Bittensor’s Subnet 9 is trying to flip that script with a new architecture called $IOTA, short for Incentivised Orchestrated Training Architecture, which splits massive AI models across multiple machines so no single participant needs to hold the entire thing in memory. From winner-takes-all to collective assembly line Previous versions of SN9 operated on a competitive model. Miners essentially raced each other, and only top performers earned rewards. By August 2024, that…
