Source Policy

AI Hot is built on public sources. We summarize AI signals for faster scanning, but every important decision should be checked against the original source.

What counts as a source?

Official

Company blogs, changelogs, docs, release notes, pricing pages, and direct product announcements.

Repo

GitHub/GitLab releases, issues, pull requests, project docs, and public code artifacts.

Research

arXiv papers, lab posts, benchmark reports, evaluation writeups, and reproducible research notes.

Media

Reputable tech reporting and established expert blogs with enough detail to verify the source trail.

Community

Hacker News, Reddit, forums, and public discussions when they point to a concrete AI signal.

Source confidence labels

Source confidence is about traceability. A high-confidence source can still describe a tool, model, or claim that is not right for your workflow.

High

Direct official, repo, docs, paper, or other primary source. High confidence means traceable source quality, not product quality.

Medium

Reputable reporting or established first-hand analysis with enough detail to verify the claim elsewhere.

Low

Early, second-hand, thinly sourced, or community-only signals. Useful for awareness, not for decisions without self-check.

What makes the cut

A signal can be included when it is public, source-linked, AI-related, and relevant to a builder, operator, AI engineer, or product team.

  • • It affects stack choices, workflows, model behavior, cost, security, reliability, or market movement.
  • • It points toward a practical next action: try, watch, compare, save, or skip.
  • • It has enough public context for readers to verify the original.

What we usually exclude

We usually exclude general tech news, crypto, energy, politics, entertainment, non-AI consumer stories, thin affiliate pages, private rumors, and items without a source link.

Borderline stories may appear only when they affect AI builders or operators.

Automation, summaries, and corrections

Summaries are briefing layers

AI Hot summarizes public source material for faster scanning. Use the original source for full reporting, pricing, safety terms, and implementation details.

Submissions do not guarantee inclusion

A submitted source is reviewed against the same public-source, builder-relevance, and confidence rules as monitored feeds.

No hidden paid ranking

Paid placement, sponsorship, or affiliate relationships — if introduced later — must be labeled and must not change confidence or action labels.

Submit or correct a source

If you know a public AI source we should monitor — or if a brief needs correction — send the source name, URL, feed type, category, and why it matters.
