Decentralized AI Is Watching —And Understanding — everything
Bittensor subnet Score turns low-res sports footage into real-time intelligence, powering bets, ... More scouting and AI predictions across industries. Max Sebti wasn't trying to disrupt anything. He was trying to solve a problem. A sports hedge fund needed better data to place bets on global football. Traditional sources couldn't deliver the precision or speed required. So Sebti and his co-founders built their own solution — an AI system that could track movement on the field, model player behavior, and predict outcomes from video. What started as a client deliverable has grown into Score, Bittensor subnet 44, and one of the most ambitious computer vision projects in decentralized AI. 'We collect, we model, and we predict,' Sebti said in an interview. 'And we do it frame by frame.' Score turns video into structured intelligence. It works with low-quality footage, simulates alternate scenarios, and scores each player's impact on every phase of play. One betting syndicate is already convinced — allocating $300 million in assets under management based on Score's outputs this coming season. This isn't a startup hunting for use cases. It's producing revenue. Fast. In an interview, Score's co-founder and a seasoned tech executive Nigel Grant, said that's the point. 'What will matter to your survival in the decentralized AI, Bittensor community is the answer to the question, are you delivering revenue?' he said. 'Those that don't will be history.' The computer vision engine at the heart of Score started with sports, but the applications are much broader. Retail theft detection. Insurance disputes. Predictive diagnostics in healthcare. Anything with a camera becomes a potential use case. But sports remains the proving ground. Sebti says their biggest advantage is the ability to extract meaningful data from bad video. 'We brought the ability to get analysis on low-quality videos,' he said. 'That's what clubs are excited about—eyes on all the pitches where there's a camera.' And it's not just evaluation. It's valuation. With support from data scientist Peter Cotton, Score is developing a model that assigns a numerical value to each player's contribution in real time. 'We're looking at whether a player is giving a plus or minus contribution to the successful outcome of a move,' Grant said. 'Frame by frame.' Think Moneyball, on-chain. That performance data also opens the door to global scouting. Sebti said their system can ingest game footage from anywhere—remote pitches, amateur leagues, youth tournaments—and benchmark every player to the same standard. They've even brought in Arsenal's former international chief scout to help train the models. The goal is simple: track the signal, skip the noise. 'We're trying to abstract and quantify everything that can happen on the pitch,' Sebti said. 'And don't get biased by what we think.' Despite its novel technology, Score has a lot of company — Big Tech companies in particular — when it comes to competition within the AI visual intelligence arena. While each of these players has unique competitive advantages, they each were primarily built to function within centralized settings since that's still where most of the AI market resides. However, Score's open-source approach is intentional and unique. 'We want to be the optic nerve of AI,' Sebti said. 'We're going to allow everyone to plug their eyes into that.' That modular design means developers, researchers, and companies can layer on top of Score without rebuilding the core. The infrastructure is built. The models are training. The use cases are waiting. When asked what advice he'd give other founders considering decentralized AI, Sebti didn't hesitate. 'Pick Bittensor,' he said. 'Find an asymmetry—something extremely complex to solve but easy to verify. And embrace the feedback. Your incentives are aligned.' It's not theory. It's execution. And it's happening now.

All eyes on Mills in Maine Senate race
TOP LINE Democrats are eager to run for governor in Maine. For the Senate, not so much. The Democratic primary for the open Maine governor's mansion continues to attract some of the top political talent in the state, but the race against longtime Sen. Susan Collins is still mostly quiet. Democrats in the state insist there's no shortage of interest in challenging Collins, the perennially vulnerable but always victorious Republican. Rather, a number of prominent Democrats in Maine are considering a run, three strategists told Score. 'I think you will start seeing people jump into the Collins race,' said Adam Cote, a former gubernatorial candidate and longtime Democrat in the state. But what's the holdup? Democratic Gov. Janet Mills hasn't officially ruled out a run, but hasn't exactly expressed interest, either. 'At this moment, I don't plan to run for another office,' Mills told reporters in November. But she said in the same interview 'things change week to week, month to month.' Some Democratic strategists in the state are skeptical that Mills, 77, would ultimately want to run against Collins. But if she did, she'd be a formidable challenger, having won her last election in the state by 13 points. If she doesn't, Mills will go down this cycle as the Democratic equivalent to GOP Govs. Chris Sununu of New Hampshire and Brian Kemp of Georgia, both of whom passed on runs for upper chamber despite heavy recruitment efforts from their party. Meanwhile, as other contenders wait for their moment, Democrat Jordan Wood, the former chief of staff to former California Rep. Katie Porter, is raking in cash. Since launching his Senate campaign, Wood has raised $1 million despite this being his first attempt at public office. That number represents significant interest from donors to flip the seat, but it's just a drop in the bucket of the overall spending the race will surely attract. In a statement, the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee did not acknowledge the current candidate situation, instead pivoting to attacking Collins. 'Susan Collins is already facing backlash in Maine for her record of threatening Social Security and Medicare, allowing chaotic tariffs that hurt Maine's economy and spike costs, and being the deciding vote for the justices who overturned Roe v. Wade,' DSCC spokesperson Maeve Coyle said in a statement. 'Mainers know Susan Collins isn't standing up for them, and in 2026, they will hold her accountable for selling them out.' The lack of well-known names to take on Collins is starting to worry some in the state. Steve Collins, a longtime local journalist-turned-columnist, is asking for one of the many gubernatorial candidates — Angus King III, son of independent Sen. Angus King — to switch races. 'This political newcomer could show that he's more than just a name by taking on a bigger role for his party and challenging U.S. Sen. Susan Collins,' Collins wrote in the Portland Press Herald earlier this month. 'To be a good governor, someone ought to have a keen understanding of state government before landing in the Blaine House,' he continued. 'To be a good senator? You just need common sense, keen political instincts and to read a decent newspaper from time to time.' Following a number of unfavorable recent polls for Collins — including one in which just 21 percent of respondents said she deserved another term in office — Democrats think it could finally be their moment. 'Collins has done very well every cycle at different times,' Cote said. 'So early indications are that it's a bit different this time, whether it is or not, time will tell.' Happy Monday.

OFF TO THE RACES — Army and Navy Veteran Tripp Adams is joining the growing Democratic field in Michigan's 10th District, currently held by Rep. John James (R-Mich.).
