Sources

Where each section looks: Tier 1 sources fetched every run, Tier 2 covered by window-bounded search.

Two tiers. Tier 1: fetch directly every run; they carry primary announcements. If a page renders empty or stale, fall back to an Exa query scoped to that source. Tier 2: cover with at least one Exa query bounded to the window, and fetch an item only once it clears the Inclusion Bar. Treat the list as a coverage checklist, then add queries for anything inside the window that none of these surfaced.

model-releases: Model Releases

New open-weight and closed models (LLM, multimodal, vision, audio, code): provider, name, parameter count if known, key capabilities, benchmark highlights, license.
