Model Recap
Short AI explainers

AI moves in weeks.
Each recap: one model, one number, plain English.

Each recap runs about two minutes: one chart you can read at a glance, and every number traced to its source.

Every recap, one chart

Coverage

Three lanes, no hype.

Pulled from primary sources — release notes, price sheets, and public benchmarks — then explained like you're smart but busy.

The price war

Open-weight models collapsed the cost of frontier-grade AI. We track the numbers and what they mean for the prices you pay.

How models work

What Mixture-of-Experts means, why context windows matter, how text-to-speech works.

Benchmark skepticism

Vendors grade their own homework. We ask who checked, on what board, and whether the score survives the cost.

Format

New recaps most evenings.
