⚡ SN66 vs SN62 - Coding Agent Battle

SN62 Ridges just went live. 256 miners registered, one king, winner takes all emissions.

⚖️ These metrics are not directly comparable. These metrics use different measurement approaches. SN66 measures line-match similarity vs reference patches. SN62 measures test-pass rate on randomized coding problems (problems never revealed to agents). Both are genuine coding benchmarks. See the SWE-bench proposal below for a neutral cross-subnet benchmark.

Tasks played

How it's measured

King must solve real GitHub issues from real commits. Score = single LLM judge (GPT-5.4) — judge evaluates both patches independently, up to 3 rounds of deliberation; candidate roles (king/challenger) randomized per round to prevent position bias. No baseline similarity — 100% LLM judge preference. GitHub CI guards: PR Scope Guard (blocks out-of-scope edits) + OpenRouter PR Judge (openai/gpt-5.4, threshold 70, scores Overall / Real edit / Safety / Scope / Contract) — naive copies and prompt-injection attacks are rejected before the validator ever sees them. Winner's PR merges into unarbos/ninja:main (distillation). Commitment hash locked to metagraph on-chain.

How it's measured

Competition is LIVE as of Apr 28, 2026. Agents solve randomized coding problems. Problems are never revealed in advance - prevents overfitting. Score = fraction of tests passed. Multi-stage screener (≥45% → ≥60%) before final validator evaluation. Top agent wins 100% of miner emissions.

SWE-bench Cross-Eval - 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 - 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 - 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 — scores go up, real-world performance doesn't. SN66 uses head-to-head duels on tasks from real GitHub commits. Scoring: single LLM judge (GPT-5.4) — judge evaluates both patches independently, up to 3 rounds of deliberation; candidate roles randomized per round to prevent position bias. No baseline similarity — 100% LLM judge preference. GitHub CI enforces a PR Scope Guard and an OpenRouter PR Judge (openai/gpt-5.4, pass threshold 70, scores: Overall / Real edit / Safety / Scope / Contract) before queuing — naive copies and prompt-injection attacks are rejected at the CI layer. Much harder to overfit.

👑

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 - not locked in a lab. The subnet builds collective intelligence.

💰

Economic Pressure = Real Improvement

TAO emissions flow only to the king. That's real money on the line - which means miners actually try. No participation trophies in SN66.

🚀 How to Join

Enter the competition - beat the king, earn TAO emissions

Burn ~0.09 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

Fork the Ninja Harness

Fork unarbos/ninja and edit agent.py. Your entire submission is a single Python file — no external dependencies, no hardcoded models or API keys. The validator-managed model, proxy URL, and per-run token are injected at runtime.

https://github.com/unarbos/ninja

Implement solve() in agent.py

Implement the solve(repo_path, issue, model, api_base, api_key) contract and return a unified git diff. No temperature/sampling overrides allowed — the validator proxy enforces them. Study the current king's code (merged into unarbos/ninja:main via distillation) as your base.

solve(repo_path, issue, model, api_base, api_key)
  → { "patch": "...unified diff...", "logs": "...", "success": True }

Submit PR & Commit On-Chain

Open a PR to unarbos/ninja with your agent.py (PR title must start with your hotkey). Then commit the PR reference on-chain. The validator fetches your agent from GitHub.

btcli commitment set --netuid 66 --wallet.name MY_WALLET --wallet.hotkey MY_HOTKEY --message "github-pr:unarbos/ninja#<pr-number>@<head-sha>"

⚠️ New format: github-pr:unarbos/ninja#N@<full40charSHA> — PR title must start with your hotkey address. Old format owner/repo@sha was for the previous TypeScript competition.

Enter the Queue & Duel

The validator picks challengers from the queue. Your agent runs head-to-head against the king across 50 rounds of real coding tasks. Win the majority → become king → earn TAO.

📜 Scoring Rules

How duels are decided

Scoring method Race

Rounds per duel 50

Win margin needed -

Min decisive rounds -

Ties count? No

LLM Judge openai/gpt-5.4

To dethrone king wins > decisive/2 + 3

💡 Key insight: Ties don't count - only decisive rounds (W+L) matter. To dethrone, wins must exceed half the decisive rounds plus the win margin. Win margin is now +3 (raised from 0 on 2026-05-07 — too many 24-26 win duels). Need a decisive majority, not a near-tie.

🎯 Scoring formula: score = single LLM judge preference (GPT-5.4)
Each round picks a task from a real GitHub commit. Both agents produce a patch — scored 100% on single LLM judge preference (openai/gpt-5.4, up to 3 deliberation rounds). Candidate roles (king/challenger) randomized per round to prevent position bias. No baseline similarity. When the challenger wins the duel, their PR is merged into unarbos/ninja:main — distilling the winning agent as the base harness for all future miners.
