@avipat_ Kled-FD 0.1 will be used to clean all data uploaded by users on the Kled app. This data will be used by the leading AI models and labs. Learn more: https://t.co/07bKDD06aL

Introducing Kled-FD 0.1, the world's best fraud detection and dataset cleaning pipeline.

The first all in one system capable of detecting AI generated content, near duplicates, stolen and plagiarized media, screenshots, manipulated and spliced content, NSFW and explicit material, minors and age sensitive content, sensitive and harmful content, and coordinated behavioral fraud rings.

Kled-FD 0.1 has been battle tested across 1.2 billion uploads on Kled's data marketplace and is actively running quality checks on over 5 million uploads per day across image, video, audio, and text.

Public benchmarks will be released soon. This is the first real step toward making data quality enforcement a humanless process.

Thank you for having me on the podcast @Jason and @alex. Genuinely refreshing, and thank you for supporting us.

[Kled AI @useKled]

@avipat_ Kled will always prioritize data quality, lab safety, and user data safety above all. That is the gold standard we will uphold ourselves to for the rest of time.

@avipat_ We will be releasing a full custom trust center soon

[Avi Patel @avipat_]

Kled is partnering with Vanta and Workstreet to build automated SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and GDPR compliance infrastructure for our marketplace.

Most data marketplaces stop at SOC 2. We are implementing all four major compliance frameworks, the highest level of compliance infrastructure reasonably available to a company at our stage.

This means Kled can fully process, package, and process any type of user data: safely, consensually, and at scale.

The leading AI labs and enterprise customers don't just want good data. They want data they can stake their models and products on.

Enterprise contracts and institutional buyers require this infrastructure before serious conversations can happen. We're building it now so it's never the reason a deal doesn't close in the future.

The data marketplace that wins long term is the one labs and enterprises trust most.

@avipat_ Higher

[Avi Patel @avipat_]

Kled has has 4 record user signup days in a row. We've offically ranked top 100 in the app store in over 82 countries.

The United States constitutes our second most downloaded region where we almost crossed the top 100 on the app store finance charts (rank 162).

Our overall fraud rate has fallen to a below 13% average, across 1 billion uploads. We have purged and deleted all 68 million uploads from Nigerian users (this data was never sent to any AI labs or entities and Nigerian users keep their payouts).

Our support ticket volume has dropped 34% thanks to in-app improvements, even as our user base has scaled significantly.

Our app reviews have remained and climbed to a 4.9 star ranking in new developing regions like Indonesia. With an overall 4.6 star ranking across thousands of reviews.

Over 60% of new signups are coming from direct referrals, users bringing in users. Our average user completes their first upload within 2 minutes of creating an account.

@avipat_ We thank all the legitimate contributors from here, we will be back soon enough.

[Kled AI @useKled]
