The wider picture
Find products, models, and ideas. Follow the evidence and see how they change over time.
Research notes from web and browser scans, including leads still being verified. Dates record observations, not release dates.
Needs verification
Trending wrapper inspected; app rankings and methodology still need reading. No runtime result obtained. October 12 retry did not obtain new underlying evidence; keep pending.
Models & capabilities · Research & education
Primary source read
Primary explanation and creator index read. Next compare constrained labels with calibrated probabilities on held-out cases; they are not equivalent.
Models & capabilities · Techniques & protocols
Primary source read
Upcoming change from September notice. Next confirm effective date and replacement availability near October 19; this is Copilot-specific, not a vendor API deprecation. Existing general guides do not hardcode these retired identifiers.

Primary source read
Trending model and related WebGPU Space deduplicated into one candidate. Primary card describes shared multimodal embeddings. Next write a small retrieval evaluation with correct task prefixes; Space runtime and browser performance remain untested.

Source-linked discovery
The paper reports VISTA raises Claude Opus 5.0's Relative Human Action Efficiency on ARC-AGI-3 from 40.68 to 100.00.
Models & capabilities
Dedicated release and documentation searches supplement broad discovery. This is the last recorded attempt, not a guarantee that every launch was found.

A completed attempt is not a complete sweep of the internet. Deferred results were withheld or found no supported candidate. Uncertain attempts retain their cost reservation. Areas not yet searched may be waiting for budget. Web search uses OpenRouter / Exa; native social/video search is not included.
