At the start of 2026, the crypto industry feels like it’s searching for direction. The energy from the last cycle has cooled, and conversations that once revolved around tokens and protocols are now dominated by […]
For years, the narrative around artificial intelligence has been dominated by a simple assumption: only hyperscalers can train large AI models. The logic seemed airtight with massive GPU clusters, proprietary infrastructure, and tens of billions […]
This week’s community brief from Covenant AI, streamed from Nairobi, was less about optics and more about execution. TGIF #27 focused on infrastructure maturity, economic realism, and a recurring theme across the Bittensor ecosystem: build […]
SUMMARY: Covenant Labs shared a weekly update covering progress across Templar (Subnet 3), Grail (Subnet 81), and Basilica (Subnet 39), highlighting advances in decentralized AI training and inference on Bittensor. Templar is nearing completion of […]
Covenant AI’s latest TGIF session covered major progress across its three core efforts: Templar, Basilica, and Grail. The session’s overall takeaway was that decentralized AI training is moving faster than most people expected, and the […]
Covenant AI just released PULSE (Patch Updates via Lossless Sparse Encoding), a technique that slashes bandwidth for weight synchronization in decentralized reinforcement learning (RL) by 100×+, while staying completely lossless (bit-identical reconstruction, SHA-256 verified on […]
Basilica (Bittensor subnet 39), a subnet under the Covenant ecosystem, has launched a sandbox container for OpenClaw agents. The goal is to run powerful self-hosted AI agents without giving them full access to your machine […]
When AI companies like OpenAI or Anthropic build models like ChatGPT or Claude, they don’t just train the model once and ship it. They spend months doing something called “post-training”, teaching the model to actually […]
Templar, Bittensor Subnet 3, has completed pre-training for Covenant72B, a 72-billion-parameter language model. This is the largest frontier-scale model ever trained in a fully permissionless and decentralized setting. The run was coordinated across a global […]
By: CryptoZPunisher Templar on Bittensor: when the impossible becomes possible On Bittensor, everything is possible. And if there were one concrete proof, Templar is probably among the most striking. The Templar team has just published […]
