Bittensor is about to put every subnet it has ever argued about in one room. 100+ subnets have spent years building in isolation. AI agents, inference, reinforcement learning, computer vision, robotics, quantum, drug discovery. None of them have shared a physical stage until now. Exploit Summit 2026 is the first time the whole network shows up in one place to defend its ideas out loud. September 28 to 29. New City Gas, Montreal. ~1,000 builders, breakers and subnet teams. The format is adversarial on purpose. Head to head debates, one voice per side, on the questions nobody in the ecosystem actually agrees on. Emissions. Incentive design. Open vs closed AI. Equity vs pure token models. No VIP rooms. No sponsor lounges. Everyone argues in the open. Here is who is shipping and worth tracking before the doors open: 1. Jacob Steeves, Bittensor co-founder, now running Affine, incentivised RL that pays for real task improvement 2. Rob Myers, Manifold Labs, Targon on Subnet 4, the network's first ever miner 3. Jon Durbin, core contributor to Chutes on Subnet 64, decentralised serverless compute 4. Micaela Bazo, Metanova Labs, NOVA on Subnet 68, the first decentralised drug discovery platform 5. Bob Wold, qBittensor Labs, quantum computing subnets 6. Rory, Zeus on Subnet 18, decentralised climate forecasting 7. Max Sebti, Score, computer vision 8. Marcus Graichen, Taostats founder and one of the loudest voices in the community This is not a room where people read slides and clap. This is where the network finds out which ideas survive contact with a crowd. The people who understand a subnet before it registers are never the ones who hear about it from the price. Are you watching TAO from the chart, or from the room?
