From 9ee1291033379dfbc7171246f2e7f4807b44beaa Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Matt Van Horn Date: Thu, 26 Feb 2026 10:42:00 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] docs: update README for v2.5 - Polymarket + HN as killer features, add Anthropic odds example Reorder v2.5 features: Polymarket prediction markets and HN lead as #1, multi-signal quality-ranked relevance scoring as #2.
