This is part of our series on a year of Bittensor experience, leading up to our anniversary at the 13th of July. After discussing miner archetypes we now discuss incentive landscapes, before moving on to validator design. After discussing the Dirac, the flat and a hybrid incentive landscape, we try Read more…
This is part of our series on a year of Bittensor experience, leading up to our anniversary at the 13th of July. After discussing the Dirac landscape and at its opposite, the flat incentive landscape, we now look at what happens if you take the bad features of each of Read more…

In this post, we revisit model comparison metrics. Should we compare sample-by-sample, or group several samples together? Or does it make more sense to “pack” samples (i.e. join multiple samples with an EOS token in between)? Does length matter? And what’s up with these “pages” in the dataset? TL;DR A Read more…
In the previous post on incentive we described how loss values are used to score models against each other, and how the relative standing between models changes over time due to decaying advantage. From that conceptual idea a few steps are needed to get to a ranking of models and Read more…
