W/c 01/07: The calm before the storm

Hello Crunchers,

We’re back with your weekly dose of fresh updates :point_down:

DataCrunch Platform
Resolve Targets - Since last week’s successful migration of DataCrunch, we are now scoring and rewarding based on resolve targets.

The shorter target, known as target_w has a length of 7 days plus 2 weekend days. The first scoring of your entries will take place on Tuesday, July 9th, starting on Monday, July 8th after the U.S. markets close.

Product
We have made several improvements to enhance your experience (check the changelogs)

  • You can now rename your model.
  • Project names are now displayed in the participation leaderboard.
  • Introduced a new --notebook flag to set up the environment.
  • Introduced a new --no-quickstarter flag to disable the quickstarter selection.

Payouts
We are pleased to announce that our financial framework is finally set up. Next week, we’ll be able to buy crypto again, and we’ll make a special announcement when we are ready to send the payouts.

Calm Before the Storm
This week, we were in Boston to film the final interviews for announcing our next ‘Crunch’ - the new name for our competitions moving forward.

This upcoming ‘Crunch’ promises to be groundbreaking for the Machine Learning community. Keep an eye on our X account for hints: x.com

Community
We’ll be at EthCC in Brussels on Tuesday, July 9th, if you’d like to meet up.

We’re ready and excited to share the final tokenomics and ecosystem design! Would you prefer the next AMA to be on Discord or Zoom as usual?

Prepare for what’s ahead, Crunchers – we’re in the calm before the storm.
