RADAR
AI radar
Every morning the radar reads around two hundred primary sources — AI labs, chip makers, platforms, research groups and the people shipping the work — and an AI analyst scores each new article for how much it matters. Each item opens the original article.
199 sources · last sweep 10 Oct 2026 · updated daily
How the radar works
- Each source is read the most reliable way available: its RSS feed, the page itself, its sitemap, or Google News for sites that block automated readers.
- New articles from the last two days are sent to an AI model, which scores them 1–10, tags them, and writes one line on why they matter.
- Links are only kept if they really exist on the source page — nothing is invented. Every item links to the original publisher.
- 9–10
- Major model releases, breakthrough research, massive funding
- 7–8
- Significant launches, key partnerships, infrastructure shifts
- 5–6
- Normal updates and technical posts
- 1–4
- Minor updates and marketing
