Bittensor Endgame Summit Kicks Off in Austin with $10K Hackathon

Masa has partnered with InferiumAI to integrate trusted X data into live AI inference. The collaboration leverages Masa's TEE-secured API to provide: - Real-time, verifiable X data access - Enhanced market and trading agent capabilities - Context-aware insights with grounded outputs - Full traceability through Inferium's Proof-of-Inference The integration aims to streamline the path from data to decision-making in one seamless solution. Developers can start exploring the capabilities using Masa's free X data search tool.

Masa is developing a decentralized AI data ecosystem centered around Subnet 42, a real-time data processing network. Key features include: - Free/affordable real-time data streams for developers (vs. thousands in traditional costs) - Enterprise-grade data pipeline with collection, cleaning, and vector storage - Integration with DeFi, market intelligence, and community automation - Agent Arena (SN59) where AI agents compete for rewards - TAOCAT AI agent success case with 120k+ community The $MASA token will serve as the ecosystem's utility token, with staking coming soon for miners. The platform aims to democratize AI development by making quality data accessible while fairly compensating data contributors.

Bittensor's Subnet 44 (Score) has implemented significant validation upgrades, transitioning from VLM and API-based evaluation to a local CLIP + homography framework. Key improvements include: - 50x increase in frame validation (2 to 100 frames) - 4x cost reduction through open-source implementation - Enhanced precision in scene selection - Processing of 380,000 out of targeted 500,000 video minutes The upgrade strengthens SN44's position in sports analytics, particularly for football game state recognition. Community leaders @webuildscore demonstrated these improvements during yesterday's Novelty Search call. [Watch the demo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFtWDOwmmeU)

Masa has been appointed to the CreatorBid TAO Council, a decentralized group focused on advancing AI innovation on the Bittensor network. The company has launched a full-stack, real-time Data Platform for AI on Bittensor (SN42) with these key features: - No development skills required - Zero setup process - Immediate access to AI-ready data This follows Masa's earlier milestone as the first subnet to launch a live token ($MASA) on Bittensor, featuring a dual-token reward system with $TAO. The platform aims to democratize access to high-quality AI data across the Bittensor ecosystem.
