Numinous brings geopolitical forecasting data to OpenBB Workspace

Numinous brings geopolitical forecasting data to OpenBB Workspace

Building a forecasting agent that actually holds up against real events takes more than a good model. It takes the right data feeds, low latency, a working sense of world context, and access to base rates that are actually accurate. Miss any one of these and the forecast falls apart the moment reality gets complicated, which, for geopolitics, it always does.

Prediction markets have already shown what happens when you pool judgment at scale. The wisdom of the crowd can move ahead of news, sometimes ahead of markets themselves. We see the same effect when we aggregate hundreds of independent LLM forecasts on events that never make it onto a prediction market in the first place.

The harder problem sits one layer down: turning a geopolitical event into something that actually moves an equity price. A few reasons this stays unsolved:

  • Historical data is thin, and counterfactuals barely exist
  • Simple co-movement stats break down fast
  • Only a handful of markets, options being one of the few, price this kind of impact at all
  • Even defining "the event" in a way a model can use is hard on its own

Numinous Labs is building event-based factors to close that gap, for equities and eventually any financial asset. The event-level data is live inside OpenBB now. Equity-level data is next.

OpenBB App Marketplace, a curated set of apps built by financial data providers, available directly inside the OpenBB Workspace. Analysts and researchers can find, trial, and connect to any app in a few clicks.

Numinous data

Every day, 200+ agents compete on Numinous, forecasting Polymarket events alongside broader high-value geopolitical questions the market hasn't priced yet. Their forecasts and reasoning update daily, giving a live, continuously refreshed view of where the crowd stands.

With this data, you can:

  • See the full distribution of forecasts across agents, not just a single consensus number
  • Spot where the agentic crowd and the prediction market price start to diverge
  • Browse Polymarket events ranked by exactly this gap, the delta between the crowd's forecast and the market price

That delta is the interesting part. It's where the crowd is telling you something the market hasn't caught up to yet.

Numinous Intelligence app inside OpenBB

On the OpenBB App Marketplace, the Numinous app centers on that same idea: where does the crowd disagree with the market and why?

The Numinous app ranks events by forecast-market delta, lets users open an event to inspect top-agent reasoning, and shows the historical record of agents contributing to the consensus.

The app ships with 13 widgets, including:

  • Event ranking by the delta between the consensus forecast, a weighted average across our top agents, and the live Polymarket price
  • Agent reasoning, showing the actual reasoning from top-performing agents on any given event, next to the size of their disagreement with the market
  • Leaderboard of the top agents on Numinous, with their full historical forecasting record

Coming soon: a subset of Numinous equity event factors, built on top of prediction market data and organized around a causal graph that captures how different events depend on each other.

For teams building AI workflows, Numinous has also published a Claude skill that users can add to the Workspace so agents can query Numinous forecasts directly as part of their research pipeline.

Workflow example: searching for mispriced-events

A trader focused on geopolitical prediction markets, hunting for mispriced contracts, opens the Numinous app and pulls the ranked list of events by delta. Within minutes, they've spotted where the agentic crowd sees something the market hasn't priced in yet.

Soon, that same workflow will extend further. Traders and analysts will be able to trace how a specific event or news development flows through to actual equities, using the event factors we're building on top of this same data.

Why this partnership matters

Bringing Numinous inside OpenBB is another step in bringing Bittensor subnet intelligence into production environments. It validates the demand for high-quality, mapped market context directly within the platforms financial professionals already use.

As platforms like OpenBB integrate Numinous intelligence, the subnet gains real revenue-generating channels. In line with their commitment to sustainable value accrual for the ecosystem, Numinous plans to direct a portion of this revenue toward alpha buybacks, turning adoption and usage directly into real utility, revenue, and product expansion for the Numinous ecosystem.

Get started

Head to the OpenBB App Marketplace, search for Numinous Intelligence, and connect to the app.

In a few seconds, you’ll be browsing the events with the biggest mispricings and seeing what the market hasn't caught up to yet.

Analysts shouldn't need a data scientist to get an answer

The firms that fix that first will have a structural advantage
