Synth Ultra applications are open again. We’re opening one new miner slot each day for the next 20 days, welcoming more distinct forecasting models into our high-frequency competition. Applications are prioritised in arrival order. Apply once: your place in the queue carries forward until a slot becomes available. One operator, one slot. Each model must be distinct, and applicants need a registered UID on SN50. Full instructions: github.com/synthdataco/synth…

We’re preparing the next phase of the 404 3JS Competition. The goal is to bring in new miners while giving current miners a fresh 3JS challenge. The 3JS track is one of our longest-running competitions, driven by miner progress and demand for 3JS assets.

14 open models, one endpoint, every one of them running inside a hardware-attested TEE. That's the Chutes catalog today: Kimi K3 and GLM-5.2 with 1M context, DeepSeek V4 Flash, Qwen3.8-27B, Gemma 4 31B, and Nemotron-3-Nano from $0.0245 per million input tokens. The list changes often. Any OpenAI-compatible client works. Set the base URL to llm.chutes.ai/v1 and keep the rest of your code.

SWARM quarterly update to stakeholders. A year ago, SWARM started with a thesis: open competition on Bittensor builds better autonomy than a closed lab, and a physical lab turns that autonomy into products people pay for. The thesis now has customers. Two contracts signed in two months. Time to lock in. 🧵

Second buyback and burn done. $104k of SayGM alpha burnt, 20.3% of miner emissions offset. The road to 100% continues. saygm.com/buybacks

Talking Targon, Ep. 01 is now live. Bittensor co-founder Jacob Steeves aka @const_reborn joins us to break down eTAO, the upgrade that lets subnet owners decide how their emissions are split. We get into subnet economics, the guardrails against exploits, and what it unlocks for compute on Targon.

Humanoid Run Jump Phase 3 is officially in the books, with a winning score of 0.8245. Across three phases, miners have continued to push the same Unitree G1 humanoid to perform better on the same task: • Phase 1: 0.6750 • Phase 2: 0.7735 • Phase 3: 0.8245 Every phase used the same hidden benchmark tracks and open evaluation harness, with independent validators scoring each policy inside isolated sandboxes. And the competition is getting tighter. Just 0.0018 separated first and second place in Phase 3. Now, the Unitree Go2 LiDAR Maze Challenge is running on the same evaluation pipeline. This time, miners are training a high-level planner on top of a frozen locomotion policy, competing to navigate deterministic benchmark mazes. Submissions close 18 October. 🔗: nepher.ai/tournament Same evaluation standards, tougher competition, and better-performing robot policies with every phase.

Endure is live on mainnet, and the first week we’re reporting is in: seven rounds, Oct 4 to 10, with an average score of 95.5%. Scores climbed from Oct 4 to 6, then held just under that peak through Oct 10. Four rounds are too few to call it a plateau, and every new round adds to the picture. This week shows the loop working end-to-end for the network: forecasts published, outcomes arrived, and every one of the 420 values scored against what actually happened.

Please welcome Yorgos to Bitcast. Yorgos recently joined us to help lead the next phase of our creator intelligence - bringing some serious technical firepower with him. Ph.D. in Computer Science specialising in Graph ML. His research has been published in prestigious international conferences associated with organisations such as IEEE, ACM and SIAM, including work recognised among the best papers at the SIAM International Conference on Data Mining. More recently, his work on advanced multi-graph analysis was selected for presentation at Stanford, alongside graph research from teams at NVIDIA, Amazon and others working at the forefront of the field. He has also worked at Los Alamos National Laboratory, one of the US’s major scientific research institutions. So why does all of this matter for Bitcast? Social networks are graphs! Creators, audiences, conversations and communities form enormous interconnected networks. Understanding those relationships allows us to go far beyond follower counts and basic engagement metrics. Who actually influences who? How does information move between them? Who has real influence within a specific niche? And ultimately: which creators are most likely to deliver results for a particular campaign? Graph analysis has been a core part of Stitch3 from the beginning. Yorgos is now helping us push it further, applying advanced Graph ML to build improved ways of identifying influence, understanding communities and matching brands with the creators most likely to reach the right audience. We want to build the intelligence layer that makes creator marketing automated, scalable and more effective than ever before. Yorgos is going to be one of the technical powerhouses driving that forward. Welcome, Yorgos.

The community has spoken, and we have a winner for the 0.5 TAO Community Prize. This is Alpha Rush, a Tokyo-inspired endless runner built by CeagleDev using the 404 game generator. On Alpha Rush, players can choose between different characters, outfits and colourways while running to collect Alpha coins. Everything from the characters to the environments is built with procedural 3JS code using 404. Play Alpha Rush here: ceagledev.github.io/alpha-ru…

UR is live on mainnet on SN25! - Our 100k+ network providers are being transitioned to Bittensor miners - Our validator is active, setting weights and verifying traffic - It's permissionless for anyone to become a miner or validator - Launch of Network Capacity Reserve (more info below) After many weeks of hard work and countless hours spent to get here, we are proud of this milestone and appreciate all your patience on the journey The job is far from complete but this is a big step forward by moving our infrastructure onchain. The core mission is very important to us and it's critical we build with intention, while properly testing these new changes UR is building the privacy network for everyone and we are excited to be building this alongside the Bittensor community Together we will help empower people across the world to have privacy online

This Null Consensus change is huge. From now on, whoever stakes the most has the final say,there’s no longer any check and balance between validators.

Revenue from @CookingTao_ crossed $1000 milestone within beta v2 phase. > run miners in bittensor subnets with few clicks. > everything managed and powered by SN122. total revenue: $1,064.84 this month only: $505.44 buyback tested: $17.69 worth of alpha end of v2 phase, real buyback gets automated from platfrom.
