Meta acquired Scale AI for $14 bil and now @a16zcrypto just backed crypto-native competitor Poseidon @psdnai with a $15M raise. 👀 AI is going to the physical world and it needs training data, the biggest bottleneck today. That's why @StoryProtocol incubated Poseidon to make available such data while ensuring IP safety. AI compute and models are a multi-trillion dollar market that has one big gap: data! ▫️ GPUs: Nvidia + AMD = $4 trillion ▫️ Models: OpenAI + Anthropic + xAI = $500 billion Poseidon aims to plug that gap and represents what Scale would’ve been if it ran onchain, globally. The battle for data has started. This is a major win for crypto with Poseidon and Story Protocol leading the adoption for licensed and rights-cleaned data that can be monetized onchain.
