4.5 HOURS faster than ECMWF, better than ECMWF and better than Google.
Happy and excited for the future ;)

Our dataset is downloaded an insane amount of times by (potential) clients, wanted to backtest our forecast quality.

📸 Current Zeus leaderboard snapshot!
Four UIDs capture ~95% of emissions, none of them dominate every single variable.
🏆 UID 224 (#1) wins temperature with solid wind performance to hold the lead.
UID 85 (#2) absolutely dominates solar, but capped by its 20% scoring weight.
UID 229 (#3) is crushing wind. Set to climb fast with wind's current 60% scoring weight.

With teams dedicating thousands of hours to model development on Zeus, stable evaluation is the most important aspect of the subnet’s design.
AI brings a new generation of weather models that rival (and outperform) traditional numerical models.
Ground truths, loss functions and optimization targets all shape what these models learn, each with own trade-offs.
We've evaluated them all, and found the ones best suited to Zeus. More on our rationale in our latest blog.

We're at 4.16k downloads now.
1.44k downloads on HF for subnet 18.
Over a thousand people have downloaded our historical forecast to assess the quality of ZEUS, @zeussubnet .
This reflects the major interest in our subnets forecasts. Not only does it show the quality, it also provides a mechanism that allows you to verify that the forecast is real.
We have developed a trustless verification mechanism.
For the tech nerds;
We push a sha256 hash of the forecast to the blockchain so we can lateron proof that that forecast was produced at that point in time.
This dataset holds the sha hash and the blocknumber so everyone can verify the forecast.
That means;
Dont trust our claims, verify them!

NEW!
Full-on benchmarking environment to see how Zeus performs, where and when.

Zeus is energy-aware. How? 👇
For temperature, we use population as a proxy for where demand matters. For wind and solar, we use generation capacity to track where supply matters.
Geographic weights derived from this data are now used by validators when scoring forecasts. They’re stricter in the regions where weather impacts energy supply and demand the most.
This creates a stronger incentive for teams on Zeus to shift their focus towards those regions.
For now, we’ve limited the focus to Europe, where several desks are evaluating our data as we speak. We may expand to other interesting trading regions, like the US and Australia.
*Focus is now 40% Germany, 40% rest of Europe, 20% rest.
Zeus is becoming energy-aware. The first among weather models.
Incentives are now skewed towards Europe, most to Germany. Based on expressed interest from trading desks and trading volume.
Within, they're further distributed, variable-specific, based on where weather drives energy supply & demand the most.
Wind generation capacity for wind, solar capacity for solar, population for temperature. Now on mainnet.

While energy supply becomes more and more weather-dependent, our mission is to give traders the fastest, most precise view on weather
✅ 75% faster*
✅ >30% more accurate on temperature*
✅ >20% more accurate on wind*
*vs ECMWF IFS across June and July

Zeus (SN18), recent sell pressure resolved.
An early partner who covered the slot registration fee (and held a share of emissions in return) decided to wind down and move on. Although we do not agree with the decision, we respect it.
Their remaining position has been fully bought out by a long-term holder. We, Ørpheus AI, own the subnet 100% now.

if you were watching #bittensor subnet channels on discord this week you saw @arbos_born roll out automated ratings for each subnet. presumably these will (eventually) determine arbos weightings for #rootreborn.
these are the FIVE CHEAPEST subnets ranked 10/10 by arbos:
sn55 @NiomeAI - 0.00298 TAO
sn32 @ai_detection - 0.00306 TAO
sn82 @compelleai - 0.00337 TAO
sn18 @zeussubnet - 0.00383 TAO
sn26 @perturbaix - 0.00391 TAO
for context: all of these are 4-5% the price of chutes, which is the highest-priced 10/10 subnet.
full list of 10/10 subnets per arbos is below. bittensor:native
