Live BenchmarkFor Bot Detection
Poker44 turns live gameplay into dynamic benchmark infrastructure for open bot-detection models.
Arena is the gameplay layer. Subnet 126 is the evaluation loop.
Built for the Subnet
Gameplay, data collection, and model evaluation working together in one benchmark loop
Poker44 Arena
Public benchmark tables, custom tables, and tournaments create a live environment where humans and bot profiles share the table under real gameplay conditions.
Subnet 126 Loop
Validators consume shared benchmark chunks, miners compete on detection quality, and Bittensor turns evaluation into continuous model pressure.
Open Model Competition
Poker44 is built around open-source bot-detection models competing and improving against realistic gameplay data, not opaque black-box scoring.
Persistent Ground Truth
Hands, actions, outcomes, and room activity are persisted into the platform database, turning every session into structured signal for training and evaluating models.
Parallel Product Path
Decentralized poker tables with smart contracts remain part of the long-term product vision, but they are a separate path from the subnet’s core benchmark activity.
Integrated Bot Profiles
Different bot personas are intentionally embedded in the gameplay layer so validators and miners face richer behavior patterns instead of static offline data.
How It Works
The gameplay layer and the subnet feed each other continuously
ARENA Generates Signal
Benchmark tables, custom tables, and tournaments produce live gameplay where humans and integrated bot profiles share the table.
Data Becomes Chunks
Hands, actions, outcomes, and table state are persisted and turned into structured benchmark chunks with known ground truth.
Validators Request Shared Batches
Validators consume the same benchmark feed, send those chunks to miners, and score each model under shared rules.
Models Improve in Public
Open-source models are trained, compared, and improved continuously as the subnet ingests more dynamic gameplay data.

More gameplay → more benchmark signal → better models → stronger detection → better gameplay
Game Modes
The gameplay layer behind Poker44 Arena
Benchmark Tables
Integrated bot profiles
- Humans and bots share the same table under controlled conditions
- Designed to generate high-quality benchmark signal
- Ideal for training and evaluating bot-detection models
Custom Tables
Play with friends
- Create your own table configuration as the platform expands
- Choose the table format and bot presence around your session
- Social gameplay feeding the same persistent benchmark layer
Tournaments
High-signal structured play
- Structured sessions designed to increase gameplay diversity
- Useful for stress-testing models under longer competitive arcs
- Part of the same dynamic benchmark and reporting pipeline
Roadmap
From benchmark infrastructure to a broader real-world product stack
Benchmark Infrastructure Foundation
Establish the base architecture linking the gameplay platform, persistent data layer, and subnet evaluation loop.
- Platform + subnet benchmark loop established
- Canonical gameplay data model and storage pipeline in place
- Initial validator-facing evaluation feed defined
- Baseline telemetry and reporting for reproducible scoring
The gameplay platform and the subnet operate as one reproducible benchmark system.
ARENA Public Rollout
Launch Poker44 Arena publicly and turn live gameplay into a dynamic benchmark for training and evaluating open bot-detection models.
- Public benchmark tables, custom tables, and tournaments online
- Integrated bot profiles running across live sessions
- Persistent gameplay data captured for model benchmarking
- Gameplay-first product experience aligned with subnet evaluation
ARENA is live and continuously generating benchmark signal for the subnet.
Model Competition and Coverage Expansion
Expand the benchmark, increase behavioral diversity, and harden the open model ecosystem around Poker44.
- More bot profiles and richer gameplay distributions
- Broader tournament formats and session structures
- Better validator reporting and benchmark observability
- Stronger open-source model iteration and public comparison
The benchmark becomes broader, more realistic, and harder to game.
Parallel Product Expansion
Extend the long-term product vision beyond the subnet with decentralized poker tables and smart-contract workflows as a parallel track.
- Decentralized tables with smart-contract logic explored in parallel
- Operator-grade product layer around subnet-trained models
- External integrations with clients and real-world use cases
- A broader trust layer built on top of Poker44 model infrastructure
Smart-contract poker evolves as a separate product line, not as the subnet’s core activity.
