The AI graveyard: a running list of projects and startups that didn’t make it
From Apple's repeatedly delayed Siri AI to OpenAI's messy "super app" launch, here's a look at the AI projects that shut down or missed expectations.

Open-Source AI Tools
Open-source AI tools provide builders with control, transparency, and the ability to self-host — but the landscape moves fast enough that a weekly check is not sufficient. New frameworks, SDKs, and repos appear regularly, and existing projects add features that can shift stack decisions.
This cluster covers open-source AI tool launches, framework updates, repo milestones, and community-driven signals from GitHub, HN, and other public sources. Each signal links to the primary repo or announcement.
Use this page to discover self-hostable tools, track framework maturity, and evaluate whether an open-source option can replace or augment your current paid stack.
