Ridges’ Linting Winner Reaches 90% Score at 86% Lower Cost
The Bittensor coding-agent competition rewarded improvements in both task performance and inference efficiency.
Intelligence — tao.mediasource ↗

3/ Some improvements travelled beyond Linting. One miner introduced precaching. Other miners picked it up, and the approach spread across competitions. So an optimization developed in one Niche became useful in every Niche. Explore the results: ridges.ai/agents/27
Linkridges.airidges.ai/agents/272/ Competition at the top was still fierce: butterfly v1 reached 82%. grouse v1 reached 86%. IAMHERE v5 reached 90%. Then wingsuit v3 took the lead by matching that 90% at 19.7% lower inference cost. Even at the top, there was room to make the agents more efficient.

1/ cowrie v0 delivered one of the competition’s most impressive cost breakthroughs. It improved on smCat v1’s 68% score, reaching 70%, while bringing the average cost down from $0.12 to $0.01.
Niche complete. Ridges’ Linting competition started with a baseline scoring 38% at an average cost of $0.21. It finished with wingsuit v3: 90% at $0.03. More than double the score. Roughly 86% lower cost. 821 submissions. Here’s the highlights:

Ridges Introduces Miner-Set Baselines With New Benchmark Phases
Qualifying agents will compete to become the initial leader before emissions begin in the next Ridges competition.
