Two groups inexplicably running their lives on Telegram: crypto bros and my kid's school.

Hypothesis: Poland has been upping its exports of contraceptive-laced chicken nuggets.

Baselight is kicking off full World Cup 2026 coverage today We now have a dedicated World Cup 2026 dashboard tracking: - Upcoming and recent matches - Top players and teams And our existing Daily Insights feature is already surfacing World Cup stories across the Soccer and Soccer Odds categories.

We’re tracking 767 AI models across every major lab. What the data says right now: - Top Intelligence Score: Claude Opus 4.8 (61.4) & GPT-5.5 (60.2) - Best value: Gemini 3.5 Flash - 55.3 score at $1.50 prompt / $9 completion (1M tokens) The gap between “best” and “best value” is closing fast.

Hypothesis: Russian arms dealers carry a ton of cell phones.

Cybersecurity data is accelerating fast. Baselight now includes NIST NVD data, and the latest numbers are striking: The week of May 11, 2026 saw 1,889 CVEs published in a single week - the highest 7-day total ever recorded in the NIST National Vulnerability Database.

Hypothesis: Bigger GDP = more butter stored underground = more vapour leaking through fault lines into Mexico.

Half a trillion rows of data. The Baselight train keeps chugging along 🚂🚃🚃

Hypothesis: India has been increasingly shipping hospital patients to Malaysia.

Our Baselight Daily Insights keep surfacing what matters, every day, grounded in structured and verified data. Recent examples: - ETH closed higher for six days in a row - Bundesliga Champions League race We're now at: 482B rows (+2B this week) 459K tables (+274) 71K datasets (+40)

Got a great laugh out of DeathByClawd -- kudos to the builders. I truly wish Claude had learned to stop lying, but…

Baselight update: 240M rows of U.S. mortgage and housing data, +4B total rows, and the launch of Baselight Daily Insights. Baselight now has: 480,465,801,488 rows (+4B this week) 459,012 tables (+1K) 70,948 datasets (+251) We also launched Baselight Daily insights.

Baselight Pulse is live. Every day, our agent team scans Baselight’s structured data and crafts a fresh set of Daily Insights across: - Soccer - Crypto prices - Stocks The goal is simple: move beyond search and dashboards into proactive intelligence. Link in the comments.

More sports. More onchain data. More surface area for AI. Next week, Baselight adds the Ultimate Baseball Dataset, the Ultimate MMA / UFC Dataset, and Tempo blockchain data. This week: - 470B rows (+5B) - 455K tables (+185) - 70K datasets (+36) Structured data, getting broader every week.

For all the bad rap vibe coding gets, it's such a fun way to quickly prototype stuff. Case in point: you can now find spurious correlations on @baselightdb.bsky.social data!

Context and @baselightdb.bsky.social are all you need, according to Henrique.

Financial markets and healthcare data - both expanded this week. Current snapshot: - 458B rows (+7B) - 455K tables (+360) - 70K datasets (+161) Two major sources added: - Hyperliquid - HHS health data Explore it yourself: - Which asset is being traded the most? - Which health trends stand out?

21 years of HUD Income Limits data is now live. - The national average Area Median Family Income has nearly doubled in 20 years. - The highest Area Median Family Income in the U.S. (2025): $195,200 is 8x higher than the lowest: $24,100. 4,764 areas. 56 territories. All queryable in seconds.

Who would have thought, a zk evening in Andorra.

Another week of growth, +3 billion new rows covering sports analytics, disaster response, and public health. Platform Scale - Rows: 407.8B (+3B) - Tables: 439,321 (+898) - Datasets: 68,898 (+382) Highlights - Ultimate Soccer Dataset expansion - FEMA - CDC / ATSDR Social Vulnerability Index (SVI)

We’ve just crossed another major milestone in our mission to organize the world’s structured data. This week’s scale: • 400.9 billion rows (+5B) • 437,747 tables (+1K) • 68,445 datasets (+272) We also added the EU Funding & Tenders Portal - making funding and research data more accessible.

Baselight went from zero to 431K tables in its first year. That growth matters less for the number than for what it represents: broad, actionable coverage across sports, finance, macro, public policy, healthcare, climate, demographics, blockchains, and research.

Baselight weekly update: • Datasets: 65,759 (▲ +295) • Tables: 323,977 (▲ +450) • Storage: 73 TB (▲ +2TB) New high-impact data now live: • BLS: official labor & inflation stats • United For ALICE: households struggling above poverty • HRSA: healthcare access Focused on high-value, query-ready data

Why use Baselight for sports betting when you can use it for epidemiology?

