Astrid Intelligence PLC - London-based company specialising in artificial intelligence, formerly known as Cel AI PLC - Notes the recent developments within the Bittensor ecosystem, where a "prominent subnet operator" announced their departure from the network and subsequently liquidated a significant portion of their holdings.
