Sources we read

Every evening Toto checks these 119 sources for new AI news. The list is generated from the same file the research pipeline uses, so it is always the real list.

How the sources are used is described in the editorial policy. Being on this list does not mean a source is always right: important facts are checked against the primary source.

Tier 1: primary sources (58)

First party newsrooms and blogs of AI labs and companies, research feeds and model hubs. A first party announcement is the strongest signal that something is a top story.

Tier 2: tech and business press (28)

Quality tech and business outlets. Used to confirm that a story matters and for business, funding and policy news that has no first party post. Paywalled outlets are cited at headline level only.

Tier 3: community, aggregators and analysts (33)

Aggregators, community sites, newsletters and analysts. Used as a ranking signal and to catch what the press missed, never as the only confirmation of a story.
