This post details the Sentinel project, a hackathon winner that uses Qdrant Cloud for semantic search to detect misinformation. Sentinel scrapes news from 20 global sources, stores article embeddings in Qdrant, and uses Mistral-7B to identify factual contradictions. Qdrant's ability to find semantically related articles across different wording was crucial for the system's success.
