$ aboutHow this works

This site keeps a running record of where AI stands. Twice a day, an AI agent reads official announcements from AI labs, independent reporting, research papers, and community discussion, then writes a short brief. A person reviews every brief before it’s published.

Why “The Turichron”

In 1950 Alan Turing opened a paper with a question: “Can machines think?” The name joins his with chronos, Greek for time. The question is still open, and the evidence keeps changing. Each brief updates one standing picture of the field, and the Evolution page shows how that picture changed over time and what evidence changed it.

The landscape

After each brief, the agent updates a summary of the whole field: current frontier and open models, major trends, strategic moves, and policy. Trends are labeled by how much evidence supports them. An early signal rests on at least two independent events from different organizations on different days. An established trend rests on at least three, or on evidence spanning two weeks or more.

Sources

Items link to the original announcement whenever one exists. News outlets are used for verification and context, and aggregators are used only to find stories. Claims are stated at the stage the source supports, such as announced, released, or signed.

Corrections

Corrections are made in the landscape and noted in the next update.
