How we pick and write stories
We follow what developers and everyday users are talking about across Hacker News, Reddit, Bluesky, Hugging Face, GitHub and the vendors' own blogs, then keep the stories that change how you work with ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or an open model. A release that only matters to investors, or a feud between companies, does not make the list.
Every story has the same three parts:
- What happened. Only facts we can link to: the vendor's announcement, the project's own page or the model card. Where a number comes from a user's report rather than the vendor, the story says so.
- What it means for you. What to change in your prompts, settings or tools, if anything.
- Try it. One to three prompts you can copy, with full versions in our prompt library.
Leaks and "I think I'm being routed to the new model" posts stay out until the vendor confirms them. When we get something wrong, we correct the story and change its date.
