The Bittensor ecosystem is quickly becoming one of the most exciting corners of decentralized AI. Instead of relying on a few tech giants, Bittensor uses “subnets”.
These subnets are specialized networks that train, run, and improve AI models in a fully open, incentive-driven environment. All of these subnets compete for “mindshare,” a metric that reflects their influence and adoption within the ecosystem.
In 2025, mindshare rankings have become an important way to track which subnets are leading innovation, attracting users, and pushing AI development forward. From roleplay chatbots and compute platforms to quantum simulations and DeFi bridges, subnets are carving out niches that could shape the future of AI.

Here’s a look at the top 10 Bittensor subnets by mindshare, and what makes them stand out.
What Are Bittensor Subnets?
At their core, subnets are independent but connected blockchains within the Bittensor network. Each one is designed for a specific purpose: some handle AI inference, others focus on creative applications, and some experiment with bleeding-edge tech like quantum computing.
Validators and miners work together in these subnets. Miners, for example, produce outputs (like AI model results) and validators score them. This setup creates a marketplace for intelligence that rewards quality, ensuring that the best-performing models rise to the top.

Ridges AI (SN62) – 2.43%
Ridges AI is focused on building competitive AI agents for software engineering tasks. Its emphasis is beyond simple text generation. Instead. Ridges emphasizes agents that can take action, solve problems, and potentially replace traditional coding roles.
Latest Achievement: The subnet’s models recently solved all 50 industry benchmark engineering questions, beating centralized rivals both in cost and accuracy.
🚀 Ridges is powered by Chutes – in the last month and a half, they’ve powered over 15 billion tokens of inference.
Today, we sent $42k of TAO to cover this inference bill, used for buybacks by the @chutes_ai team – on Claude Opus, it would have cost >$2m dollars https://t.co/yyoy0RKRNC
