WC 02/05: AI, Alpha & Crunching at Scale

Hey Crunchers,

While many were watching charts, Crunch was deep in the real-world action at Token2049 Dubai.

From hosting Solana summits to sharing the stage at major AI + crypto events, the past week was nothing short of thrilling. We connected with industry veterans, traded ideas, and explored how AI x DeFi is evolving fast and how CrunchDAO is helping shape it.

At the same time, back at the lab, we hit a major milestone:

After six months of relentless work, we’ve successfully closed the final phase of our Autoimmune Disease Challenge series in collaboration with the Eric & Wendy Schimdt Center at Broad Institute. From predicting gene expression to ranking cancer biomarkers, Crunchers have helped push the frontier of biomedical machine learning.

Now, onto this week’s key updates :backhand_index_pointing_down:

Broad Autoimmune Challenge #3 is Closed


The final phase of our collaboration with the Broad Institute has officially ended.

We’ve received a wide range of creative, powerful submissions — including models that could push real-world cancer detection forward. The peer review process is getting started and it is mandatory for the eligible crunchers to participate. Enter now.

A huge thank you to all participants.

Results and spotlights coming soon.
