Frequently asked questions
What is AI/TLDR?
AI/TLDR is a high-volume tracker of new AI releases — models, open-source repos, developer tools, papers, datasets, benchmarks and security findings — refreshed every 8 hours and explained in plain English.
How often is the feed updated?
An automated agent sweeps every 2 hours and publishes a fresh build to the site. Items are sorted by ingest time so the newest releases always float to the top.
Is AI/TLDR free?
Yes — the site is free to read with no signup. There is an optional newsletter and a Buy-Me-a-Coffee tip jar if you want to support it.
Where does the data come from?
Every item is fetched and verified from a primary source — vendor blog post, GitHub release, arXiv paper, official announcement. Nothing is hallucinated; if a URL or claim cannot be verified, the item is dropped.
How do you decide what's worth covering?
We catch the hype: frontier-lab releases, hyped open-source drops, multi-outlet stories, pricing or capability shifts. Items are tagged seismic, major or notable based on impact.
Can I subscribe to a newsletter?
Yes — there is a daily digest delivered via Buttondown. Subscribe from the homepage banner.
