How to change the world using Bittensor: 1. Write your own incentive mechanism 2. Use the outputs to create more, and help others create their own 3. Defeat corporate AI by building an intelligence network for the people, by the people
We are very excited to announce the largest raise in Bittensor history. As a Bittensor company, we have a commitment to return 100% of all revenues generated by @TargonCompute to the holders of SN4 alpha. Going into our fundraise, we only wanted to work with investors who truly…
Manifold has raised a $10.5M Series A to accelerate the growth of @TargonCompute
Always a pleasure chatting with Grant @VenturaLabs

How to scale compute more efficiently than OpenAI: 1. Create a globally distributed network of compute 2. Generate revenue via Targon.com 3. Return revenue to the globally distributed network of compute, offering 100% utilization to providers 4. Globally distributed…
Users asked for this model earlier today and the team got it deployed at lightning speed. Very proud of how quickly the entire @TargonCompute team has been moving recently
Qwen3-235B-A22B-2507 is live on both Targon and OpenRouter $0.12 / M input tokens $0.59 / M output tokens
Stargate is a highly inefficient build. As WSJ reports, OpenAI is now beginning to strike smaller deals for nearly as much capacity. These deals are still more inefficient than they should be (opaque financing rates, power constraints etc) Soon, these deals will flow through…
$62,070 (144.64τ) has been returned to SN4 alpha over the last 13 days Targon is setting the standard for what a sustainable subnet on Bittensor looks like
We have begun buying back SN4 alpha with revenue generated via the platform and will continue to do so with 100% of all Targon.com revenues $18,310 will be returned to SN4 holders within the next 24 hours
When she realizes you own zero SN4 alpha @TargonCompute
Self-interested individuals, operating in a free market, can unintentionally benefit the Targon ecosystem as a whole @TargonCompute
One of the most exciting updates in Targon history. Forcing miners to set ask prices will help us find the true spot clearing price for any machine For miners: the edge is ultimately the ability to drive down your cost basis without driving down the quality of your compute
Introducing Targon Order Book Today, we’re giving miners the ability to set “ask” prices for their H200s Every interval, Targon has ~$3,000 available to compensate miners. In today’s simple market, all miners are compensated pro rata for the machines they bring online — with no…
Thank you for having me on @SiamKidd and @MarkCreaser

Well said @neuromancer_t - the strongest subnets are building a sustainable economy. On Targon, our inference business directly funds miner compute capex - creating a self-reinforcing economic loop We are perfectly incentivized to return revenue to SN4 via token buybacks as it…

Returning 100% of Targon revenue to SN4 holders is the most efficient use of our capital as it ensures miners are compensated in a sustainable manner, and allows us to build the largest and most efficient compute market in the world
We have begun buying back SN4 alpha with revenue generated via the platform and will continue to do so with 100% of all Targon.com revenues $18,310 will be returned to SN4 holders within the next 24 hours
Hiring an Extremely Talented Inference Engineer We are a small team focused on engineering excellence. With @TargonCompute we have aggregated over 1,000 H200s and are now optimizing model inference for enterprise-grade latency and throughput As we begin serving the enterprise,…
As I watch this, I don't necessarily think Sam is an evil villain. He merely exists within an archaic power structure, where one company exerts an overwhelming amount of control over the future of a species-defining technology The people must have a say via @TargonCompute and…
New episode of Uncapped with @sama. Enjoy 🤗
Targon is introducing subscription pricing and custom enterprise solutions Also follow the new Targon account @TargonCompute !
Targon has been redesigned from the ground up with intentional UX—built for clarity, speed, and accessibility We will also be introducing subscription pricing along with white-glove enterprise solutions Coming soon...
Awesome! Working with Dippy to build out our enterprise inference solution has been extremely productive. It has forced us to become more efficient with the compute we use to serve their models, which allows us to retain more value within SN4. We are applying these learnings as…
Bittensor’s Targon SN4 is processing 6.8B+ tokens/day for the Dippy app! We’re excited to continue scaling our usage on the platform $TAO
Why is Targon Virtual Machine (TVM) so valuable? 1. Targon is fundamentally redefining the trust model for AI. Today, AWS and GCP dominate the compute market because of the perceived trust they’ve earned through contracts and SLAs. But this trust is centralized and fragile. With…
Awesome! Targon is honored to support you
results look great so far but I'm still holding my horses. we're training 7B models as we speak to make sure this thing scales nicely before proceeding so big thanks and shoutout to @manifoldlabs for these H200s! hopefully we're gonna get some more results in a week or two
Targon gives independent researchers access to frontier lab scale compute It doesn’t matter where in the world you are. If you are smart and ambitious, Targon gives you the tools to push AI forward and turn your dreams into reality
