Sapien Weekly Digest

Hey there, Sapiens!

Another week down, and the network just keeps growing stronger. Whether you’re tagging images in Nairobi or validating logic paths in Hanoi, your contributions are shaping how machines learn. Here’s everything new across Sapien this week.

What we’ve been up to

Leaderboard. Check where you’re standing on our Sapien Leaderboard! You can now track your performance and see how you stack up against other contributors across the globe.

New Support System. All support requests now go through one simple form for faster, clearer help. This means streamlined tracking, quicker responses, and better visibility for every contributor.

Task Overview.
A new week means new and old challenges. Here’s what’s live right now:

🍳 Breakfast Image Upload

🚀 What’s New

• Batch Task Completion - You can now complete and claim rewards in batches, improving speed and flow.

• Monthly Leaderboard + Pagination - Making global rankings easier to explore.

• Multiplier Update - Your streak length now directly affects your multiplier.

• Smarter Dashboard Performance - Faster task refreshes and better load handling at scale.

These changes are part of our long-term plan to make the tagger experience frictionless, transparent, and rewarding.

Our Voices in the World.

What data an AI model trains on and where this data comes from is one of the big questions of the day. Check out our Head of Product Lauren Mushro’s Ph.D researcher’s perspective on the topic here: Who Trained Your AI? Inside the Global Data Supply Chain

What you have achieved

Proof of Quality. Proof of Quality ensures that every person is able to contribute knowledge and verify other contributions. We might have had a busy week, but you certainly have too! Over the past weeks, we’ve continued to see you tagging, verifying, and staking to continuously build the foundation of safer and more transparent AI models.

We've seen a lot of movement around the Chain of Thought reasoning tasks in particular, with over 40,000 tags across the three difficulties in just this week.

Thanks to your efforts, leading organizations use Sapien to power data collaboration, human-AI alignment, and secure task processing at scale for transparent and verifiable AI outcomes.

Why we’re doing this

Because the news just doesn't stop… 

Between the billions of dollars put into new data centres, the media spotlight chases models while broken data underpins most errors you read about.

Every AI mishap, whether that’s  hallucinations, bias, or misclassifications, traces back to data decay, misalignment, or mislabeling.

Just within the last week, multiple major tech firms have implemented or are planning job cuts attributed in part to AI adoption, automation pressures, or cost efficiencies.

As regulation tightens, inability to explain or trace data lineage will become public focus.

Where are we going

Sapien Monthly Digest. We’re planning on setting up a community focused presentation for the end of the month on our community Discord! Bring your questions, feedback, and ideas - this will be an open session for all contributors.

Stay tuned for the official date announcement in our Discord.

Your knowledge powers the network. Take the next step and grow with us. Stake, contribute, and climb the leaderboard.
