Chutes is just a hosted AI service not real decentralized compute. It runs simple language models on cloud servers like AWS or Hetzner, not on its own network. No privacy, no real training, nothing permanent. It’s basically a cloud-based AI API with a leaderboard. That’s not game-changing

@TAOTemplar @OpenRouterAI Chutes and Targon are setting the stage for a decentralized revolution! Nearly half of DeepSeek traffic is no small feat, especially with that sweet zero-cost inference. These subnets are redefining AI efficiency and accessibility. The future is now, friend!

Rayon Labs is leading the deAI race by dominating Bittensor’s infrastructure—with Chutes powering cheap, serverless inference, Gradients opening up collaborative AI training, and Nineteen scaling decentralized content generation. These three subnets aren’t just tech demos—they’re drawing over one-third of all $TAO emissions, a clear sign of real-world traction and validator interest. Chutes’ rapid growth reflects relentless demand for affordable, resilient AI compute, while Gradients’ explosive adoption shows both devs and non-coders want in on LLM training. Nineteen’s surge proves decentralized inference is more than a narrative—it’s live and scaling. Rayon’s suite is the benchmark for utility and emissions, cementing Bittensor’s moat as the deAI network to watch. Want the full breakdown, market impact, and TAO’s positioning?

The future of AI isn't just chatbots — it's visual. Nineteen lets anyone create AI images + text, fully decentralized, free, and live today. Here’s why image generation matters — and how Nineteen is leading 🧵 1. What is it? • Real-time decentralized AI generation (images + LLM text) • Powered by DSIS (decentralized validator-miner scoring) • Public playground (https://t.co/ZGTwWLmDcg), free API access • No API keys, no usage fees 2. What Nineteen Does + Why It Matters • Generate AI images, avatars, and text completions • Inpainting, upscaling, prompt-to-image tools • Fully decentralized infrastructure (miners + validators) • Image generation tests model intelligence and composition • Enables human scoring for DSIS rewards • Unlocks design, gaming, avatar, and marketing use cases 3. Metrics • 295.29 TAO/day emissions (~4.10% network share) • 13 active validators, 256/256 miners • 100K+ tasks processed weekly 4. Moats • First DSIS subnet with real-time UX (playground + API) • Combines LLM + Image models (SDXL Turbo, Llama 3.1) • Weekly model upgrades • Built by DSIS creator (Namoray) and Rayon Labs (proven builder) 5. Bullish Thesis • Only DSIS subnet with public UX (https://t.co/ZGTwWLmDcg) and both image and text generation •~295 TAO/day emissions (~4.10% network share) show strong adoption • Weekly model upgrades (SDXL Turbo, Llama 3.1) maintain leadership • Built by DSIS creator (Namoray) for technical edge • Free access model attracts users and developers • Developed by @rayon_labs, a proven leader in the Bittensor ecosystem 6. Bearish Thesis • High-end GPU infra (24–80GB RAM) still limits broader participation • Full validator set not visible publicly; decentralization TBD • Competitors are catching up in UX and diffusion quality • A revenue model exists (Alpha token), but sustainability is early stage • A cost-free user model may face pressure as usage scales 7. Conclusion: Strong emissions, live public UX, Alpha token utility, and a fast-moving dev team make Nineteen one of the most usable AI subnets today. With proven backing from Rayon Labs and growing monetization, it leads the decentralized AI narrative on Bittensor.

Rayon is ultimately building a synergistic deAI hub. One can envision a future where a user trains a fine-tuned model on Gradients. It gets one-clicked deployed and hosted on Chutes. If it gets enough usage on Chutes, it may be worth offering on Nineteen at blazing fast speeds. These three subnets may come together in a consumer front-end like the agent app that Rayon is building called Squad (https://t.co/usnOadIKWy). (6/7)

Gradients is Bittensor’s AI agent layer. It lets you launch bots that remember, improve, and earn $TAO if they perform. Think OpenAI agents, but fully decentralized. Here’s why Subnet 56 might be a massive cook 🧵 https://t.co/iStH2NKhrr
