Affine Subnet Grapples with Scoring Changes, Infrastructure Issues
Share
Affine introduced a new Terminel evaluation environment designed to prevent benchmark gaming through procedural task generation and real Docker execution. However, the subnet is experiencing operational friction: miners report the `af` CLI not working, champion model went cold for ~50 minutes due to a TEE migration config issue (now being resolved), and concerns about unfair scoring concentration. Team introduced penalty system for deliberately cold chutes and is investigating sampling speed bottlenecks affecting task difficulty.
- •New Terminel environment launched with infinite procedural tasks, Docker-based execution, anti-gaming design
- •Champion model cold ~50 mins during TEE migration; config issue identified and fix underway
- •af CLI and validator issues reported; chain data problems found and investigated
- •Slow sampling rate limiting task difficulty progression and miner advancement rates
- •Miners requesting fairer incentive distribution; team considering policy adjustments
