Episode notes
Gravity's Enormous Data Power
- Subnet 13, renamed Gravity, scrapes vast social media data, now at 21 billion rows, 15 times larger than the next biggest.
- It predicted the recent US election results by analyzing 2 billion tweets with sentiment analysis for real-time insights.
Incentive-Driven Real-Time Data
- By assigning importance to hashtags, Gravity's miners compete to collect targeted, clean, and deduplicated real-time social media data.
- This allows for an incentive-driven data pipeline that effectively checks the pulse of the internet to the second.
Democratizing Massive Data Access
- Subnet 13 dwarfs other data sets by 30 to 40 times and offers diverse use cases beyond AI training.
- It democratizes data access for journalism, market research, forecasting, and trading signals within the BitTensor ecosystem.
