SN92: the next phase

SN92: the next phase Subnets that last are the ones where real revenue pays the bills. That's the direction I laid out on 18 Oct in the subnet discord, and after Friday's crowning slots SN92 takes the next step. Phase 1: Build (done). The launch phase was deliberately generous: test the network at scale, bring many miners in, learn fast. It delivered: •engine techniques that make our models much faster and cheaper to run, now going into decisionmodels.io •real know-how on training better decision models; the strongest entries that clearly beats their base go to the Hugging Face Decision Index •a community of miners who know this subnet inside out Phase 2: Earn (now). Spending follows real revenue and what operations actually need: •Both competition tracks pause after Friday's slots. •Inference rewards move step by step toward real customer demand, starting next week, each step announced here first. •Fair to everyone: every crowning is paid properly (full share for 3 days, then down to zero by day 7, then keep-alive, so no champion gets pruned), and everything already earned stays paid. Phase 3: Scale. As paying customers grow, rewards grow with them, paid by real demand instead of emission. That's escape velocity. Why this works •Speed: miners in the engine competition made our models up to 3–4× faster on the same GPUs, verified against strict correctness checks. That goes straight into production. •Cost: decision models are cheap to serve. A single RTX PRO 6000 handles 30 to 95 decisions per second in our measurements, while large LLMs need clusters of the most expensive GPUs for a handful of users. This is the type of business that can pay for itself. •Demand: weekly requests to decision models on OpenRouter doubled in four weeks, to 1.67 billion a week (source: openrouter.ai/rankings). •Traction: decisionmodels.io is growing organically. One customer who found us on their own sent 1.7 million requests in a single week. We are well…
