Questions

Do I need TAO to use these?

No for BitMind, ItsAI and Desearch, which are free to start or take normal payment.

What doesn't Bittensor cover yet?

Every detector makes mistakes, so treat results as a signal, not proof.

What is a Bittensor subnet?

Bittensor is a network of 128 subnets. Each one is a competition where miners do a job, like serving AI models or renting out GPUs, and validators score the work. Some subnets also sell what they produce as a normal product. This guide only recommends those.
