Here's today's recap from Exploit Summit in Montreal. OTF STAGE • Jacob Steeves (@const_reborn) outlined Gamma tokens: a proposal for subnets to buy services from each other using part of their emissions. • @WSquires and @macrocrux of @MacrocosmosAI announced the iota SDK and Liquid Compute platform for training AI across distributed machines. • @micaelabazo of @metanova_labs reported that candidates from its Bittensor competitions had reached lab synthesis after further processing, and outlined plans for an ADME models competition. • @0xcarro of @TargonCompute reported more than 27,000 confidential workloads deployed this year and a $12M run rate. • @pbarbachowski of @DendriteHQ shared how miners break incentive mechanisms, and why the answer includes transparent scoring and ground truths miners cannot control. • @pamanseau of @KubeTEEAI put verifiable attestation at the center of confidential AI: evidence customers can check before trusting someone else's infrastructure. • Marcus Graichen (@mogmachine) of @taostats spoke about closing three subnets that weren't succeeding, and the human cost of those decisions. • Brien Colwell (@xcolwell) of @URnetwork made the case for an open, global internet as access becomes more dependent on where you live. • @0xcarro and @askyoav debated how fast Bittensor's protocol should change, weighing growth against the stability teams need to build. Moderated by @Nick_Hotz. • @jon_durbin of @chutes_ai presented Parallax and reported an 8B model running at about 60 tokens per second on a phone's CPU, without a GPU or NPU. RAO STAGE • Bittensor 101 with @TAOTemplar and @mcjkula of @learnbittensor followed the path from a subnet's scoring rules to miner rewards, including what happens when miners find a shortcut. • Jack Ai Leung (@haitzu) of @KhalaResearch brought the open-source discussion into robotics, arguing for open models and access to different hardware. • Cameron Fairchild (@KibibyteMe) of @LatentHoldings explained how multisig can require approvals from multiple signers, reducing reliance on a single key. • @shardiban of @oroagents showed how an 11-million-product catalog feeds fresh tasks and evaluation environments for shopping agents. • @herelle_jean of @chronollm announced plans to move from a 3B to a 16B baseline in the coming week, while testing for future information leaking into historical prediction tasks. • @sebyrubino challenged the familiar "faster and cheaper" pitch: start with the result your customer needs. • @will_mizu and Tom Blears of @Bitcast_network announced Subnet Summer and TAPE as applications using its subnet infrastructure. • @PKoellinger and @nashgambit of @DeSciClaims presented V1, which went live on September 27 after a month of mainnet testing, moving the project into live data production. • @AndorranAi of @SwarmSubnet introduced Sentinel, autonomous drones designed to patrol solar sites and report on their security. • @gavinzaentz of @LeadpoetAI showed miners competing to improve sales agents, with each round strengthening a shared baseline for others to build on. • @bobwold explained @EnigmaSN63’s challenge model: rewards build until a problem is solved, and winning solutions are published for others to use. • @sebyrubino and @josercaldera, moderated by @capradavis, debated token and equity: how much work belongs inside a company and how much miners and validators can take on. • Philippe Beaudoin (@PhilBeaudoin) explored how records of human and AI interactions could help us understand what makes groups cooperate and stay stable. We're back tomorrow from 9 AM for coffee and networking. Sessions on both stages begin at 10:30 AM, with Pitchtensor on OTF at 3 PM. All times are Montreal local time.
