Time-stamped AI news organized chronologically. Every entry links to the canonical article in its topic home — this page is a curated reverse-chronological view so news doesn’t get buried inside topic landings or drift out of date alongside slower-moving topic content.

Pattern: newest first. Each section is dated. Items rolled forward from raw/ ingests get the same source citation as the underlying article.

  • 2026-05-28 — Anthropic raises 965B post-money valuation, eclipsing OpenAI for the first time (Bloomberg), announced the same day as Claude Opus 4.8.

Format

Items in this index are organized reverse chronological by event date (not ingest date). Each item links to the canonical article in its topic home. When a news item becomes stale (>30 days for fast-moving releases; >90 days for industry signals), it migrates from “This Week” → “Earlier This Month” → archival sections (forthcoming as the wiki accumulates).

If a news item warrants its own dedicated article (e.g., a major announcement that needs deep coverage), it’s still authored in its topic home (claude-ai/, ai-industry-research/, etc.) and linked from here. That keeps single source of truth + lets each topic stay coherent while news has its own discoverable view.
