We’ve noticed that image generation often breaks when users scale too fast. That’s one of the reasons we added the Free Compute feature to the Ocean VS Code extension Users can start with a small, fixed-seed baseline, lock their settings, and save both the configuration and the outputs, ensuring their runs remain consistent and repeatable. It keeps things stable while they experiment and scale at their own pace Try it now and use your 7,200 seconds of free compute time to get started https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=OceanProtocol.ocean-protocol-vscode-extension https://x.com/oceanprotocol/status/1996174801547784482

We just wrapped the CivicLens annotation challenge in partnership with @lunor_ai 206 contributors labeled European Parliament speeches for stance, claims, tone, topic, and ideology cues The result offers valuable insights into political discourse analysis and high-quality data curation Details: https://blog.oceanprotocol.com/annotators-hub-civiclens-turning-speeches-into-signals-e27041c3972c https://x.com/oceanprotocol/status/1995452783000949012?s=20

The ASI Alliance from Ocean’s Perspective By @brucepon People are rightly angry and frustrated. No one is a winner in this current state of unease, lack of information and transparency, and mudslinging. Ocean doesn’t see the benefit of throwing around unfounded and false allegations or the attempts to sully the reputations of the projects and people – it just damages both the ASI and Ocean communities unnecessarily. Ocean has chosen to remain silent until now, out of respect for the ongoing legal processes. But given so many flagrant violations of decency, Ocean would like to take an opportunity to rebut many publicly voiced false allegations, libels, and baseless claims being irresponsibly directed towards the Ocean Protocol project. The false and misleading statements serve only to further inflame our community, while inciting anger and causing even more harm to the ASI and Ocean communities than is necessary. Rather than throw unsubstantiated jabs, I would like to provide a full context with supporting evidence and links, to address many of the questions around the ASI Alliance, Ocean’s participation, and the many incorrect allegations thrown out to muddy the waters and sow confusion among our community. This blogpost will be followed up with a claim-by-claim rebuttal of all the allegations that have been directed towards Ocean since October 9, 2025 but for now, this blog gives the context and Ocean’s perspective. I encourage you to read it all, as it reflects months of conversations that reveal the context and progression of events, so that you can best understand why Ocean took steps to chart a separate course from the ASI Alliance. We hope the ASI Alliance can continue its work and we wish them well. Meanwhile, Ocean will go its own way, as we have every right to do. These are the core principles of decentralization – non-coercion, non-compulsion, individual agency, sovereign property ownership and the power of you, the individual, to own and control your life. https://blog.oceanprotocol.com/the-asi-alliance-from-oceans-perspective-f7848b2ad61f https://x.com/oceanprotocol/status/1981298726611108204

Ocean 🌊 is working and active. We are refraining from engaging in unfounded claims and harmful rumours that make the situation worse for the entire ASI and Ocean communities. Ocean had earlier suggested waiving confidentiality over the adjudicator's recent findings as a means of allowing the communities to see the truth for themselves. However, Mr Humayun Sheikh refused this. We are therefore preparing responses to the various unfounded claims and allegations while respecting the ambits of the law. In the meantime, please be assured the Ocean treasury is safe, intact, and will continue to be deployed for the benefit of the Ocean community. https://x.com/oceanprotocol/status/1978766932569419873

To the entire Ocean and ASI community. We are eager to share more information about Ocean’s departure from the ASI Alliance, to answer many of the valid questions by the community and respond forcefully to allegations raised. We are, however, constrained from sharing the truth and facts at the moment. Please standby while the process works its way through and as soon as we can share more, we will. https://x.com/oceanprotocol/status/1976545764961669455?t=otV0KF0mIrDzlZa430Z-5Q&s=19
