Over the past few weeks, Trishool(SN23) has accomplished so much, and we are just getting started. The goal remains to build a stronger safety layer for frontier AI and improve the guard models that protect real-world AI deployments. Now we’d like to introduce the team behind the work. Meet @xnavkumar, co-founder and CEO of Astroware, co-founder of Trishool, and one of the builders behind Halo. Nav is a builder and operator. Before Astroware, he spent 14 years at Oracle, rising to VP and Head of Digital Products. He delivered enterprise projects with budgets above $100M, later led data monetisation strategy at Lloyds Banking Group, and joined the founding team of a challenger business bank at Nationwide. He is also a second-time founder. Before Trishool and Astroware, Nav co-founded Metaphy Labs with Preetham Sathyamurthy. Metaphy Labs was acquired by JetSynthesys in 2024. He is proof that Trishool is being built by people who understand both frontier AI safety and enterprise deployment. “We came for AI trust. We stayed for AI safety. Trishool is what we built.” This is the first post in our founder introduction series. More team announcements are coming soon.

@trishoolai congrats team!

We are pleased to announce that Trishool (SN23) has been officially accepted into the Claude Partner Network by Anthropic. This marks a major milestone in our commercial growth. As an AI security startup, we provide more than infrastructure. We deliver expert advisory and consulting services that help enterprises deploy frontier AI safely and at scale. That commitment is what earned us this partnership. The timing couldn’t be better better. Enterprises are rapidly deploying Claude in production environments, and production-grade AI requires a robust security layer. That is exactly where Halo, our battle-tested guard model, comes in. Claude Partner status gives us the credibility, visibility, and network access needed to position Halo at the center of serious enterprise AI deployments.

@proofoftalk is the event we look forward to most, and this year was the best yet. Our third year in attendance and, our second year as Platinum sponsors. Congrats to the @proofoftalk and @XVentures_Fund team for building the world's #1 Bittensor gathering. Your service to Bittensor does not go unnoticed... Thank you, from all of us at GT. #ProofOfTalk

This is what Day 2 looks like in the afternoon. The conversations that started yesterday have turned into business today. The lunch with @SpectrumNodes was the room's senior names at the same table. The Main Stage is full again. The room feels exactly the way we hoped.

We focus on making Halo SOTA because it guards against the real-world threats that hit companies when their AI breaks. 15 threat categories cause real incidents in production, and Halo ships a constitution for each, enforced on every prompt, response, and agent action. These

We’re delighted to welcome back @generaltensor as a Platinum Sponsor of the Bittensor Track at Proof of Talk. Formerly General TAO Ventures, General Tensor was the first supporter of the Bittensor Track back in 2024. We were fortunate to be close to them from the start, and they

The Bittensor Track at Proof of Talk We’ve been close to Bittensor since 2023. What started as curiosity quickly turned into conviction. At @XVentures_Fund, the venture studio behind Proof of Talk, that conviction began with capital. Then we started mining subnets; including @gradients_ai, @taoshiio, and @affine_io. The deeper we got, the more obvious it became: Bittensor is not just another crypto. It's a permissionless market for coordinating intelligence, pulling thousands of leading minds across the globe towards the same frontier: the open production of value. By the end of 2024, it was clear this could not stay confined to niche rooms and Discord channels. So we brought it to the Louvre. We built the Bittensor Track. It put the leaders of the ecosystem in front of major allocators and investors at the frontier of decentralised technology. @BarrySilbert used the stage to announce Yuma Asset Management. @const_reborn registered Affine in the speaker prep room and announced it on stage minutes later. Every session, packed. The reception went far beyond what we could have anticipated. The room felt less like a conference track than a crucible for the open intelligence economy. A gathering of minds, both builders and investors, inside the Louvre, all circling the same question: What happens when intelligence is no longer owned by a handful of companies, but coordinated and incentivised by an open network? And this year, we're back. Sixteen sessions across two days. June 2–3 The Louvre, Paris Bittensor Track at Proof of Talk Full program below ↓
