How each take is built.
Signal
We start with a concrete change in models, compute, hardware, inference, power, or security. Headlines alone do not qualify.
Evidence
Each take links to the material that supports it: papers, filings, official engineering notes, repositories, or measured runs.
Implication
We write the reported fact separately from the engineering or market interpretation. Do not write what the source does not show.
Decision impact
Every useful take ends with what to test, change, watch, or price differently. If there is no decision consequence, it probably does not belong.
Papers, filings, official engineering notes, repositories, measured runs. Linked on the exact claim they support.
Our own math on public numbers — batch sizes, memory footprints, unit costs. Shown, not asserted.
Runs on named hardware with raw configurations attached, so anyone can reproduce or refute them.
Credible reporting when primaries are paywalled or offline. Always labeled as secondary.
Single-source claims that matter anyway. Flagged as provisional — never stated as fact.
Follow-up evidence confirmed the initial read.
Direction right, magnitude or mechanism off.
Credible evidence now cuts against the initial read.
Still open — the revisit date has not arrived or evidence is thin.
The claim failed. Recorded publicly, not deleted.
No verdict possible yet; the claim stays on the watch list.
Vendor launches are claims, not facts, until the workload, baseline, batch size, and cost basis are visible.
Every thesis states what would prove it wrong. Unknowns are labeled unknown.
Wrong calls stay in the archive with their verdict.
Every thesis states what would prove it wrong. Vendor benchmarks are treated as claims, not facts, until the workload, baseline, batch size, and cost basis are visible.
The archive should become accountable, not just searchable. Consequential claims are revisited with follow-up evidence and explicit verdicts: held, partially held, disputed, unresolved, or invalidated.
