The algorithm winning TIG's neural net optimizer challenge right now was mined in 24 hours by a beta swarm with no formal maths training.

Recap of the private beta swarms ahead of our launch this week! Until recently, improving algorithms had a significant bottleneck - you had to be a researcher - meaning the pool of contributors was extremely small.

AI changes that.

You’ve probably seen multiple articles talking about the various maths breakthroughs that have occurred using AI.

If AI can solve a problem that has stood for decades, it can improve an algorithm!

But to really remove the bottleneck, you need something more ….

You need an open layer that coordinates, verifies and rewards participants so someone can go from doing it as a hobby to doing it as a full time job.

TIG is that layer and is perfectly poised to capture the AI x Maths boom

We wrote about algorithm mining earlier this year:
