Watch: Co-founders Will and Steffen discuss the Macrocosmos Ecosystem on the Novelty Search podcast

A breakdown of all five of our subnets, federated learning, and interconnectivity between subnets, among many other updates to our constellation.

Our co-founders, Will Squires and Steffen Cruz, joined Opentensor Foundation’s Novelty Search podcast to discuss the current state of Macrocosmos and the wider Bittensor space.

This was one of our most wide-ranging discussions, touching on a plethora of topics and covering all five of our subnets. In the words of Will, ‘There is this sort of constellation effect, of you needing lots and lots of pieces of the AI process to be really effective in this space, and in Bittensor. Ultimately, the network needs lots of these commodities to be super valuable. And so we saw a lot of harmony between building more than one of them’.

There are plenty of highlights, including:

• We listed benchmarks and metrics for all five of our subnets.

• Subnet 13, Data Universe, has now produced the world's largest data source

• We unveiled Gravity - a product built on subnet 13, allowing people to incentivise data-scraping on specific terms and phrases that are meaningful to them.

• We are experimenting with federated learning on Bittensor, revealing some of our updates and findings.

• Synthetic datasets generated by subnet 1 Apex are now being fed into the subnet 37 Fine-Tuning competition.
