How Chronicle works

Chronicle is an automated reading guide to AI work that builders can use. Its labels describe the evidence behind each item; they don’t certify that a claim is true.

Each edition

Fetch
New items from a curated source list, three times a day.
Group
Links to the same article merge into one story.
Assess
Each story gets a kind and a quality label from a model or metadata rules.
Rank
Stories are scored on the weights below.
Balance
No source family above 40%, at most three arXiv papers. Quiet days run shorter.

The score orders the feed; it is not the probability that a story is true. Uncertain dates and thin single-source threads lose a few points. Trending repos gain a few for daily star growth.

What each tab holds

Signal

Last 36 hours

Specific releases, results and changes builders can use.

Vague, promotional or unsupported items rank lower.

Repos

Last 7 days

Repositories with a clear description, README, declared license and recent commits.

Stars measure attention, not quality or safety. Review code and dependencies before use.

Learning

Last 30 days · plus Foundations

New lessons are tutorials and videos with real instruction, not trailers, interviews or pricing posts. Foundations holds courses from Hugging Face Learn, Full Stack Deep Learning and fast.ai.

Syllabi are re-reviewed every 90 days. Example code is not run.

Reading an item

Seen on N feeds

The same link appeared on several feeds. That is not independent confirmation.

Summary

Top News quotes short excerpts that match the source exactly. Other one-liners are model summaries of the title and description, and can be wrong.

Dates

Publication and discovery are shown separately. An old paper can be newly listed; a model can trend long after release.

Updated: Time of the last successful edition. Runs can start late, and a failed run doesn’t reset it.
Check for updates: Loads the latest published edition. It doesn’t fetch sources.
Sources: Reachable sources and sources with fresh items are counted separately. A quiet source isn’t necessarily broken.
Archive: Daily editions are kept for 120 days.

Independence

Ranking has no paid placement. Company posts show their source so you can judge the commercial context. Source weights are editorial starting points, not a guarantee of accuracy.
