Learn about Common Crawl’s insights from a recent data product and informed solutions for the future of public web data.

The Common Crawl Foundation is dedicated to preserving humanity’s knowledge and making it accessible through its free public web dataset, a vital resource since 2008. As AI development accelerates, concerns have emerged regarding the accessibility and transparency of public web data, impacting open datasets in three key ways: robots.txt exclusions, legal demands, and “”bot defenses.”” Two of these are not visible in public and are not very well understood. In this seminar, Common Crawl will present insights from a new data product that utilizes Common Crawl’s crawl metadata to visually explore these three problems, advocating for greater transparency and informed solutions for the future of public web data.”

During Open Source AI Week. San Francisco. The ASIMOV Sessions. Presented by near. Hosted by eco and ASIMOV. October 22, 2025.

Big Tech tells us AI belongs in the cloud — behind their walls, on their terms. But what if the next status quo looks very different?

​For one evening in San Francisco, ASIMOV Systems and EXO Labs will preview a future where AI runs locally, privately, and verifiably — built on architectures that challenge the centralised model the world has come to accept.

​Alex Cheema (EXO Labs) will showcase distributed compute on Apple’s new Mac Studio bank — proving that what once needed the cloud can now run entirely at the edge.

​Arto Bendiken (ASIMOV Systems) will deliver a live demo designed to turn the room itself into data — a glimpse of how personal intelligence can capture and connect the world in real time.

​This isn’t theory. It’s a working glimpse of what comes next — from people building it today.

​An audience of VCs, founders, and engineers will be in the room. If you want to see where AI is really headed — and who’s leading it — this is the night you don’t miss.

2025 dAGI SummitSan Francisco

dAGI Summit 2025 is where the architects of decentralized AI converge — to code, collide and co-create the future. This is about open systems, unstoppable coordination, and AGI that belongs to everyone.

​​​What’s dAGI Summit?

​A high-signal gathering of the minds reshaping intelligence infrastructure — from permissionless compute to autonomous agent networks and real-world cybernetics. Just builders, founders, researcehrs and systems thinkers getting to work.

​​​Who Should Be in the Room?

  • ​​​Researchers building models outside the walls of Big Tech
  • ​​​Developers deploying AI at the edge, or anywhere closed APIs won’t go
  • ​Founders designing coordination games for autonomous agents
  • Anyone dead serious about keeping intelligence open, composable & free
  • ​​​If you’re dreaming of AGI that doesn’t serve shareholders, but serves humanity – this is your summit.
