Responsibilities

Running a Bittensor Miner Node: Set up and operate a Bittensor mining node on your hardware (Linux-based). Your node will connect to a chosen subnet and generate AI outputs in response to requests (e.g. answer prompts, provide model inferences). This is an active and creative form of mining – your node is effectively a small AI server that contributes useful work to the network

Ensuring High-Quality Output: Continuously strive to produce accurate, relevant, and fast responses as required by the subnet’s task. Validators will test and score your node’s outputs, directly influencing your rewards. You may need to adjust models or settings to improve output quality over time

Maintaining Uptime and Performance: Keep your miner node running reliably 24/7. Bittensor is a competitive environment – if your performance falls too low compared to peers, your miner can be deregistered (removed) from the subnet and replaced by a new miner. To avoid this, you’ll monitor your node’s performance metrics (rank, trust scores, TAO emission rate) and optimize as needed, ensuring you meet or exceed the subnet’s standards

Selecting and Updating Models: (Optional but encouraged) Leverage machine learning frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow, etc.) to run or fine-tune models that are well-suited to your subnet’s task. Miners who can adapt or develop their own ML models for the task tend to be more competitive and achieve higher rewards. That said, pre-trained models and default scripts are available for those just starting out
