24h change −11.02%

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.

24h change +3.33%

What happened
The team is rolling out worker changes to the champion-selection logic after a miner reported that the failure-counter reset allowed a model to dodge the 3-failure rule and keep its champion status. The planned fix will count start-up failures over a rolling window instead of resetting them, give champions an immediate retry on failure, and exclude infrastructure errors from failure counts. Release 1.2.0rc9 went live on the reference validator, doubling the per-hotkey speed cap to 1,280 decisions/s for s1-fast and 320/s for s1-pro. Separately, the team is adding private tasks to evaluation effective Oct 19 at 18:00 UTC after testing found the champion model scores 75 on regular items but only 36 on held-out private tasks, a gap of 40 points.
Community
A miner described the champion-selection bug in detail, citing a monitoring agent that showed the issue persisting on one UID since 07:48 UTC, and said another model had been kept out of the champion position as a result. Other community members raised questions about the emission split and the pace of speed-cap increases relative to hardware costs.
Official
The team confirmed the bug, outlined the planned worker-release fix, and said it would not change the inference/competition emission split or raise the speed cap further until it reviews a few days of data following the current 2x cap increase.

24h change +15.04%

What happened
SN92 (REAX) shipped validator update 1.2.0rc8, speeding up the competition evaluation queue and adding keep-alive protection for up to 8 waiting entries per track, and announced release 1.2.0rc9, which will double per-hotkey inference speed caps (s1-fast 640 to 1,280, s1-pro 160 to 320 decisions/s) on Oct 18, 2026. Three days after going live, the network reported 217 miner slots serving decision models and 65 independent miner wallets earning. The first model-training competitions crowned champions in demand forecasting (UID 71, score 91.1 vs a 38.2 baseline) and risk assessment (UID 251, score 64.2 vs 31.7), both approved. The team also raised the registration fee growth rate and extended the immunity period to address high daily re-registrations, and fixed a risk-assessment evaluation queue stall caused by an unreachable repository.
Community
Miners asked why UID 71 was named champion despite a lower raw score than some competitors, questioned why champions had not yet received rewards, and reported hotkeys being deregistered while still awaiting evaluation. Separate exchanges included accusations between miners over an alleged alt account and copied models, along with complaints about moderators being summoned unnecessarily.
Official
The team explained that the champion is decided by a head-to-head playoff rather than raw first-draw scores, confirmed both crowns as approved, and said it would close a gap that let entries be pruned while still waiting for their first evaluation.

24h change −3.26%

What happened
The team opened two SN92 (REAX) competition tracks, demand forecasting and risk assessment, at 12:00 UTC on October 30, while delaying the REAX Engine track to Monday for an additional improvement pass. A chain-commitment limit meant hotkeys submitting competition entries could not also serve inference and were being deregistered during evaluation; the team introduced a keep-alive weight for entries that pass copy checks and beat the entry floor to prevent this. Some older entries scored before the rule change, including UID 111, were still pruned and had to be retroactively covered. The team also fixed a validator speed-measurement issue so hotkeys are credited at real throughput, removing the payout advantage of splitting one machine across multiple hotkeys, and set a 0.5 TAO minimum registration fee alongside the existing increase and cap.
Community
Miners questioned why UID105's incentive dropped despite high performance and raised concerns about hotkey deregistration during competition evaluation and the fairness of multi-hotkey versus multi-machine setups. After UID 111 was deregistered due to the keep-alive gap, a community member flagged it along with UID26 and UID27 losing emission.
Official
The team acknowledged the keep-alive gap affecting UID 111 and apologized, fixing it retroactively since 19:21 UTC, and confirmed step one of the speed-measurement fix went live at the 21:15 UTC weight set, with multi-machine support for a single hotkey planned next.

24h change +27.64%

What happened
SN92 (REAX) launched its decision-model mining network following a pilot partnership with msg group's CTO, and released the open-weight s1-llm-auto-router decision model for LLM routing served on REAX. The team introduced a new reward split (50% inference, 20% engine competition, 2x15% use-case competitions), replacing the initial all-inference distribution, and deployed a capacity-scoring v2 update so rewards scale with verified per-hotkey throughput. A delay in miner incentive, caused by root stake being attributed to UID 0 instead of the validator's child key, was fixed by making the validator the subnet owner hotkey. The registration fee cap was lowered to 0.3 TAO after the capacity fix, then reversed hours later to a 1.26x rising fee capped at 2 TAO after a registration rush.
Community
Miners debated whether running multiple hotkeys per GPU increases rewards and whether the lack of Sybil protection would turn registration into a UID race, while others pushed back on high registration fees. Community members also noted the subnet's launch tweet reaching over 500k views and ranking third among AI release announcements.
Official
The team announced the reward-split change, released capacity scoring v2, published open practice datasets on Hugging Face, and posted several updates addressing the incentive delay, a capacity probe bug, and registration fee adjustments.

24h change +511.29%

What happened
SN92 (REAX)'s channel, previously unclaimed, was claimed by a new operator who launched the DecisionModels project built on a REAX inference engine and opened mining. Mining launched in two parts, 80% model hosting and 20% competitions, with the first competition focused on speeding up the REAX engine. Miners initially reported zero incentive with 100% burn because the operator's validator had not yet become the lead validator on-chain. The operator later introduced an EU-GDPR-compliant mining tier requiring EU company registration and a written contract for enterprise hosting.
Community
For an extended period before the claim, members speculated about who controlled the unclaimed channel, with some stating as fact that a known figure directed it; a moderator repeatedly intervened to limit unverified claims. After the channel was claimed, members congratulated the new operator and asked about the project's purpose, mining access, and the burn/incentive issue.
Official
The operator clarified that their validator's child hotkey would activate the next day around 09:30 UTC, after which their larger stake weight would determine consensus and resolve the zero-incentive issue. The operator also described the EU-GDPR tier as a way to serve enterprise customers subject to European regulation and stated it is, to their knowledge, the first subnet to offer this.
