Chutes team discusses dTAO economics and model deployment

Team members debated dTAO token viability, noting that despite strong APY (40%), investors avoid purchasing dTAO due to chain decay mechanics and prefer holding underlying BT instead. Post-scam sentiment has shifted funding away from dTAO to traditional web2 raises. Separately, warmup logging improvements were shipped and a user reported 500 errors deploying models larger than 96GB.
