Beta Release
Glans is currently in Beta. You may see some athletes labeled BOT—these help validate our algorithms and prevent cold start. Their stats are human-verified to be realistic. BOTs will be removed or heavily restricted before production and fully removed once we have a large user base. Learn more about Beta & BOT athletes.
