Daily checks. Lasting timelines.

Every day at noon, Europe/London, we search for substantive updates since the previous successful check. Official announcements, release notes, model cards and research are prioritised. Stories are deduplicated by the underlying event; changed facts update the existing entry, and material corrections are recorded. Older entries stay on their original tracker, with dated archive sections as the history grows.

This coverage is independently published and AI-assisted. “Live” describes an ongoing page, not continuous monitoring. If nothing meets the verification standard, the check date advances but the last-news-added date does not. For a cross-company roundup, visit the twice-daily AI news feed.
