Kled AI

say hi to kled v3, the data collection layer for agi. any dataset a lab can describe, collected from the real world by 500,000 people in under 72 hours.

Kled has registered over 15 million file records on the Trace Audit Portal in just a few days. Four multi billion dollar frontier AI labs have already begun using Trace to verify the integrity and provenance of Kled's data before making purchases. This is only the beginning. The Data Foundation will continue expanding the system until every file on Kled is fully auditable on chain. Live here: trace.datafdn.org/audit/kled

Kled is coming to android. Pre-registration live today on the Google Play Store: play.google.com/store/apps/d… The most requested addition to the company since we launched the app a few months ago. This update should greatly increase Kled’s market share and will be followed with a Web / PC release as well.

We are beyond excited to announce that Yash Sahay who served as the Director of Engineering at Meta Superintelligence Labs has joined Kled as an investor. Yash will play a pivotal role in helping guide our data quality pipeline to match the needs of all the major frontier models and labs as we continue to increase the size of our data contracts.

Kled the leading human data marketplace has officially partnered with The DATA Foundation to onboard over 1.5 billion user records on chain. We've spent the last 3 months working directly with some of the leading foundation models and labs. The single biggest point of discussion was trust. Labs have 0 room for error and consumer data is the single largest but also most sensitive data type on the planet. Labs need two things before confidently purchasing a dataset. 1. A clean audit record: end-to-end receipts, consent forms, and proof of payment. They need to fully trust that data uploaded on the marketplace can confidently be licensed without consumers introducing risk into training pipelines. 2. Full confidence that the data on our marketplace is original. Not pirated, not AI generated. They need to fully trust that data uploaded is real human unaltered content that can significantly enhance a training pipeline. We've been hugely against 99% of all blockchain offerings that have come our way, but things aligned way too well here and we found a unique opportunity to build something great. Kled will be moving its full audit rails onto DATA Network, backed by a16z crypto, Polychain, and other top VCs. The instant a user uploads data to our platform we create an anonymized receipt that is automatically sent to the TRACE (demo video, live links, and more in the post below). The content hash ID, signed consent forms, full payment record, and end-to-end timestamps. Any AI lab can now verify the legitimacy of any dataset in seconds, making us the first data marketplace in history to publicize its data audit records. Consumer identities are fully anonymized and hidden, no users will be exposed in the process. To add to this Kled will also be supporting USDC payouts on DATA Network. This will be alongside other stablecoin options rolling out with our existing fiat payouts. All of this will be fully auditable on DATA Network as well. Lastly Kled and The DATA Foundation will be pooling its efforts to create the world’s best fraud detection protocol. We will be allocating the majority of our time/resources towards creating this, labs need to trust our data and the creation of AGI will be a function of this trust. I'm also joining The DATA Foundation with a Part Time Advisor Role as the Chief Data Officer, where I’ll be advising the foundation team to make sure the Trace audit product reflects what AI labs actually need to license data with confidence. The DATA Foundation's audit / licensing rails and Kled's data marketplace are complimentary in nature, labs need both. Kled is the largest contributor to that audit layer so we have the most skin in the game to get this product right. Every effort described here will create a safer future for consumers and labs. We are here to set the gold standard for trust and nothing will stray us away from this goal. Onward.

Introducing Kled-FD 0.1, the world's best fraud detection and dataset cleaning pipeline. The first all in one system capable of detecting AI generated content, near duplicates, stolen and plagiarized media, screenshots, manipulated and spliced content, NSFW and explicit material, minors and age sensitive content, sensitive and harmful content, and coordinated behavioral fraud rings. Kled-FD 0.1 has been battle tested across 1.2 billion uploads on Kled's data marketplace and is actively running quality checks on over 5 million uploads per day across image, video, audio, and text. Public benchmarks will be released soon. This is the first real step toward making data quality enforcement a humanless process.

Thank you for having me on the podcast @Jason and @alex. Genuinely refreshing, and thank you for supporting us.

