One problem of the ΛCDM model is the tension between the S8 found in Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) experiments and the smaller one obtained from large-scale observations in the late Universe. The σ8 quantifies the relatively high level of clustering. Bayesian Analysis of the Redshift Space Distortion (RSD) selected data set yields: S8=0.700−0.037+0.038. The fit has 3σ tension with the Planck 2018 results. With Gaussian processes method a model-independent reconstructions of the growth history of matter in-homogeneity is studied. The fit yields S8=0.707−0.085+0.085,0.701−0.089+0.089, and 0.731−0.062+0.063 for different kernels. The tension reduces and being smaller then 1.5σ. With future measurements the tension may be reduced, but the possibility the tension is real is a plausible situation.
