![[OPINION] Bittensor Is Crypto’s Last Great Hope](https://taodaily.io/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/covenant-72B-1-678x381.png)
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 […]
What if training frontier-scale AI models didn’t require hyperscale data centers? What if thousands of GPUs (Graphics Processing Units) connected only through the open internet could collectively train a model rivaling those built inside tightly […]
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 […]
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 […]
For a long time, “Decentralized AI Training” was viewed as a science experiment, cool in theory but impossible in practice. The narrative was simple: “You can’t train massive AI models across the internet. It’s too […]
For a long time, “open-source AI” has meant something very specific. The weights are public, but everything that matters happens elsewhere. Training decisions, data pipelines, and refinement processes remain locked inside centralized teams and private […]
SUMMARY: Covenant Labs delivered the 17th episode of TGIF at the NeurIPS conference in San Diego, highlighting major progress across Templar, Basilica and the broader Covenant 72B initiative. The brief emphasized how Templar unlocks decentralized […]
SUMMARY: In a TGIF community brief held on October 24, Covenant Labs shared major progress across their full AI pipeline on Bittensor. Templar continues to lead decentralized pretraining, outperforming centralized baselines and scaling the largest […]
Covenant AI has announced a major milestone with the launch of Covenant72B, its first large-scale 72-billion parameter decentralized AI training run. The initiative represents a leap forward for both the team and the broader vision […]
