed State, live from Nairobi. Catch up on what's moving across the Covenant ecosystem in a few hours.
