| 0:00.0 | Big Tenors, one of the biggest movers in crypto right now, its native token tau, is up more than 100% on the month. |
| 0:06.4 | I'm Jen Sanasi. This is CoinDesk Daily, and we're going to take a look at what's driving the rally. |
| 0:16.5 | Discover Nexo, the premier digital wealth platform, now in the U.S. |
| 0:20.5 | Get started today at nexo.com slash coin desk. |
| 0:23.7 | Tao is used to reward participants, coordinate incentives, |
| 0:26.6 | and help signal which AI models on the BitTensor network are valuable. |
| 0:30.5 | Here's Chimat, Polyapitia, and NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang, |
| 0:34.4 | with what stands out to them on the All-In podcast. |
| 0:37.5 | There was a training run that happened in this crypto project called BitTensor. |
| 0:41.8 | Subnet 3. |
| 0:43.0 | They managed to train a 4 billion parameter Lama model, totally distributed, with a bunch of people |
| 0:48.4 | contributing excess compute. |
| 0:51.3 | But they were able to do it statefully and manage a training run, which I thought |
| 0:55.4 | was like a pretty crazy technical accomplishment. Yeah. Because it's just like random people and |
| 0:59.9 | each person gets a little share. So Betenzer is designed as a decentralized marketplace for machine |
| 1:04.6 | learning. Developers contribute models to the network and those models compete within specialized |
| 1:09.8 | subnets to produce useful outputs. |
| 1:12.3 | The network continuously evaluates their performance, and the best performing models earn |
| 1:16.9 | more tau rewards. Tao plays a key role in governance and validation. Participants stake |
| 1:23.9 | tau to support certain subnets, which are specialized AI markets focused on different tasks. |
| 1:29.9 | That stake signals which parts of the network are valuable and it helps direct more rewards. |
| 1:36.0 | Now, as more capital flows into a subnet, it can attract more developers and improve the quality of |
