NEAR is taking AI innovation in a completely different direction. 👀
@ilblackdragon, co-founder of @NEAR Protocol , has launched Delta League — a public competition where anyone can improve open AI models by editing their weights.
Here’s what makes it interesting:
🔹 Every submission is evaluated against a hidden test set. 🔹 Verified improvements remain open for others to build upon. 🔹 The current challenge uses Qwen3.5 0.8B. 🔹 Five verified edits have already pushed its score from 18.6% to 19%.
And this is just the beginning.
Support for modifying model architectures and custom business testing is expected in the coming days, with @near_ai powering the platform.
The bigger vision? Turning AI development into an open, collaborative competition where improvements are shared rather than locked away.
NEAR isn't just exploring AI applications. It's helping build the infrastructure for open AI evolution.
$NEAR is getting another compelling narrative. 🔥
