"It's only as good as the data it has access to."

Arjun Kalsy from Covalent on why model quality may stop being the defining moat sooner than expected.

As model weights converge and capabilities begin to level out, the real competitive edge shifts toward the quality, depth, and ownership of data.

From Cluster Roundtable: Open Source at the Model Layer.

Everyone wants verifiable AI, but who's actually paying for it?

Season 2 of the Cluster Roundtable opens Friday.

TEEs, zk proofs, onchain execution. The tech works. Whether anyone is actually buying it yet is less clear.

On the panel:

🔹 Xavier Xia, Co-founder and DevRel at Primus Labs
🔹 Mike Hanono, Founder and CEO at Talus Labs
🔹 Mr Potato, Community Coordinator at NEAR Protocol
🔹 George V, Strategic Partnerships Lead at 0G Labs
🔹 Tristan, Co-founder and CEO at Elfa AI

🎙️ Hosted by Anjali, Marketing Head at Cluster Protocol

🗓 Friday 14 Aug, 2pm UTC.

Cluster is the orchestration layer for autonomous work. Models, agents and workflows managed together, with CodeXero turning a prompt into a working dapp on Base.

Prom is building the programmable economic layer for work that spans services, rails and chains.

It runs both ways. Prom’s ecosystem gets agents and workflows that coordinate properly, and orchestrated work gets another environment it can travel into without falling apart at the edge.

Everyone's building a data marketplace. Why doesn't anyone use them?

The Cluster Roundtable is back this Friday.

Storage, tokenization, pricing, provenance. The engineering is done. The demand side is where the next year gets decided.

On the panel:

🔹 Rowan Stone, Co-founder, CEO, Sapien
🔹 David Arnež, Co-Founder and CEO, Inflectiv AI
🔹 Zane, Business Development Lead, MOSS
🔹 Janesh Balchandani, Head of Developer Relations, Pharos
