tl;dr

highlights:

~1% of network emissions, backed by yzi labs, dojo interface coder 7b, sft and dpo datasets, signature verification for multisig setups, kami

year:

2024-2025

role:

architect, product owner, sole developer → tech lead

stack:

python, go, typescript, nextjs, react, litellm, instructor, langfuse, openrouter, huggingface, playwright, typescript-lsp, postgres, milvus, redis, docker, aws, pm2, fastapi, gin, cohere.ai, siws

challenges:

game theory, incentive mechanism design, anti-gaming mechanisms in an adversarial open-source environment, embracing new ai tooling when it hasn't matured, designing cicd flows to prevent vibe coded slop

lessons:

build the product first then decentralize, narrow scope beats broad ambition, without evals every architecture decision is a judgment call, assume everything will be reverse-engineered in open-source adversarial environments, technical decisions need to be made by the people who understand the engineering

tl;dr

highlights:

<1s time to first token (TTFT), 2000+ insights generated from 40+ bittensor youtube channels, secured USD$3m funding, inference on bittensor corcel's decentralized API with fallbacks via openrouter/litellm

role:

architect, backend & ai engineer

stack:

python, typescript, nextjs, react, litellm, instructor, langfuse, openrouter, huggingface, postgres, milvus, redis, docker, aws, pm2, fastapi, cron, scheduling, cohere.ai, together.ai

challenges:

ai observability, writing evals, measuring system performance of reranking and query classification/decomposition/expansion, chunking experiments for sentence window/small-to-big retrieval, scraping youtube with heavy anti-botting mechanisms

lessons:

it's easier to write your own ai components than to use langchain, evals & observability are essential before measuring effects of new components in your system, evals evals EVALS