LazarBeam has just invested into Kled. 23 million subscribers, one of the biggest YouTubers of all time, and someone I personally watched relentlessly growing up. Welcome to the cap table Lannan. He will be joining, Diplo, PandaBoi, 24kGolden, and all the other creatives who have angel invested in Kled. Proud to have you join us.

Kled is partnering with Vanta and Workstreet to build automated SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and GDPR compliance infrastructure for our marketplace. Most data marketplaces stop at SOC 2. We are implementing all four major compliance frameworks, the highest level of compliance infrastructure reasonably available to a company at our stage. This means Kled can fully process, package, and process any type of user data: safely, consensually, and at scale. The leading AI labs and enterprise customers don't just want good data. They want data they can stake their models and products on. Enterprise contracts and institutional buyers require this infrastructure before serious conversations can happen. We're building it now so it's never the reason a deal doesn't close in the future. The data marketplace that wins long term is the one labs and enterprises trust most.

Kled has has 4 record user signup days in a row. We've offically ranked top 100 in the app store in over 82 countries. The United States constitutes our second most downloaded region where we almost crossed the top 100 on the app store finance charts (rank 162). Our overall fraud rate has fallen to a below 13% average, across 1 billion uploads. We have purged and deleted all 68 million uploads from Nigerian users (this data was never sent to any AI labs or entities and Nigerian users keep their payouts). Our support ticket volume has dropped 34% thanks to in-app improvements, even as our user base has scaled significantly. Our app reviews have remained and climbed to a 4.9 star ranking in new developing regions like Indonesia. With an overall 4.6 star ranking across thousands of reviews. Over 60% of new signups are coming from direct referrals, users bringing in users. Our average user completes their first upload within 2 minutes of creating an account.

Kled just entered voice. Users can record and upload real-world speech, capturing tone, accent, emotion, and context in a way models can actually learn from. We’ll initially support multilingual uploads across: Malay (Bahasa Malaysia), Indonesian (Bahasa Indonesia), and Filipino/Tagalog. Voice is one of the most under-collected, high-value data types in AI today. Accents, tone, emotion, environment. This is the layer models still struggle with. All voice data will be packaged and sold to leading voice foundation model teams, both directly and through our distribution partners. We’ve designed 50 starter tasks, rolling out in our V3 update, so users can start contributing immediately.

There's been a long-held assumption that gig work is for lower-income households. We're watching that change in real time with Kled. We survey 5,000 users every month. Middle-income users have grown from 2.2% at launch to nearly 6%. Steady, consistent, and still climbing. As we've made the platform more frictionless, it makes sense. The effort-to-earning ratio on Kled is fundamentally different from Uber, Fiverr, or anything else out there. We think Kled's live to earn experience can comfortably own more of the gig economy than any other platform, across every income bracket.

Almost 1 year since Kled launched. Here's a full chart showing daily uploads our platform has processed over time. We're comfortably on track to do 5 billion uploads this year.

We've done 6 million views per week with 0 marketing spend in just Asia alone. Our affiliate system has motivated thousands of people to make posts on X, Threads, TikTok, Instagram, Reddit, etc. We are permanently increasing our affiliate system payout rate from this date forward. Refer your friends and now earn off of their uploads. The best contributors are rewarded the most.

We have conquered Asia. Over the last few days Kled has hit #1 on the App store finance charts in Malaysia, Indonesia, and Philippines. We've run a risk analysis on over 400 million data uploads from these regions, and have found these to be some of our highest quality unloaders. Thank you to all our users out there, and keep uploading great content. We've tripled our payouts for the next 1 week in celebration.

the kled app has been fully gamified. we’re introducing the level system. the higher your level the better tasks and pay you have access to. earn xp through achievements, daily upload streaks, converting your kled balance, and more. we’ve made the app more engaging than ever. this will be the biggest update we've ever done.

Thank you for the coverage @guardian theguardian.com/technology/2…
