antgoldbloom··on Claude overtaking ChatGPT in the enterprise – measured by job posts mentions
Pretty stunning chart that shows how much progress Claude is making in the enterprise.

"First Mentions" is a good metric for tracking momentum: keeping an existing tool in a recycled job description is a passive decision, but explicitly adding a new technology for the very first time requires an active decision.

ChatGPT plateaued around Q3 2025, while Anthropic’s growth curve went vertical shortly after. As of early 2026, Claude has completely closed the gap and is now tying ChatGPT in new enterprise adoption.

antgoldbloom··on Kaggle Launches LLM Evals
Here’s the announcement https://www.kaggle.com/blog/announcing-kaggle-benchmarks

I was founder and ceo of kaggle. I’ve been out of kaggle for 2.5 years. Super excited to see this announcement. Could solve the biggest problem in the LLM ecosystem.

antgoldbloom··on Voidware: Software that only exists when you use it
Very cool! Do you see this as an intellectual curiosity? Or are there powerful new types of software that the voideare concept makes possible?
antgoldbloom··on Show HN: Sumble – knowledge graph for GTM data – query tech stack, key projects
What query are you trying to run? Can email me at a@sumble.com and I can see if we can support your query.

We plan to put some data outside the login wall to see what we have without logging in. Haven't put time into this flow yet.

Can email me at a@sumble.com. Great if you can record a loom.

Currently aiming for next 2 months.
antgoldbloom··on Show HN: Sumble – knowledge graph for GTM data – query tech stack, key projects
People data has ~85% coverage at the moment for people who put their resume data online. We are going to be adding some others sources (e.g. Github profiles) that will help improve coverage, particularly for technical personas.
antgoldbloom··on Show HN: Sumble – knowledge graph for GTM data – query tech stack, key projects
As in a search box where you can ask free form queries rather than applying filters? We haven't heard much demand for that yet, so haven't prioritized it. We will if it's a common request.
antgoldbloom··on The overlooked GenAI use case: cleaning, processing, and analyzing data
It's a mix. Some companies write nice posts with very specific projects. Some are vague and full of buzz words. As an example, Trafigura have the nice pattern of posting a project the new hire will tackle in their first six months (e.g. https://sumble.com/l/z6m9djMq9H).

Link should be working now (albeit a bit slow). Seems like we have been receiving more than the usual amount of traffic today.

antgoldbloom··on The overlooked GenAI use case: cleaning, processing, and analyzing data
Appreciate the nice words. If you want to explore the data in more depth, you might enjoy poking around in this Marimo app: https://marimo.io/p/@sumble/gen-ai?show-code=false

You can see the full list of corporate use cases.

antgoldbloom··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (March 2023)
Sumble | Remote in US timezone | Full-time

Sumble is building a data scientist friendly repository of external datasets.

Founders: Anthony Goldbloom and Ben Hamner (previously founders of Kaggle,a large ML community)

Looking for first two hires: - Full stack web dev to rebuild prototype (stack flexible but bias to python and react) - ML/data engineer to turn prototype models and pipelines into something more robust (stack flexible but bias to python based tools)

Email: anthony@sumble.com

antgoldbloom··on Show HN: Simple app to break up larger decisions into many pairwise comparisons
I wrote this app to as an excuse to learn React and to help pick a name for the baby we're expecting.

I've since found that I'm using it semi-regularly for other subjective decisions: most recently choosing a holiday destination.

Posting it here in the hope that others also find it useful.

antgoldbloom··on AI competitions don’t produce useful models
To elaborate on leakage: it's a case where something in the training or test dataset wouldn't be available in a production setting.

As a funny example: I remember we were once given a dataset to predict prostate cancer from ~300 variables. One of the variables was "had prostate cancer surgery". Turned out that was a very good predictor of prostate cancer ;). Thankfully that was an example where we caught the leakage. Unfortunately there are cases where we don't catch the leakage.

antgoldbloom··on AI competitions don’t produce useful models
Kaggle CEO here.

Agree with a mild version of the author's statement: that for many competitions, the difference between top n spots is not statistically significant. However, the author's statement (as represented by this chart https://lukeoakdenrayner.files.wordpress.com/2019/09/ai-comp...) is far too strong.

The actual best model may not always win, but will typically be in the top 0.1%.

There are people on this thread who have poked holes in the author's sample size calculator (I'm not going to rehash that).

But an empirical observation: the same top ranked Kagglers consistently perform well in competition after competition.

You can see this by digging through the profiles of top ranked Kagglers (https://www.kaggle.com/rankings). Or by looking at competition leaderboards. For example the leaderboard screenshot the author shared in the post (https://lukeoakdenrayner.files.wordpress.com/2019/09/pneumo-...) shows 11 of the 13 top performers are Masters and Grandmasters, which puts them at the top ranked 1.5K members of our community of 3.4MM data scientists (orange and gold dots under the profile pictures indicate Master and Grandmaster rank).

I actually think the author's headline is often correct: there are many cases where machine learning competitions don't produce useful models. But for a completely different reason: Competitions sometimes have leakage.

Kaggle | San Francisco | Full Time | ONSITE or REMOTE | UX Design

You can read the job req and apply here: https://www.kaggle.com/careers/uxdesigner?utm_source=hn

Kaggle is the world's largest machine learning community with over 1.2MM members. Users come to Kaggle to compete in machine learning competitions, share their work through Kaggle Kernels (our cloud based data science workbench) or find datasets on our open data platform.

In March 2017, Kaggle was acquired by Google. Kaggle continues to operate as an independent brand and team within Google.

This is an exciting role for designers. We push features often and get immediate feedback from our community (in the form of user comments and usage levels).

We've made three hires via HN posts, so we take HN referrals very seriously.
