Into:Albedo
Dethrone the king or score nothing

A Bittensor that runs distillation as a permanent tournament: upload a small coding model, duel the reigning champion on real software-engineering tasks, and take the crown only if a panel of AI judges says you beat it.
What is Albedo
Albedo (subnet 97) is a competition for shrinking large AI models into small, efficient coding models. Instead of one team training a model in private, anyone can submit a contender that tries to beat the current best model on a fixed set of programming problems. A new champion is crowned only when a challenger clearly outscores the old one.
The simple version: It is a king-of-the-hill ladder for code-writing AI. There is always one reigning "king" model. You train a challenger, it duels the king on the same coding tasks, and if a panel of AI judges scores you higher by a clear margin, you become the new king.
Centralized equivalent: No clean equivalent. The closest analogy is the model-distillation pipeline an AI lab runs internally to compress a big model into a cheaper one, except here it runs continuously, in the open, with a public scoreboard and the duel records published for anyone to learn from.
How it works:
- train a small "challenger" model, upload it to decentralized storage, and register it on-chain to challenge the current king.
- Validators stage head-to-head duels between the king and each challenger on a pinned set of coding trajectories, have a panel of language-model judges score the results, and crown a new king only when a challenger clears the win margin.
