OAPN #3 — Templar Merge

from Car: All Podcasts Hosted by Car

In OAPN #3, we recap the latest Bittensor drama around Covenant and the collapse of Templar’s position in the network. Some of that distributed training talent has since joined OpenAgents, helping drive the next phase of growth for the Pylon network. Thank you and welcome. In this episode, we cover Pylon’s recent growth spurt, how compute mining works, next week’s distributed training run paying contributors in bitcoin, and one of our investors’ favorite slides from the deck comparing OpenAI’s 2 GW of compute with the much larger pool of stranded consumer compute OpenAgents aims to connect and pay. We also get into Jason’s 200x TAO prediction, the Martin Casado and Chamath clip that perfectly captures the OpenAgents business model, why decentralized networks need real stewardship and aligned incentives, our return to Stacker News, and why everything eventually comes home to Bitcoin.
