what's General Tensor?

General Tensor is a vertically integrated infrastructure provider operating at the intersection of blockchain, AI, and data centers. It builds and operates mining, validation, and subnet infrastructure within the Bittensor ecosystem, a decentralized machine intelligence network. As one of the largest validators (formerly RoundTable21), it supports nearly every subnet, incubates new ones through incentive design and go-to-market strategies, and employs senior AI engineers to mine intelligence across high-skill subnets. The company accelerates Bittensor adoption by developing core inputs like data infrastructure, scalable inference engines, and compute resources via data center partnerships aiming for up to 1 GigaWatt capacity. It also builds and acquires applications such as Project Rubicon and 0xMarkets to drive user growth and provide capital exposure to decentralized intelligence production.

General Tensor raised $5M in pre-seed/seed funding led by Lvna Capital for decentralized AI.
