What Is Bittensor and the TAO Token (TAO)?

Bittensor is a decentralized network aimed to connect machine learning models and build to permissionless AI. Bittensor operates using subnets, which are essentially networks within the network focused on specific tasks or types of AI computations. These subnets can be thought of as specialized segments where different AI models or services can be developed, tested, and run. Participants can either be subnet miners (who run AI models) or subnet validators (who ensure the quality and relevance of the models). Bittensor will soon launch smart contracts and will benefit from compounding network effects akin to other L1s like Ethereum and Solana, opening the door for new onchain use cases (i.e. DeFi, cross-subnet interop) and ultimately driving greater ecosystem lock-in.
