Opentensor Foundation

Bittensor Novelty Search is a weekly community call Hosted by Jacob Robert Steeves in the Bittensor Discord This week we're talking with Subnet 68 NOVA / How to transition subnet submissions into production drug candidates, // Expanding the model from small molecules into biologics, /// New nanobody mechanism. Featuring the team from SN68 Metanova Labs // Micaela Bazo, Brayden Miller, Pedro Penna & Amanda Casadei Join us Thursday :: 9PM UTC | 5PM EDT. Live via Bittensor Discord #SN68

Kimi K2.6 by @Kimi_Moonshot is now live on Chutes. Moonshot's new 1T parameter flagship scored 54.0 on HLE-Full with tools, ahead of GPT-5.4 (52.1), Claude Opus 4.6 (53.0), and Gemini 3.1 Pro (51.4). This matters. For months the closed frontier has owned the agentic leaderboard. Today, a model you can download just overtook it. Modified MIT license. Weights live on Hugging Face. It also leads on: - SWE-Bench Pro: 58.6 (ahead of GPT-5.4, Claude Opus 4.6, and Gemini 3.1 Pro) - DeepSearchQA f1: 92.5 (next closest is Claude at 91.3) - BrowseComp with Agent Swarm: 86.3 (up from K2.5's 78.4) - Claw Eval pass@3: 80.9 (ahead of GPT-5.4's 78.4) Past the scores, the bigger shift. K2.6 scales Agent Swarm to 300 sub-agents running 4,000 coordinated steps in a single autonomous run. Hand it a task and it decomposes the work across specialized subagents, runs them in parallel, and returns full outputs without looping a human in between. On Chutes, it runs inside a TEE. Trusted Execution Environments give K2.6 a hardware-level privacy layer. The GPU operators serving the model can't see your prompts or outputs. Confidential compute on a decentralized GPU network. $0.95 input / $4.00 output per million tokens. Link in comments.

🏆 Incredibly proud of how far we’ve come! I remember when we were pushing in a direction we thought was right, but having the humility to reach out to the Opentensor Foundation team and ask what the network actually needs changed everything. That pivot led us to Proven, and seeing Theo Justin Amantha and Roderich Cavine Chow execute on that vision with such intensity has been the highlight of this journey. We’ve moved from a "what if" to a #1 ranking, but we’re just getting started. Stay tuned, because Proven is about to redefine software verification.

We think you should know exactly who's shipping your inference. No CEO. No board. No single person who can shut anything down. Ten contributors. A smart contract that pays staking rewards to team members. No one controls the money, the code, or the direction alone. Jon Durbin, Backend. Florian, Backend + Research. Built Chutes Search. Kyle, Backend. Built our TEE infrastructure. Sirouk (Chris), Backend. Performance and growth. Veight (Vince), Frontend. Everything you see on chutes.ai. Algowary (Timon), Sales & Customer Success. Fezicles, Marketing & Community. Rykorb, Technical Staff. Cxmplex, Backend. Vonkaiser, Technical Staff. 100 billion+ tokens a day. One of the largest open source inference platforms in the world. A team that fits in a single video call. Now you know. X handles in the comments.

You charge $15/mo for your AI app. Your average user costs you $2 in inference. Your power user costs you $12. You've got three bad options and one that changes the math entirely. Cap usage. Power users hit the wall mid-task and churn. Charge per token. Users get bill anxiety and stop using the product. Or let users bring their own compute budget. Sign in with Chutes lets your users authenticate with their Chutes account. Your app calls a model. Their account covers the inference cost. You set your price based on what your product is worth to customers, independent of how many tokens they burn. And every user who signs up through your app creates a Chutes account on our side. You grow your user base. We grow ours. SDK with setup wizard: https://lnkd.in/eKtjq5jS https://lnkd.in/eciCdzbe
