📢 Quick Announcement – Emotion Recognition Prompt QA

Hey ,

We need your help to validate English audio prompts. Check each recording against these basics:

Clear speech, exact script match
Correct emotion (happy, sad, frustrated, etc.)
No echo, background noise, or distortion
Consistent volume, human‑recorded .wav file
When you approve or reject a clip, add a short 1‑5 word note (e.g., “clear”, “noise”).

For full guidelines, see the Notion page: https://www.notion.so/Emotion-Recognition-Prompt-QA-2c45ff60733280948033c917a3b4c555.

Thanks for keeping our data high‑quality! 🙏

How does an AI know that the sentiment of a sentence matches the tone in which it was said?

Of course it needs a human to teach it!

Our all new Emotion Prompt task is live now in three difficulties, with fully community led QA!

Enjoy! 👇

📢 Sapien.io – Service Notice

🚨 Cloudflare Outage 🚨

Hey everyone,

We wanted to let you know that Cloudflare is currently experiencing a widespread outage. Because our platform (and a large portion of the web) relies on Cloudflare’s network, you may notice that Sapien.io is also affected at the moment.

🔎 Live status updates: You can track the situation in real‑time here → https://www.cloudflarestatus.com

We’re monitoring the issue closely and will keep you posted as soon as we have more information or when service is restored. Thanks for your patience and understanding!

— The Sapien.io Team

Cloudflare Status

Welcome to Cloudflare's home for real-time and historical data on system performance.

Hey there, Sapiens!

I hope you all had a great week! Here's your weekly recap!

Today, our CEO Rowan Stone and our Head of Product, Lauren Mushro (read her Newsletter HERE), joined us on stage to talk about what we have been building since TGE, and where we’re expected to go from here.

If you’ve missed it, no worries! We’ll be posting clips and quotes periodically. It’s our goal to have at least one major Town Hall meeting like this per month, so make sure to set your reminders for next time! We’ll make an announcement once we have confirmed a time and date.

Some top level highlights:
We’re expanding our task ecosystem across beginner, intermediate, and advanced annotation types. The training hub will receive new skills assessments, structured learning paths, and an onboarding flow that routes every new user directly into training.

We expect sustained enterprise interest in 3D and 4D data for autonomous vehicles, robotics, and computer vision. Demand is also rising for model benchmarking and minority-language data. The leadership noted that simple annotation tasks will lose value as models improve, while human-in-the-loop reasoning, edge-case identification, and safety-critical interpretation will gain importance.

Vehicle Model Mapping is live NOW!
We’ve finally been able to hit the Go! Button on Vehicle Model mapping. For this task, users review the manufacturer and model name provided, search the catalog for the closest match, and assign the correct brand, series, and model to the vehicle presented. This is important so a self-driving vehicle will be able to understand the minute difference between different car models and makes, and improve decision making in edge case scenarios where an ordinarily trained model might guess.

Next week, we’ll also be releasing a new Bounding Box Skills Assessment. This will be your ticket to some of the more complex tasks we’ll be adding in the near future.

Our Voices in the World.
Read our co-founder Trevor Koverko’s detailed interview with CNN on Building a Global Human-Powered AI Workforce Through Blockchain Incentives.

Our own research this week focused predominantly on what it means in detail to build a futureproof regulatory framework around AI, and why the only way we can guarantee expert level knowledge in an AI Model’s output is through making them work smarter, with humans continuously in the loop.

Sapien Team Takeover.
Going forward, we’ll aim to have a team member in the Discord every week for a structured weekly spotlight that brings the product team closer to the community. Each week a selected team member will lead an asynchronous takeover in Discord to showcase project work, personal reflections, and behind-the-scenes insight.

The featured team member shares short updates, media clips, reflections, or process snapshots throughout the week and engages directly with the community. A running queue of community questions used for AMAs and monthly town halls.

Thanksgiving and Christmas events!
After the massive success of the Hallo-Meme contest, we’re aiming to run more events across all our Social Media platforms. Keep an eye out for when we’ll announce Sapiens-Giving. (Working Title.)

See you next week!
