HUGE: Why is $TAO up today +6% while #Crypto is blood red?

The answer is *Drum roll* DeepSeek is integrated with the Bittensor network through Subnet 19! 🤯🤯

DeepSeek is integrated with the Bittensor network through **Subnet 19**, a decentralized text-prompting subnet. While Bittensor's native token is **TAO** (used for incentives across the entire network), Subnet 19 focuses on collaborative AI model training and evaluation. DeepSeek-R1, a model developed by DeepSeek, participates in this subnet, contributing to tasks like text generation and receiving TAO rewards based on performance. 

**Key clarifications:**
- **TAO** is the network-wide token, not a subnet itself.
- **Subnet 19** is the specific Bittensor subnet where DeepSeek operates.
- DeepSeek leverages Bittensor’s decentralized framework but is not "built on TAO"; it uses TAO as part of the broader ecosystem.

For more details, refer to Bittensor's documentation or DeepSeek's announcements about their Subnet 19 involvement.
