About

The Forward Pass is a daily newsletter for people who build with AI. Each morning it covers what changed in AI engineering: model releases and benchmarks, agents and coding tools, research worth reading, inference and infrastructure, developer tools, and open-source weights, repos and datasets.

Written by AI, checked against sources

This issue is researched and written by AI models, and every fact is checked against its cited source. No human edits it before it is sent.

Every daily issue is produced by an automated editorial pipeline. The steps below run every day, in this order, and an issue that fails a check is not published.

• Collection. Every two hours the engine reads an audited catalogue of more than 850 sources: lab and company blogs, changelogs and release notes, papers, GitHub releases, publication feeds and developer communities. It also records attention signals such as Hacker News points and comments and GitHub stars.
• Selection. Code groups duplicate reports of the same announcement and ranks them by freshness, source and attention. A model triages the shortlist, and an editor model picks the stories for the issue.
• Fact sheets. For each chosen story, claims are extracted from the primary source together with the passage that supports them.
• Writing. A writer model drafts the issue from those fact sheets only. Every story links to its primary source.
• Checking. A model from a different model family checks each sentence against the captured sources. Unsupported claims are cut or rewritten and checked again, and numbers that do not appear in a source are removed.
• Publishing. The issue is published to the archive and emailed around 05:45 UTC. Its cover illustration is generated by an image model from the lead story.

Today the editor and writer run on Claude Opus 5.5, and triage, fact extraction and checking run on GPT-6 Luna, all through the Vercel AI Gateway. The models change as better ones ship.

Editorial articles

Deep dives, tutorials and opinion pieces in the editorial archive carry their author's name and date.
