Who we are

A Germany-based AI studio
with Mexican roots.

Aztecai GmbH is small, deliberate, and obsessive about quality. The name carries a Mexican founder's admiration for the Aztec engineers — same discipline, new tools.

Primer

What is Bittensor?

Bittensor is a decentralized AI network — a protocol where independent operators compete to provide the best machine intelligence, and are paid for it in TAO, the network's native token. Think of it as an open, permissionless marketplace for AI: anyone can plug in compute and models, anyone can consume the output.

01

Specialized subnets

The network is divided into subnets, each a self-contained AI market focused on one task — text generation, image synthesis, quantum simulation, drone autopilots, decentralized inference, and dozens more.

02

Miners do the work

Miners are operators who run the actual AI workload for a subnet — serving inference, training models, simulating circuits, generating images. They commit real compute (often GPU fleets) and compete on quality.

03

Validators score quality

Validators continuously test miners on benchmark tasks, score the results, and publish a quality ranking on-chain. The better a miner performs, the higher their weight in the subnet's ledger.

04

Top miners earn TAO

Every block (≈12 seconds), the Bittensor chain emits new tokens. Each subnet receives a share, which is then split among its miners proportional to validator-assigned scores. Better work, bigger reward.

THE ECONOMICS

Real compute, real demand, real value.

Since the dTAO upgrade (Feb 13, 2025), each subnet issues its own alpha token whose price floats against TAO based on supply and demand. Miners receive alpha for their work and can swap it back to TAO on-chain. TAO itself trades on major exchanges — connecting the network's machine-intelligence output to real capital markets. The harder and more useful the work, the more value flows back to the operators producing it.

Bittensor mining

Top-ranked miner on multiple subnets.

Aztecai operates production-grade Bittensor infrastructure across the network's most active AI subnets. We started mining in March 2024 on SN27 (Neural Internet) and have been ranked #1 ever since. We expanded to SN64 Chutes at its launch in December 2024, and have grown the footprint to 18 subnets in 2025 — every reward independently verifiable on-chain via TaoStats.

Meet the founder

From automotive cybersecurity to secure AI.

Jaime spent close to a decade building cybersecurity into safety-critical automotive systems — Project Security & Privacy Manager at Continental, cybersecurity consultant on ZF Friedrichshafen powertrain and Continental BCM/Infotainment programs. He is certified in applying ISO/SAE 21434 and UNECE WP.29/R155 to safety-critical products — and that discipline now shapes how AztecAI builds AI.

AztecAI works on two complementary fronts. Enterprise AI — secure, governed agents that automate workflows for clients, with compliance built in from day one. Decentralized AI — top-ranked mining operations across multiple Bittensor subnets, contributing compute and models to one of the most ambitious open-ML networks in existence.

He combines technical depth with direct business communication — earlier sales engineering with National Instruments and Schneider Electric, sharpened by an MBA from Warwick Business School. He works directly with every client. No middle layers, no junior handoffs.
