Getting started on Bittensor is easier with people nearby.
Bittensor is an open network where anyone can build, mine or validate. The documentation is public, but choosing a subnet or the right hardware is much easier with someone to ask.
Federation brings developers, AI engineers, researchers and students together in local hubs, so they can learn from each other and from people already building on Bittensor.
One network, local hubs
Federation provides the shared identity and network-wide programs such as the Global Summit Hackathon, with support from the Opentensor Foundation. Each hub is organized locally and shapes its own events.
What happens in a hub
Hubs organize meetups, technical learning sessions, workshops and hackathons, and they work with universities to reach students. Each hub keeps a community channel so people can keep helping each other between events.
Hubs are built for concrete progress, from a first meetup to running a miner on testnet and, later, prototyping a subnet with people you met along the way.
Who it is for
Developers, AI and ML engineers, researchers and technical students. You do not need to know Bittensor already, and experienced builders are just as welcome.
Federation and Opentensor
Federation is an initiative supported by the Opentensor Foundation. The Foundation backs the network and its global programs, while each hub is organized locally.

Where it is going
Federation starts with hubs in France, India and China. The network is designed to grow, and new hubs will be announced here once they are confirmed.
