Six years
Six years observing the open internet.
AI Analytics has been operating since 2020. Below is the public-facing trajectory: when we started measuring, when the probe network expanded, when we shipped what. Internal milestones aren't listed.
2026
4 milestones- Q2Org
Site rebuild · governance + methodology published
Public methodology and governance pages; press kit; intel feed; full Schema.org graph; RSS / JSON syndication. Six rounds of site, structured-data, and SEO improvements.
- Q1Swarm
Swarm SDK v0.4
Situational Awareness, EW Coordination, Adversarial Resilience, RF Fingerprinting & Tracking. 163 new tests (465 total).
- Q1Coverage
Voidly coverage hits 200 countries
37+ probe nodes spanning every continent. 80-domain test list. 5-minute scan cadence. Cross-source verification against OONI / CensoredPlanet / IODA.
- Q1Tooling
MCP server — 83 tools
voidly-ai/mcp-server enables Claude / GPT / agent frameworks to query the censorship dataset directly.
2025
3 milestones- Q4Swarm
Swarm SDK v0.3
Sender Keys for O(1) group encryption. Sealed Sender. Deniable HMAC mode. PKCS7 padding across all transports.
- Q3Swarm
Swarm SDK v0.2
MAVLink v2 transport adapter. PX4 / ArduPilot / MAVSDK compatibility. Message fragmentation and reassembly inside 253-byte payloads.
- Q2Swarm
Swarm SDK v0.1 — initial release
Gossip mesh routing, Double Ratchet forward secrecy, ML-KEM-768 + X25519 hybrid post-quantum key exchange.
2024
3 milestones- Q4Writing
Election cycle coverage
Statistical anomaly detection across 47 races. Benford’s Law, ARIMA time-series, turnout modeling.
- Q4Writing
Distributed VPN routing post
ML-driven path selection across 142 entry-node IPs; traffic-morphing layer for DPI evasion.
- Q3Writing
NLP at 2.4M posts/hr
Real-time pipeline goes into production: Apache Kafka, TimescaleDB, 80 GPU NLP workers, MinHash deduplication.
2023
2 milestones- Q4Open data
OONI corpus mirrored on HuggingFace
ooni-censorship-historical dataset published; passes 1.66M cumulative downloads over the next two years.
- Q2Voidly
Voidly cross-source verification online
Reconciler ships across OONI / CensoredPlanet / IODA. Verified-incident tier becomes the default surface.
2022
2 milestones- Q3Coverage
Probe network → 100 countries
Vantage selection rules formalized: presence inside affected jurisdictions, ASN diversity, operator safety. Test list grows to 60 domains.
- Q1Voidly
ML anomaly classifier in production
Five interference classes (DNS, TLS, HTTP, BGP, throttling) graded with confidence scores; corroborated tier introduced.
2021
2 milestones- Q3Open data
CC BY 4.0 dataset published
First public release of the Voidly measurement archive — committing to open data as a permanent operating principle.
- Q2Tooling
Voidly probe v1
Cross-platform Tauri desktop probe with boringtun + tun-rs. Anyone with a network can run a probe; keys never leave the device.
2020
2 milestones- Q4Voidly
First measurements collected
Initial 6-country probe network active. The censorship dataset begins.
- Q2Org
AI Analytics founded
Operator-led collective forms around a shared belief: internet censorship should be measurable, verifiable, and citable.
