Info finance is Vitalik Buterin’s term for combining things like prediction markets and news. Indeed, a prediction market like Polymarket is “a betting site for the participants and a news site for everyone else.” Here’s an incredible instantiation of the idea from Packy McCormick. As I understand it, betting odds are drawn from Polymarket, context is provided by Perplexity and Grok, a script is written by ChatGPT and read by an AI using Packy’s voice and a video is produced by combining with some simple visuals. All automated.

What’s really impressive, however, is that it works. I learned something from the final product. I can see reading this like a newspaper.
