Manta Digital, Inc.

The market is the loss function

Every year, more data is generated than in all of human history.

In 2017 humankind develops AI technology that is able to generate text indistinguishable from that of humans. OpenAI productionizes this technology, causing it to become mainstream by 2023. By 2026, Agents and harnesses produce most of the internets traffic.

However, more data does not imply more information. As more noise is generated, digital junkyards supersede the libraries of Alexandria that humans have built over millenials.

Manta Digital's mission is to provide the right data, in the right format, at the right time. We build autonomous systems that provide complete, relevant & interpretable context, turning what people mean into clear instructions that systems can act on.

How we get there

We start where outcomes are measurable. Our systems learn from those outcomes and expose the context that matters. We model it as a reinforcement learning environment, except that the environment is very, very large. Thus it must be extracted in a compact markovian context instead. We start with markets that have shared data streams. Later, we move to businesses, because each business is unique in its own way.

1. Market intelligence: We begin in financial markets, combining quantitative, fundamental and qualitative research. Stingray.Fi is our first application.
2. Counter-intelligence: We identify manipulation, misinformation and missing context across both.
3. Business intelligence: We proactively inform participants about relevant changes in their environment and make AI-driven businesses proactive rather than reactive.

As Manta Digital succeeds, the boundaries between entities, companies and business units blur. It makes the economy more efficient by reducing energy use through lower token consumption, enabling more efficient supply chain paths and requiring fewer middlemen, while preventing conflicts caused by bad information.
