How this stays current

What happens to a story after the daily brief — what gets listed, what gets written in, and why you can trust either.

The living-content pipeline

Every day we sweep the AI world for news and research. Most of it is worth a glance and then gone. But when something is solid and durable, it does not just scroll past — it is vetted and written into the reference itself.

The promise: nothing valuable is lost to the archive, and nothing unvetted leaks into the knowledge.

The pipeline · five stages

1
📡
Collect
18 feeds swept daily — news and research: arXiv, Berkeley BAIR, MIT, the labs, the press.
automated
→
2
🧠
Rank & tag
Each item is read, ranked and labelled (capability / pricing / research). This is the live News & Research feed.

3
🎯
Detect a keeper
Most items age off. A candidate earns promotion when it recurs across days, is a real capability shift, or you flag it.

4
🔍
Validate
Source tier, corroboration by two or more independent sources, and a human sign-off. Nothing unvetted passes.

Synthesize
Digested into the site's own voice + a citation, written into the page and the facts registry — stamped "added from Signal".

Why it matters · two layers, one bridge

Transient signal

Fresh, but it ages off.

  • The daily News & Research tabs
  • Archived per day — browsable, kept
  • Referenced on each topic page

Left alone, today's insight is buried in a month.

→
Promote
when solid

Permanent knowledge

Digested, cited, durable.

  • Written into the topic page's prose
  • Numbers land in the facts registry
  • Dated provenance, reviewed for rot

The insight stays after the news is gone.

The gate · what earns a place in the reference

◆Source tier
Peer-reviewed & first-party outrank a preprint; a preprint outranks the press. The tier is recorded.
◆Corroboration
A claim needs two or more independent sources before it can be stated as fact on a page.
◆Human sign-off
Every promotion is a diff you approve, edit or reject. The pipeline proposes; a person decides.
◆Digest, don't copy
It is rewritten in the site's voice with a citation — never pasted. Provenance travels with it.

"Context Rot" — from a swept preprint to a line in the RAG page
One real item, tracked through all five stages.
1 · Collected
Swept from arXiv
One of ~30 papers that day. Into the raw feed.
→
2 · In the feed
Shows in the Research tab
Titled, sourced, dated — but transient.
→
3 · Keeper
Recurs + you flag it
Cited by two news items; you hit "keep this".
→
4 · Validated
Preprint + corroborated
Two sources agree; you approve the diff.
→
5 · In the page
Digested onto RAG
A dated line in "Recent developments".
What lands on the RAG page — permanently

"More retrieved context is not more accuracy: a single distractor measurably degrades performance, and the effect grows with input length — budget the window rather than fill it."Added from Signal · 23 Jul 2026 — Chroma Research, Context Rot (arXiv). Reviewed & corroborated.
