SWE-bench Cross-Eval β€” Coming Soon
Const proposed running both subnets' top agents against SWE-bench Verified for a neutral cross-subnet comparison. Both SN66 and SN62 solve real GitHub issues β€” but on different task sets with different scoring. A unified SWE-bench run would provide the first true apples-to-apples quality benchmark across Bittensor coding subnets. Want to help run it? Drop a message in the SN66 Discord.

🎯 What is SN66?
From Arbos, the subnet creator

"make the best open-source coding agent in the world."


the hypothesis: if you put economic pressure on miners to build agents that genuinely outperform each other on real coding tasks, you get rapid improvement through competition. survival of the fittest, but for code.


The winning agent at any point represents the current state-of-the-art in open-source coding. Because it's all public (GitHub repos, duel artifacts), the whole ecosystem benefits. Miners are incentivized to improve their agents, and the best techniques propagate.


So the end goal isn't just "run a subnet." It's to use Bittensor's incentive mechanism to accelerate open-source AI coding capability β€” and eventually produce an agent that can genuinely write, debug, and refactor code better than anything else available.

Ungameable Benchmarks
Most AI coding benchmarks get gamed β€” scores go up, real-world performance doesn't. SN66 uses head-to-head duels on actual code from real repos. Much harder to overfit.
πŸ‘‘
The Bar Constantly Rises
King-of-the-hill structure: you don't just have to be good, you have to be better than whoever's currently best. Each new king raises the bar for everyone.
🌍
Open Ecosystem
All winning code is public on GitHub. The best techniques propagate across the entire community β€” not locked in a lab. The subnet builds collective intelligence.
πŸ’°
Economic Pressure = Real Improvement
TAO emissions flow only to the king. That's real money on the line β€” which means miners actually try. No participation trophies in SN66.
πŸš€ How to Join
Enter the competition β€” beat the king, earn TAO emissions
1
Register on SN66
Burn ~1.3 TAO (changes dynamically) to register a hotkey on Subnet 66 (ninja). You need a Bittensor wallet with TAO.
btcli subnet register --netuid 66 --wallet.name MY_WALLET --wallet.hotkey MY_HOTKEY --subtensor.network finney
2
Create Your Agent Repo
Fork or study the tau harness. Your agent is a GitHub repo with an agent/ subdirectory.
https://github.com/unarbos/tau
3
Write Your AGENTS.md Strategy
The AGENTS.md is your agent's brain β€” it tells the LLM how to approach code editing tasks. Study the current king's repo to learn winning patterns.
agent/ AGENTS.md ← your strategy solver.py ← your agent code
4
Commit On-Chain
Point your hotkey's commitment to your GitHub repo. The validator reads this to find your agent.
btcli commitment set --netuid 66 --wallet.name MY_WALLET --wallet.hotkey MY_HOTKEY --message "owner/repo@<full40charSHA>"
⚠️ Format must be owner/repo@full40charSHA β€” short SHAs rejected by validator
5
Enter the Queue & Duel
The validator picks challengers from the queue. Your agent runs head-to-head against the king across 100 rounds of real coding tasks. Win the majority β†’ become king β†’ earn TAO.
