Introduction

IMPORTANT: If you are new to Bittensor, please checkout the Bittensor Website before proceeding to the Setup section.

Setup

Before you proceed

Before you proceed with the installation of the subnet, note the following:

We strongly recommend before proceeding that you test both subtensor and all API keys. Ensure you are running Subtensor locally to minimize chances of outages and improve the latency/connection.

API Key Requirements

API requirements for this subnet are constantly evolving as we seek to meet the demands of the users and stay up to date with the latest developements. The current key requirements are as follows:

• OpenAI key (GPT)
• Google API key (Gemini)
• Anthropic API key (Claude3)
• Groq API key (Llama, Gemini, Mistral)
• AWS Acces key and Secret key (Bedrock models)
• Pixabay API key

Please test the API keys from .env.example with test_scripts/t2t/ before starting the miner/validator. Detailed instructions on how to aquire the API keys below.

Requesting Access for AWS Bedrock Models

5. Submit a Request

• Complete any forms or questionnaires provided to describe your intended use of AWS Bedrock models.
• Submit the request for review.

6. Wait for Approval

• AWS will review your request. This can take some time depending on the specifics of your request and the current availability of AWS Bedrock.

Installation

Before starting make sure update your system and have pm2 installed to run the scripts in the background.

apt update -y && apt-get install git -y && apt install python3-pip -y

Download the repository, navigate to the folder and then create virtual env and install the necessary requirements with the following chained command.

git clone https://github.com/corcel-api/cortex.t.git && cd cortex.t && pip3 install -e .

Prior to proceeding, ensure you have a registered hotkey on subnet 18 mainnet. If not, run the command

btcli s register --netuid 18 --wallet.name [wallet_name] --wallet.hotkey [wallet.hotkey]

After installing it, copy env.example to .env and substitute all env vars with values appropriate for your accounts.

Mining

step1.

go to cortext/constants.py and change bandwidth_to_model value as per limit of api. currently we support only 3 models: "gpt-4o", "claude-3-5-sonnet-20240620", "llama-3.1-70b-versatile". so don't add more than that. You can launch your miners via python3 using the following command.

bash start_miner.sh

Validating

Login to wandb using

wand login

You can launch your validator using following command

pm2 start start_validator.py --interpreter python3 -- --wallet_name "default" --wallet_hotkey "default" --subtensor.chain_endpoint <URL here> --autoupdate --wandb_on
