Releasing TaoFlows.app 🚀
The fastest Bittensor $TAO transactions dashboard.
+ Real-time block data.
+ Unique flow views.
+ Up to 4 live price charts.
Understand the flow of $TAO liquidity accross all 128 subnets and monitor the trades like nowhere else.
Hope this sets the bar higher for the trading platforms building on Bittensor 🥩
there isn't a single $TAO subnet that didn't top the moment I bought it
which one am i buying next?

Frontier labs are advancing the capabilities in AI for biology but preventing the good guys (scientists, academia, non-profits, health agencies,...) to use, study and understand it with widespread but shallow guardrails that the bad guys are bypassing easily (blocked me to proofread this tweet for example 😅).
This will automatically create massive assymetry and risks in the coming years, just like in cybersecurity, especially now that frontier labs are building wet labs (HF cybersecurity scenario for biology when?).
This is why we created Carbon-X, the best open-source DNA model by midtraining Qwen3-14B on 300B tokens of DNA, English and interleaved data. We also used a hybrid tokenizer that tokenizes English with BPE and DNA with a 6-mer tokenizer.
As a result, Carbon-X outperforms all open language models we evaluated on five benchmarks of DNA understanding and generation. This is a 27-point improvement over Qwen3-14B, showing how much a language model can gain from DNA training. It is also API frontier level at 1,800x less cost than GPT 6.1 Sol!
We hope Carbon-X helps researchers explore DNA in new ways. Releasing it openly means anyone can study its capabilities, limitations, and risks. Let's make the AI biology frontier open-source to make it safe and impactful for the whole world (not just a few companies).

$TAO TaoFlows app is not at risk of PHP cyberattacks.
We do not use deprecated technology like PHP. All our code packages are latest and includes the latest security patches as they become available.
Our stack is Linux + Rust + Next.js
Wallet connection uses only official libraries which are carefully audited and tested against the latest subtensor runtime code.

🚨ALARMING: Major U.S. banks are detecting UNAUTHORIZED AI agents accessing customer accounts, with some reportedly taking actions beyond users' instructions, per Axios.
Morgan Stanley, JPMorgan, Bank of America and Citi are restricting third-party AI access as security concerns grow.
The biggest risks:
- AI agents could make purchases or move funds without clear user authorization.
- Banks are struggling to distinguish human activity from AI agents acting independently.
- Some AI agents have reportedly contacted bank call centers on customers' behalf.
Banks are now moving toward READ-ONLY access, allowing AI to view financial information without making transactions.
The growing concern is that AI agents are advancing FASTER than banks can secure their systems.

The internet is going into a LOCKDOWN.
Hundreds of millions of websites are potentially at risk from cyberattacks.
Governments, banks and major platforms have already taken their websites OFFLINE.
Many are already calling it “Black October.”
At the centre of the shutdowns is something most of us have never heard of, but use every day.
PHP, the software behind roughly 7 in 10 websites, has two critical flaws that can let hackers break in without a password.
Dubbed PHP2Shell, both are rated 9.2 out of 10 for severity.
Details began circulating on Oct 20. Emergency fixes arrived the next day, but attackers were already moving.
Cloudflare’s CEO says hacking attempts then jumped from thousands to MILLIONS within hours.
Cybersecurity agencies across several countries are telling PHP site owners the same thing: Patch it now, or take it offline.
Websites have gone dark worldwide, from government portals and hospitals to banks.
CrowdStrike warns these attacks leave almost no trace, so some sites may not know if they’ve been hit.
Around 2.6 MILLION internet-facing servers run PHP, potentially hosting hundreds of sites each.
Over 1.1 million use older versions no longer receiving official PHP updates.
Older installations may need an upgrade to a supported PHP version or a fix from their software provider.
And patching does not remove a backdoor an attacker may already have planted.
Cloudflare also says hackers are now tweaking their attacks to try to slip past its protections.
But PHP isn’t the only security story unfolding.
-Japan’s Onamae suspended ALL Desktop Cloud plans after malware was found on customer servers.
-India’s eMudhra had 8 website-certificate keys so weak, one was literally the number “4”.
-State Bank of India confirmed 3,897 customer records on the dark web.
-Criminals used AI agents to break into 400+ Latin American banks.
-Capcom confirmed a breach exposing 11.7 million email addresses.
-GitLab disclosed a 10/10 severity flaw in versions going back to 2014.
-LiteLLM removed a malware-containing release. Railway reported possible exposure of customer secrets.
None of these has a confirmed link to PHP2Shell.
We’re seeing separate breaches unfold together.
The true number of incidents could take months to come out.
The world is still on alert. Attacks are still coming.

