Bittensor subnet CADmind goes live: prompt-to-print hardware engineering network
bittingthembits · x · 2026-11-13
Bittensor subnet SN42 "CADmind" is live, backed by Yuma Group, bringing AI design into the physical world.
- How it works: describe a device in natural language (or with a photo) — e.g. "a desk adjustable power supply built around a DPS5005 module, screen tilted for reading" — and miners on the network produce real engineering projects around your parts.
- Deliverables: a checked STEP assembly, STL files for printed parts, a BOM of parts to buy, and an assembly guide; every stated requirement is verified before delivery. The sample project: a 110×109×96mm case with 2 printed parts and 10 off-the-shelf components.
- Incentives: miners only earn when real customers are satisfied, tying Bittensor mining economics to actual hardware engineering.
- Scope: PC cases, part enclosures, drones, and robotics — aimed at the odd, specific, useful things that don't exist off the shelf.