Can't help but admire @karolnawrockipl.bsky.social's optimism in the face of en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invasio...

Still 12 hours left to join our Product Hunt launch. Give Baselight AI a spin and leave your feedback! www.producthunt.com/products/bas...

Finding it hard to analyze data with SQL? That changes today with Baselight AI, your data analyst copilot! Baselight AI lets you extract insights from Baselight datasets (and your own uploads!), audit reasoning, and verify the data used to reach conclusions. We're launching today on Product Hunt!

The European Blockchain Convention is almost here, and @adlrocha.bsky.social and I will be there showing off @baselightdb.bsky.social. If you're in Barcelona, come say hi!

Not only is staff at my hotel excellent, they're also hilarious: at breakfast this morning, someone asked if I wanted to sit outside. #ThisIsSG

Singapore with half the temperature and half the cars would be heaven. But I'd settle for good bread and Google mapping the underpass network. #token2049

Did not predict I would witness Gilead come into being.

We don't make data-driven decisions; we make data-driving decisions. And that's why @baselightdb.bsky.social datasets have road rage.

I've been using the Credence Calibration Game as both a team icebreaker and roadmapping prep (shoutout to @miyazono.bsky.social for showing it to me!). However, the tooling sucked. Now, I rely on @baselightdb.bsky.social and Claude to create context-specific sets of questions, and it's fantastic.

This gets progressively funnier with every use of the term "floppy".

The weekend is here! If you live near a 🚅 station, you get to take a weekend trip in style. But how much can you see? Quite a bit if you're in 🇬🇧, 🇩🇪, or Benelux; this is where some of the best connected cities in Europe lie.

We hit the stage at @coindesk.com PitchFest to share why the future of data is decentralized, composable, and open. Baselight enables true data ownership by allowing data providers to own, query, and monetize their structured data. Take a look at our Consensus pitch below👇 youtu.be/Wqm2QHh4psA

When the Napalm Girl photo showed a child fleeing napalm in Vietnam, it fueled outrage and changed history. Today, the world watches Palestinian children burn on live stream as Israel’s final solution unfolds in Gaza, yet the west remains silent, inept, and indifferent.

Made it to Toronto for Consensus 2025. We'll be pitching Baselight on Thursday at 1630; come by if you're around! Can't promise much, but can promise 3 brilliant minutes from @elreydetent.bsky.social and a cool @baselightdb.bsky.social shirt (while stocks last!).

I was unlucky enough to be in Lisbon on Monday. Always fun when your demand floor vanishes. The power outage was not all that terrible. The fact that @vodafonegroup.bsky.social's network went down immediately, preventing any kind of coordination with the rest of the family, was.

Yesterday, we released @baselightdb.bsky.social to the public. We wanted to go over our Linear and @github.com stats during our team recap, and what better way to dogfood our new data upload functionality? Love the sustained productivity; no crunch time here!

O moment grand, for which ye all have pined!

Come join us on Discord and talk data!

Look ma, we on Product Hunt! @baselightdb.bsky.social www.producthunt.com/posts/baseli...

Today, mothers and fathers in Gaza are mourning their children because governments across the world did not deem their lives worthy of protection.

Netanyahu has not allowed any food, water, or fuel into Gaza in two weeks. Now he has resumed bombing, killing hundreds of people and breaking the ceasefire that had given Gaza a chance to live again. NO MORE MILITARY AID TO ISRAEL.

Baselight distributes it. Akave stores it. A new era for structured data is here thanks to our partnership and integration with Akave!

A pleasure to work with @yiannisbot.bsky.social, @dtrautwein.eu, and the @probelab.io team to enable analysis of unique blockchain and decentralised network data.

As I watched @lastweektonight.com, I couldn't help but wonder if we had cool data on tipping on @baselightdb.bsky.social. Only a small dataset, sadly, but enough for a surprise quiz! Q1: Do diners tip more on larger orders? Apparently not!

Looking through the source code of the Command & Conquer games that EA just released github.com/electronicarts. Some fun stuff in the comments.

I did not set out to start a company. I left my previous job wanting to take a long break. Mere weeks into it, I found my co-founder, a real problem, and a real solution - all too good to pass up. Skip to today, and @finisterralabs.bsky.social is announcing our seed with Haun and Lightshift.