Pou chèf gang yo ak manm gang yo k ap kenbe kat konpatriyòt nou yo an otaj ann Ayiti:
Mesye nou kidnape yo pa konbatan. Yo se teknisyen nan domèn avyasyon ki fè pati misyon nou ann Ayiti, nan kad yon misyon entènasyonal. Misyon nou an gen sèlman pilòt ak pèsonèl teknik, ki gen kòm travay prensipal fè evakyasyon medikal epi sove lavi moun, pa fè lagè.
Men, nou te kidnape yo yon fason lach pandan yo t ap retounen apre yo te fin achte manje nan yon makèt nan zòn nan.
Se poutèt sa, jodi a nou te lanse yon operasyon militè pou pote yo sekou. Nou gen yon sèl objektif: fè kat konpatriyòt nou yo retounen lakay yo vivan, san okenn mal.
Men, mwen vle pou nou menm, chèf gang yo, konprann yon bagay byen klè: atak jodi a pa anyen devan sa k ap vini si nou pa remèt toule kat otaj yo vivan.
Epi pa pran pawòl nou yo pou menas san fondman. Nou deja fini ak gang yo nan El Salvador, e nou kapab fini ak nou tou.
Nou toujou gen tan pou evite sa.
Remèt nou kat konpatriyòt nou yo vivan, san okenn mal, epi tout bagay ap retounen jan sa te ye anvan kidnaping lan.
Desizyon an nan men nou.
My belief in $TAO is shaken.
Bittensor is high on hopes, low on actual proof of useful work.
New Bitcoins are only given to miners. There are no exploits. The only "exploit" you can find in Bitcoin is creating better mining hardware which makes bitcoin stronger.
Even among subnets, those doing the actual useful work get dumped like trash and the subnets with good promo videos pump instead in a great rotation game among 5k wallets per week.
Asked grok wtf this retard means for dummies:
The poster is saying he’s losing confidence in **Bittensor ($TAO)** because it feels more like hype and speculative trading than a system that reliably rewards real, useful AI work.
He’s comparing it to Bitcoin: every new BTC is earned only by miners who burn energy and do actual proof-of-work that secures the network. Better hardware just makes Bitcoin stronger — there’s no free money handed out to passive holders or people who aren’t doing real work. He argues Bittensor doesn’t work that cleanly. TAO (and the subnet tokens) get emitted even when some of the activity is passive staking, “useless” validators, or other low-effort ways of capturing rewards rather than genuine productive AI work. In his view, that makes the inflation less efficient and less valuable than Bitcoin’s.
The last part is about the market behavior of the subnets themselves. He claims the ones that are actually doing useful work often get sold off (“dumped like trash”), while the ones with slick promo videos and good marketing tend to pump. He sees it as a rotating speculative game mostly played by a relatively small set of wallets (~5k per week) rather than sustained demand based on real utility.
In short: he’s calling Bittensor high on narrative and low on strict “proof of useful work,” and he thinks the current token/subnet dynamics reward promotion and speculation more than actual productive AI output. (His later replies in the thread double down on the “there shouldn’t be free TAO” point.)

Effective Immediately, all organizations using PHP for their systems are advised to be prepared for an update addressing two critical vulnerabilities. PHP is widely used for web applications. These vulnerabilities often provide a direct path to the server's file system or database. If an immediate update is not feasible, it is recommend that organizations take the system offline until it can be fully mitigated. NSA will follow up shortly with more specific guidance.
Alpenglow is now live on Solana mainnet. ⛰️

GPT-Rosalind surfaced a new lead for drug discovery: could restoring cholesterol transport protect neurons from degeneration?
DCTN1 is a gene linked to Perry syndrome, a rare neurodegenerative disorder. In mouse-brain data, disrupting it increased expression of genes involved in making cholesterol. GPT-Rosalind suggested a possible explanation: cholesterol may not be reaching where neurons need it.
That gives scientists a specific mechanism to test and, if confirmed, a direction for developing new treatments for neurodegenerative disorders.
With @perturbai_tx and @scrippsresearch, a team of thousands of GPT-Rosalind agents worked in parallel, connecting gene-expression results from millions of mouse brain cells with scientific literature in just 32 minutes. We’re now expanding this collaboration to identify new drug targets.

Turbo extraction mode activated. bittensor:native
Subnet owners are setting their own emissions to 0% to make themselves look more legitimate, when in reality, the new update makes it much easier for them to play the game.
They simply redirect emissions to miners.
Miners they control themselves. 🤫
So now they can extract TAO from their subnets much more easily.
Before, anyone could track the subnet owner’s address and see exactly how much they were extracting.
Now? Nobody knows which miners belong to them.
Same extraction game. Just much harder to track.

$TAO eTAO changes validator earnings, but TaoFlows' existing APY calculation already handles it correctly.
For example, the important catch is historical lag:
SN35 owner pool: seven-day APY 270.27%, versus 12.74% annualized from its latest payout.
SN36 owner pool: seven-day APY 342.04%, versus 10.61% from its latest payout.
