The economics and direction of the field.
Reasoning models turned inference into a per-request dial. This is an economic read on when spending FLOPs at test time actually buys accuracy, why it only pays where answers are cheap to verify, and what variable-cost inference does to latency budgets and capacity planning.
The headline benchmark is the least durable thing in a model release. Here is how to read access, licenses, cards, eval protocols, and serving facts before you commit engineering to a number you cannot reproduce.
The standard behind everything we publish: the filters that decide what earns your attention, the reproduced-to-unverified ladder we grade claims on, how we handle benchmarks and weightless releases, and why every correction is dated and logged rather than silently edited.
