Bittensor released Gamma. Attune is the first subnet to put the feature to work.
SN58 is the first Bittensor subnet live with Gamma, the on-chain usage credits for subnet services. You can now use Gamma to buy robotics training data from Horizon, where anyone with a phone can contribute. Model and playground access are next. We’re building shared robotics infrastructure for builders inside and outside Bittensor.
We’ve enabled it on SN58, and our first service is live. You can now pay with Gamma for data to train robots. Researchers, AI developers, companies and other subnets across robotics can all build with it. The data comes through Horizon, where anyone in the world can collect and contribute robotics data with just a phone.
Gamma: Payments You Can Verify, Services You Can Use
Bittensor brings people together to produce useful intelligence and infrastructure. Gamma gives its subnets a common way to charge for those services, with credit funding and spending recorded on chain.
In short, Gamma provides usage credits for services built on Bittensor.
At Exploit Summit, Bittensor founder @const_reborn outlined how subnets could use part of their emissions to fund the infrastructure their products need. A team could buy compute or inference from other subnets and put those resources to work, with the spending visible to its community.
That is a powerful extension of Bittensor’s design: specialized teams can supply one another, while customers outside the network can use their services too.
The mechanism is straightforward. Customers mint a subnet’s Gamma by burning its alpha, then spend those credits on its services. The chain records the funding and charges.
Gamma makes a subnet’s work easier for others to buy and use. It also records service charges on chain, making revenue easier to measure.
What You Can Use Today
Attune’s data service now accepts Gamma. It gives customers access to data collected through Horizon.
Horizon collects robot-control data from simulation. Contributors use their phone to control a simulated robot displayed on a computer, producing demonstrations of tasks such as moving an object or opening a drawer.
It also collects egocentric data: first-person recordings of everyday work, such as preparing food or folding clothes.
The collection tool is already in people’s hands around the world: a phone. Horizon lets anyone with one collect and contribute data for others to build with.
Customers can arrange access to that data directly with us using Attune Gamma.
Model access and playground usage are coming next, also paid for in Gamma. We’re optimizing the playground so users can bring their own models and run them there.
Gamma Across the Robotics Stack
Data is our first core Gamma service. Our plan is to bring Gamma payments to every robotics service we launch.
Beyond the upcoming model and playground access, two major milestones are ahead on Robotensor’s roadmap. Each will introduce its own services and expand the robotics infrastructure we’re building.
We’re building toward full robotics infrastructure that other teams can use for their own work.
That infrastructure should be useful to other robotics subnets as well as independent researchers, labs, startups and established companies. We want builders to focus on their own work and use Gamma to access the services they need.
That is the scale we’re working toward: shared infrastructure for the wider robotics industry, available to builders inside and outside Bittensor.
