Keep up with AI in 60 seconds, every morning
I'm Curtis. I've spent nineteen years building technology systems, the last several of them designing AI architectures for large public-sector customers, and I'm finishing a PhD on how language models behave. Every morning I read the entire AI feed so you don't have to, and send three stories with one honest line each on what they change. It's free, and it stays free.

What lands in your inbox
Every issue has the same job: catch you up on AI faster than any feed, podcast, or group chat.
The news that actually matters
Model launches, regulation, funding, and the platform moves that will change how you work. Three items, never thirty.
What it changes for you
Each story gets one plain-English line on the practical consequence, written by someone who builds with these tools every day.
Sources you can check
Primary links on every item: the announcement, the paper, the filing. If a claim can't be sourced, it doesn't go in.
Want to see one before you commit?
Fair. Every brief lives in the archive, and the last two are on the front page. Go poke around, then come back.
Get the Model Tracker, free when you join
Every major model release since 2025 in one sheet: what changed, context window, price per million tokens, and whether open weights exist. Updated every Friday. No course to buy, no upsell.
- 60+ models, one row each, newest first
- Input and output pricing captured at release, so you can see the trend
- Open-weights column linking to the local-run test on runllmslocally.com

The stuff people ask before joining
What does it cost?
Nothing, ever. If a sponsor appears it is labeled as one and never influences which stories make the cut.
How long does an issue take?
Sixty seconds. It's the script of the morning Short, with links.
Daily is too much for me.
Substack lets you switch to a weekly digest on the subscription page; you'll get Friday's roundup of the week's briefs instead.
Is this written by AI?
The Short's voiceover is synthetic; the story selection, the "what it changes" lines, and the sourcing are me. If a day is slow, the issue is shorter, not padded.
What if I hate it?
Unsubscribe in one click at the bottom of any issue. No guilt trip, no hoops.
Tomorrow's brief is already being written
Get on the list now and you'll never have to piece together what happened in AI from a chaotic feed again. Sixty seconds, every morning, and the Model Tracker the moment you join.
