S2E2 - Omega Focus w/ Parshant from Omega Labs
Parshant from Omega Labs joins the podcast for the second time to discuss their new app, Omega Focus. With the most downloaded dataset on huggingface between 10-100 million rows, this team is no stranger to delivering value to the open source community and they've hit another home run by enabling anyone to monetize their daily work by contributing to training artificial intelligence. Parshant is a mench and we are so lucky to have innovative builders like him in Bittensor. As they say at Omega, "Be, and it becomes..." https://focus.omega.inc/ https://x.com/parshantdeep https://x.com/omegalabsai https://omega-labs.ai/ https://taostats.io/validators/bittensor-guru-podcast/ https://bittensor.guru

Episode 36 - Subnet 20 BitAgent w/ Frank from Rizzo Validator
Frank has been a force for good in the Bittensor ecosystem for a long time and brings a track record of business development and entrepreneurial success with the Rizzo Validator and Subnet 20 BitAgent to our project. I relish any chance I get to mix it up with a fellow validator and this conversation was no exception. Tune in for a wide ranging conversation between Frank and I. Thanks for listening! https://x.com/FrankRizz07 https://roguetensor.com/bitagent/demos https://rizzo.network/ https://taostats.io/validators/bittensor-guru-podcast/ https://bittensor.guru

Episode 35 - Subnet 12 Compute Horde w/ Rhef
With Subnet 12 - Compute Horde recently eclipsing 1000 GPUs and breaking all known limits of subnet design, Rhef and his team are inviting miners into a whole new architecture with multiple GPUs, on-demand requisitioning, a la carte HuggingFace model hosting and custom front ends for user interaction. This episode is best consumed through video as there are a couple screen sharing demos. Link below. Don't miss Rhef's Bittensor network dashboards either. Enjoy! https://x.com/KeithSingery/status/1799588449462128786 https://grafana.bactensor.io/dashboards https://facilitator.computehorde.io https://github.com/backend-developers-ltd/ComputeHorde https://taostats.io/validators/bittensor-guru-podcast/ https://bittensor.guru

Episode 34 - S10 Sturdy w/ Sam Forman
Sam Forman from Sturdy joins the Bittensor Guru to discuss Subnet 10. Sturdy uses their subnet as a crowdsourced yield optimization engine to power their lending protocol, setting a new standard for decentralization of financial intelligence. Fresh of a major upgrade to their reward mechanism, Sam takes us through how he uses Bittensor's incentivization to deliver top returns to Sturdy's users. https://x.com/pgpsam https://x.com/SturdyFinance https://sturdy.finance https://taostats.io/validators/bittensor-guru-podcast/ https://bittensor.guru

Episode 33 - Subnet 5 OpenKaito with YZ from Kaito.ai
YZ joins me to describe how he and the talented team from Kaito are working to create a decentralized version of their popular subscription service for indexing/searching content across many web3 platforms with Bittensor's Subnet 5. With a couple months on mainnet, a healthy portion of the emissions from validators and a worthy objective relevant to nearly anyone who seeks to get a view from outside their personal feed, this one subnet to keep an eye on. https://www.kaito.ai/ https://github.com/OpenKaito/openkaito https://taostats.io/validators/bittensor-guru-podcast/ https://bittensor.guru

Episode 31 - Subnet 11 Dippy.ai with Impel
Angad and Akshat join the pod from the team at Impel which recently launched on Bittensor's Subnet 11 to incentivize decentralized creation of roleplay models for their app Dippy.ai. Get to know the team, the killer pedigree and their bold objective of becoming the open source leaders in roleplaying LLMs. Video link below. https://x.com/KeithSingery/status/1790128752522858577 https://www.tryimpel.com/ https://twitter.com/impel_ai https://twitter.com/dippy_ai https://www.dippy.ai/ https://taostats.io/validators/bittensor-guru-podcast/ https://bittensor.guru

Episode 30 - Subnet 33 Conversation Genome Project w/ David Fields
The Conversation Genome Project by Afterparty represents an evolution of subnet planning, design and execution. With months on testnet under their belt, a capable and experienced team leading their development and a revolutionary approach to incentivizing intelligence, David Fields and team are poised to democratize access to personalized AI using Bittensor. https://conversations.xyz https://twitter.com/conversationgen https://twitter.com/DavFields https://github.com/afterpartyai/bittensor-conversation-genome-project https://taostats.io/validators/bittensor-guru-podcast/ https://bittensor.guru

Episode 29 - Subnet 7 Subvortex
The Subvortex team joins the Bittensor Guru to share how they've increased network decentralization by using the incentivize mechanism on their subnet to encourage miners to run optimal subtensor nodes all over the world. With nodes in more than 70 countries and low latency/high redundancy along with a load balancer, they've effectively eliminated the need to run an individually operated subtensor node. Great team here and highly creative use of a subnet slot.
