It looks like Bittensor is getting more to realisation that the chain never can be really decentralised
i was attacked heavily for this take a few months back, incentives chain cant be decentralised and an agentic senate is only possible way to run this (unless Jacob managing himself)
Decentralisation is not a necessity either, growth + striving for permissionless access in the extend possible is far more important

JUST IN: Robots get Solana wallets.

Microsoft just changed the game 🤯
They've open-sourced bitnet.cpp, a 1-bit LLM inference framework.
It let's you run 100B parameter models on your local CPU without GPUs.
- 6.17x faster inference
- 82.2% less energy on CPUs
100% Open Source.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
bitnet.cpp was open-sourced by Microsoft in Oct 2024 (not recently). Docs confirm up to 6.17x speedup/82.2% less energy on x86 CPUs for supported models (official ~2B, community to ~8B); 100B claims are research benchmarks on non-public/synthetic setups.

NEW PARTNERSHIP
We are pleased to announce our newest partnership with a US based BaaS Sponsor Bank. We are under NDA so we cannot announce the name but let us explain what it is and what it means for us going forward.
A sponsor bank is a chartered, FDIC-insured bank that lets fintechs and other Financial Institutions offer accounts, cards, or payments services through its charter. Our partner targets tech companies, especially those in high-growth sectors.
ONE BECOMES MANY
Yanez works on behalf of the bank to test the screening systems of its sponsored fintechs.
Translation: every fintech the bank sponsors is then a potential client for Yanez. So the revenue potential with just this one client is enormous, with a potential for leading to multiple contracts.
And this is just one sponsor bank of many. Each bank is a gateway that serves many fintechs, and each of those can become a client for us. Sponsor banks are scarce, the BaaS market is large. Our expansion is to add sponsor banks one at a time, with each one opening a pipeline of fintech clients.
FIRST FINTECH CLIENT
In fact, we are also pleased to announce our first paying fintech client under this bank. A mobile remittance app with coverage from several Western countries, with payouts in many destinations including South Asia and Africa.

Just to be clear, this old sir had a subnet in $TAO Bittensor. SN90.
It was one of the biggest failures we’ve ever seen. He failed spectacularly in every possible way.
In the end, he sold the emissions he had received.
