Show HN: LLM-Powered News –> Event Map, Timeline, and Analysis

2 points by nclin_ 15 days ago · 0 comments · 1 min read

Been working on this for a few months, since the day the USA hit Iran. It started out as a simple OSS conflict monitor of which many were popping up at the time, but it developed into an entirely domain-agnostic pipeline which extracts claims + evidence, synthesizes events, and maps them on a timeline. It also attributes actors, relates events to each other, and contributes analysis.

There are a lot of features under the hood that I'm not sure what to do with yet - various contextual analyses, a storytelling mode that will fly you around and voice-over a series of events automatically, a system which makes and later scores predictions.

There's also an entire "newsroom" editorial and journalistic layer which writes and publishes articles based on developments, using its own judgement.

Currently running (astonishingly well at the price point) on deepseek-3.2, which tends to reject Chinese military news. American models tend to refuse on Iran-Israel.

I've had a lot of fun and felt very well-informed on current events while building this. Would this kind of thing be useful to HN users?
