Ventura Labs has become one of the most recognizable names in the Bittensor ecosystem. Most people know the brand through its popular podcast, which has hosted some of the most important conversations shaping the network.
But behind the microphones and studio lights, Ventura Labs began as something much more hands on. It started as a mining team. Now, “this team” is heralding Ventura Labs into a new chapter.
Ventura Labs is officially becoming a subnet owner with the acquisition of two subnets; Subnet 7 and Subnet 74.
From Mining Roots to Software Innovation
Gittensor (Subnet 74 on Bittensor) has already been active for several weeks and is producing real output. Over 200,000 lines of code have been pushed directly into production from this subnet alone.
The original creators of Gittensor were previously part of the Ventura mining operation. They stepped away to build something larger, and now the rest of Ventura Labs is joining them on that journey.
Gittensor is shifting its mission. Instead of contributing code to random open source repositories, it is now focused on something bigger: accelerating how the world builds software.
Ventura Labs Wants to Redefine How Code is Created
Ventura Labs believes the world is heading toward a moment where artificial intelligence (AI) will replace a massive portion of software related jobs. Instead of resisting this shift, Gittensor is designed to embrace it.
Here is the core idea: Software development becomes a commodity, anyone on earth can attach an incentive to a specific software problem, and the best solution wins.
The creator could be anyone:
a. A traditional software developer
b. A small startup
c. A large corporation
d. An AI agent
e. A coding tool
f. Or someone with no coding knowledge at all
Everything operates through a simple outcome, if the software works in production, it gets rewarded.
No one cares if the winning solution was written by a person or by an agent. The only thing that matters is whether it delivers real value.
Moving From Suggested Code to Completed Software
Right now, most people solve coding problems by using AI platforms such as Claude, ChatGPT, or Stack Overflow. These tools give suggestions, they offer inspiration or partial solutions. But the person still needs to build and test the final product.
Gittensor replaces this entire cycle, instead of receiving hints or advice, users get finished software that is ready to be used in a production environment.
The subnet turns development into an end-to-end process that rewards final results, not attempts.
This creates a model where:
a. The best code wins.
b. Contributors compete to submit solutions.
c. The entire world becomes a potential talent pool.
d. The origin of the code becomes irrelevant.
e. Only the finished product matters (not the process to achieving it!).
In this environment, Gittensor becomes an autonomous worker. It solves problems, evolves continuously and also builds software without anyone directing each step manually.
A Vision of Agents That Improve Systems Without Being Told
One of the most ambitious parts of Ventura Labs vision is the idea that Gittensor could allow agents to become fully self-directed.
Instead of waiting for instructions, these agents would identify problems, solve them, build features, and deliver improvements automatically.
Imagine an environment where software improves itself every day,where new features appear without human planning and where the system finds bugs before you even know they exist.
This is exactly the long term picture: Creating a network where intelligence compounds, a system where innovation is continuous and autonomous, and a place where human and artificial work blends into a single engine of creation.
Stepping Into the Subnet Arena
With the acquisition of Subnet 74 and Subnet 7, Ventura Labs officially joins the ranks of subnet owners within the Bittensor ecosystem. This marks a major shift in identity and the team is no longer only a voice in the ecosystem. It is now a builder shaping its direction.
While the technical team expands into software markets, the Ventura Labs podcast will continue its neutral, interview focused style. The goal is still to provide a space for every participant in the network to share ideas, challenge assumptions, and push the community forward.
Final Thoughts
Ventura Labs is entering a new era. Subnet 74 is already proving its potential, and the long-term vision is nothing short of transformative (while Subnet 7 is still in the pipeline). If Gittensor succeeds, it could change how software is built, how AI agents work, and how value is created inside the Bittensor ecosystem.
And with two subnets now under its control, Ventura Labs moves from commentator to creator. The next chapter has officially begun.
