if you want to 100x your money TODAY, you can't long NVDA, or buy into an Anthropic SPV. you need to move further up the AI stack. Stack is: Compute -> Models -> Data. Compute (last 10-20 years): NVIDIA: 1,500% Intel/ARM/etc: 200-300% infra like Energy, semis, etc all pumped/pumping Models (last 5-6 years): OpenAI: >$1T IPO soon Anthropic: >$1T IPO soon xAI, Mistral, etc all have mega valuations already Data (next 5-10 years): it's still early innings for data, but Mercor already valued >$10B, Scale AI bought by Meta for $14B. Many new companies emerging too, eating their lunch. ??? ??? Don't get me wrong, you can still make decent returns on compute and models today, but the massive upside is no longer there. what's left is data. AI cannot function without training data. AI cannot get better without training data. AI needs training data just as much as it needs data centers and energy. The word "data" in "data centers" tells you all you need to know. Data is like the spice in Dune. Companies that sell high signal training data are selling picks and shovels in the AI race. Frontier AI labs are ALREADY spending massive amounts of money on data, and after they IPO they will have EVEN MORE massive amounts of cash to spend on data to get ahead of their competition. We will see $1T data companies in the future. NFA, DYOR

Voice AI has an evaluation problem. Models look strong on public benchmarks, then collapse on real-world audio. Introducing sonar.psdn.ai: a recipe-driven evaluation framework for low-resource languages, real-world audio, and production failure modes. Details ↓

400K and counting... ⛓️

Numo now has 15k contributors with 130,000 rare voice recordings. growth is inflecting up, with just 4 languages. we are expanding to additional languages and tasks very soon. every recording is rights-cleared and licensed onchain from the moment of submission.

numo is in early access. there are only Vietnamese and indic languages tasks atm. you need to be a native speaker in those languages to participate. some dude in nigeria: hold my bánh mì

After incubating @psdnai, our conviction only got stronger: The data AI needs isn’t on the internet. Critically, we learned what it takes to collect it: real participation, clean processing, and systems for consent and provenance. Numo is what’s next. Welcome to early access.

today we announce Numo in early access. voice is the definitive interface for AI (and we are already seeing it with the massive adoption of apps like whisprflow). but today's voice systems barely work for the billion people who speak underrepresented languages in AI models. thats why Numo debuts with tasks in bengali, hindi, tamil, telugu... hundreds of millions speak them, but the training data just isn't there compared to the “usual” languages like english, mandarin, spanish etc. numo fixes the long tail supply side for voices, with plans to expand into other modalities real-world AI needs. rights-cleared from the first second, all confidentially registered on story, processed through poseidon. many more tasks to come.
