. @TAOTemplar has spent years making Bittensor easier to understand - from mining + dTAO to subnet mechanics. A software developer with 15 years’ experience, he built TAOFlute and one of the ecosystem’s best-known education channels. At Exploit, he’ll lead our Bittensor 101 session:

TaoMate-H3 turns MiniMax H3 into a low-latency streaming audio-video generator built for continuous creation. 🤖 ⚡ Runs the DiT 11.45× faster and delivers the first playable video 10.60× faster than standard MiniMax H3 in the reported 480×864, 10-second test. 🎬 Generates synchronized video, speech, and sound in five-second chunks instead of waiting for the full sequence. 🔄 Clean KV cache and integrated audio guidance preserve identity, voice, and motion as prompts change across chunks. 🧩 A three-step LoRA supports continuous portrait or landscape generation at 480p, 768p, and aligned 1080p. Inference code and 4-GPU or 8-GPU deployment are included. 📜 MiniMax H3 Community License.

TAO is expanding to Base through Chainlink CCIP, unlocking swaps on Aerodrome for the first time. Chainlink DataLink is also powering lending and borrowing markets for wARS, a tokenized Argentine peso. Two more assets, two more markets, one standard.

Taoxichuan 陶溪川 is HUGE — most of the vendors looked super young, probably university students and independent craft artists. 🏺✨ It’s a creative district in #Jingdezhen#, built around a former ceramic factory. CR: momo

The TAO Pill is coming to Exploit. @GordonFrayne has built one of Bittensor’s most substantive interview series - getting founders to unpack the technology, incentives + business models behind the network’s most ambitious projects. As an official Media Partner, he’ll be interviewing Exploit speakers throughout the summit for a special run of TAO Pill episodes. Two days. One room. A lot of conversations you won’t get anywhere else:

Terence Tao: "we have to slow down AI. the pace is insane, and there's no reason to be this fast" I disagree. We have countless problems that need solving: energy crisis, disease, world hunger. To say there are no reasons to do so ignores the current state of the world. And that's so regrettable. Currently, the only topics discussed are the potential negative consequences of acceleration, the possible problems. But hardly any of the advantages, the approaching golden age of science that can offer us so much more.
