REAX
- What happened
- SN92 (REAX) activated Eval v3 for its DF and RA specialist tracks, adding private real-data items, a generalisation penalty and a tougher crowning threshold (2.75 SE over draws). A new rule takes effect Oct 20 18:00 UTC requiring challengers close to the champion's weights to also beat it on correctness, closing a gap where a near-identical model won on calibration alone. The REAX engine track is set to open Oct 20 18:00 UTC (fallback Oct 21), with the team reporting a 6x inference speedup over the reference server baseline. UID 67 passed its confirmation draw and became the new RA champion, pending copy check and approval.
- Community
- Miners questioned the fairness of the prior DF crowning, arguing the new champion was effectively a copy of the previous one with only calibration differences. Separately, a miner noted that current RA models appear to be derivatives or transforms of two base models, raising concern about originality, though they added this may not be an issue if the models perform better.
- Official
- The team confirmed Eval v3 went live at 18:08 UTC and that the engine track opens Oct 20 18:00 UTC with a fallback to Oct 21. It also corrected an earlier post implying the engine competition had already started, clarifying that submissions only begin counting once the track opens.

The team argues the fee cannot be lowered or more entrants would crowd out miners doing good work.
“We can't lower it, otherwise even more people would sign up and kick out other miners that do good work”
-
Some miners argue the fee is actually too low and should be raised sharply.
“Reg fee is too cheap now, Kindly increase to 100 TAO”
-
Other miners want the ability to run one hotkey across multiple competitions simultaneously, as on SN44.
“Please allow participation in multiple competitions simultaneously using a single hotkey.”
