Aurelius
Open, community-discovered AI alignment instead of alignment defined in private.
Macrocosmos SN37 runs fine-tuning competitions for chatbot, reasoning, and coding models.
The simplest explanation
Like a cooking competition where each chef specializes in a cuisine and judges eat the results.
Everything you need to understand Aurelius
No jargon. No whitepapers. Just the facts.
The Problem
AI alignment today is defined privately by hyperscalers with no transparency, accountability, or shared standards.
What Aurelius Does
Macrocosmos SN37 runs fine-tuning competitions for chatbot, reasoning, and coding models.
The Edge
Open vs closed, multi-agentic vs monolithic, discovered vs dictated: alignment data emerges bottom-up from network-run agent simulations of ethical dilemmas rather than being dictated by a single lab.
What's the closest mainstream equivalent?
The best way to understand a new technology is to compare it to something familiar.
Open vs closed, multi-agentic vs monolithic, discovered vs dictated: alignment data emerges bottom-up from network-run agent simulations of ethical dilemmas rather than being dictated by a single lab.
How does Bittensor make this possible?
Aureliususes Bittensor's incentive layer to build something no single company could run alone.
Miners compete
Participants (called miners) on the Aurelius subnet compete to produce the best outputs for ai alignment infrastructure tasks. Anyone with the right hardware can join.
Validators score the work
Validators continuously evaluate miner outputs against objective benchmarks. The best performers rise, the worst are replaced. There's no human committee — the protocol decides.
Rewards flow to the best
Miners are paid in the Aurelius alpha token in proportion to how good their work is. This creates a continuous competitive pressure that drives quality up and cost down — structurally, not just as a promise.
The whole network benefits
Because every participant is aligned toward the same goal — producing the best ai alignment infrastructure results — the network improves continuously without requiring a central team to manage it.
Frequently Asked Questions about Aurelius
What is Aurelius on Bittensor?
Aurelius is Subnet 37 (SN37) on the Bittensor network — a decentralized AI protocol built on the TAO blockchain. Macrocosmos SN37 runs fine-tuning competitions for chatbot, reasoning, and coding models.
What problem does Aurelius solve?
AI alignment today is defined privately by hyperscalers with no transparency, accountability, or shared standards.
How is Aurelius different from Anthropic/OpenAI in-house RLHF & Constitutional AI alignment pipelines?
Open vs closed, multi-agentic vs monolithic, discovered vs dictated: alignment data emerges bottom-up from network-run agent simulations of ethical dilemmas rather than being dictated by a single lab.
What is the Aurelius token?
The Aurelius subnet has its own alpha token on Bittensor's dTAO system. It trades in the Bittensor liquidity pool and its price reflects market demand for the subnet's services.
Is Aurelius a good investment?
AlphaGap tracks Aurelius using its aGap score — a composite of development activity, token flow, and social signals. This page is for informational purposes only and is not financial advice. Always do your own research before making any investment decisions.
