About Bittensor
Bittensor (TAO) is a decentralized machine-learning network launched in 2021 by Jacob Steeves and Ala Shaabana. The network rewards participants who run useful AI models — for tasks such as text generation, image generation, and embeddings — with the native TAO token. Models are scored against each other through a peer-to-peer evaluation mechanism, so reward distribution is determined by the quality of contributions rather than by a centralized authority.
Bittensor is structured as a network of specialised subnets, each focused on a particular machine-learning task. Within each subnet, miners run models that respond to queries from validators, who score the responses and weight rewards accordingly. TAO has a Bitcoin-style fixed maximum supply of 21 million and a similar halving-based emission schedule, with new TAO emitted to subnets, miners, validators, and subnet owners through the on-chain Yuma consensus.
Bittensor's ecosystem is built around a growing set of subnets that cover language models, vision models, prediction markets, scraping, finetuning, and related AI services, plus tooling such as the Taostats explorer, wallets, and validator infrastructure. The Opentensor Foundation supports research and ecosystem development, while community-built dApps build products on top of subnet outputs.
