The Block Launches The Latent, A New AI-Focused Publication

The Block has launched The Latent, a standalone AI-focused publication that brings structured data reporting and model rankings to the AI industry.

The Latent addresses a benchmarking problem in AI by providing a standardized methodology for comparing performance numbers from different labs.

The publication's daily updates will offer real-time news on verified developments in artificial intelligence, treating AI news with the same urgency as market movements in the crypto space.

The Block's existing infrastructure for data journalism provides The Latent with a foundation that would take years to build from scratch, giving it a strong starting point in the competitive AI media landscape.
