Emergent Methods

Contrary to popular belief, the latest AI tools are stymieing misinformation rather than facilitating it. The Center for Autonomy at The University of Texas at Austin recently published their research into misinformation detection where they improved the detection of misinformation by 26% over previous state of the art methods. How did they do it? CrediRAG - it leverages AskNews and Qdrant for fast and accurate retrieval of carefully indexed news in combination with a graph attention network. 1. Input a Reddit Post: We take any Reddit post and pass it through AskNews. 2. Retrieve Relevant News: AskNews scours its expansive Qdrant database for enriched news articles that match the post’s content and conform to time/reporting voice filters. 3. Compare and Classify: The retrieved articles are compared against the original post to classify it as factual or misinformative. Doing this type of backtesting and real-time analysis *at scale* across millions of news articles demands high-throughput and precision from Qdrant + AskNews. This would have been unimaginable just 24 months ago, but now it all sits behind a python SDK in the cloud.

Make Bootstrapping Cool Again ?? . We are so proud to serve our 1500+ AskNews users without sacrificing our commitment to research, transparency, and quality. What does bootstrapping look like for small startups in AI? Here is our journey from 0 -> 1500+ users, 0->20 on-premise servers*, 0->10 product offerings, 0->6 open-sourced** models on huggingface, 0->12 academic publications***, 0->4 great advisors, 0->8 great partners *???????????? ????-??????????????: ???????? ???? ?? **???????????? ????????-????????????: ???????????? ???????????????? ?? ***???????????? ??????????????????????: ???????????????????? ?? Most importantly: 5 team members -> same 5 team members...(what does it mean when no one at a startup is leaving despite taking a terrible salary?) All without a penny of investment ?? The beauty of bootstrapping is that we don't have to sacrifice our commitment to transparency that our 1500+ users love. Passion >> Funding It ain't easy. We've had plenty of buyout/investment offers along the way, but they don't share the vision: "Why would you open-source your tools?" "Why would you tell everyone how you process the data?" "Why do you spend so much money on research/quality?" Two words. Trust, Transparency. Meanwhile, our advisors, (Paco Nathan, Jon Accarrino, Chris Evans, Sumon Sadhu) continue to encourage our commitment to trust and transparency. Advisors >> investors.
