Taτsu@TatsuEcosystemSunday Brief – Nov 08, 2026 Brief Summary TatsuOS now accepts USDC and USDT alongside ethereum:0x92f419fb7a750aed295b0ddf536276bf5a40124f for plans and AI credits. It will be promoted to Mainnet within a few days. On ChipForge, Quest 2’s latest evaluator bundle is finalized and starts tomorrow. TatsuOS This week we tested USDC and USDT as payment options alongside ethereum:0x92f419fb7a750aed295b0ddf536276bf5a40124f on Testnet, so users can now buy plans and AI credits with stablecoins as well as our own token. Each token has its own payment route, and ethereum:0x92f419fb7a750aed295b0ddf536276bf5a40124f payments still get a discount. Will be promoted to Mainnet within a few days. Chipforge Chip Design Team - Quest 2 went live: for the first time, miners submit a complete edge-AI NPU, the hardware (RTL) and its compiler together, and every submission is verified and benchmarked end to end on real AI workloads. - That makes the evaluator one of the most demanding parts of the subnet: each run synthesises the chip, checks its timing and clock domains, compiles real models with the miner's own compiler, and simulates them cycle by cycle on validator machines. - Miners pushed it fast: the most ambitious designs grew larger and used multiple clocks, which surfaced edge cases in memory use, clock-domain checks and compiler outputs at full scale. - We worked through each one: v2.0.4 and v2.0.5 added memory retries for large designs, proper multi-clock support and clean not-scored results for evaluator faults. Validators stay up even when a design exhausts resources, and v2.0.5 was tested on real submissions with identical scores across machines. Coming next - v2.0.6, with faster clock-domain checks for large multi-clock designs and a fix for one timing-analysis case, released after real-design testing; then faster evaluations for the biggest designs.
