Using Jev-style system-1 models as a cheap calibrated decision layer for Bittensor validators
markjeffrey · x · 2026-09-25
- Bittensor's Yuma Consensus only works if validators actually score; most subjective subnets use slow, expensive LLM-as-judge pipelines, making weight-copying the rational strategy
- Commit-reveal hides copying but doesn't lower the cost of honesty
- Proposal: a tiny, cheap, calibrated decision layer in the validator loop—milliseconds on CPU, thresholdable probabilities
- Jev-style system-1 models fit: single forward pass, softmax over the live set, robust to changing miner UIDs and subnet catalogs
