Silenzio sells voice datasets to Anthropic and Eleven Labs
German DeFi project Silenzio has pivoted to selling aggregated voice data to AI labs, including Anthropic and Eleven Labs. The contracts are worth several million dollars, marking a shift toward sustainable data generation models.
Silenzio, a German-based DeFi project, has pivoted its business model to sell aggregated voice data to AI labs. The platform allows users to install an app and complete tasks involving speech recording, for which they are paid. The collected datasets, comprising real human speech in various languages and dialects, are sold to AI companies. Silenzio announced contracts with Eleven Labs and Anthropic, among other unnamed labs, worth several million dollars.
This business model is comparable to Grass, which sells internet browsing data. The project's token has seen a significant recovery from July lows, with a market cap of $9 million and a fully diluted valuation of $26 million. This reflects growing market interest in data generation for AI training. Observers highlight Silenzio as a positive example of a DeFi project finding a sustainable business model by providing valuable data to AI labs, contrasting it with the generally poor performance of the broader DeFi sector.
