About
AI Digest is a daily overview of significant releases and events in the world of artificial intelligence, in Russian. The top priority is verifiability: every item comes with checkable sources, and every editorial claim is marked with a confidence scale.
The project is a personal initiative. No editorial team, no partnerships, no ads. A resource for me personally and for colleagues who prefer reading in Russian but don't want to lose touch with the primary sources.
Importance scale (1–5)
Each event is assigned a level from 1 to 5:
| Level | What it means |
|---|---|
| 5 | Paradigm shift — a new product class, market restructuring |
| 4 | Flagship / SOTA — top-tier model, new record, major shift |
| 3 | Notable release — major version, significant paper |
| 2 | Notable update — minor version with real changes (default) |
| 1 | Mention — patch, corporate news |
Default is 2. Levels 4–5 are assigned only with explicit grounds, which the
builder records in importance_reason (available in the JSON and in the
collapsible block).
Confidence (confidence in sources)
| Marker | Meaning |
|---|---|
| ✓ verified (green) | Both an official source and independent media |
| ✓ official (blue) | Only an official source, no third-party |
| △ media-only (yellow) | Only media without an official source, at least 2 independent ones |
Items below the minimum threshold (one secondary source without an official one) do not make it into the digest.
Three-bucket UI
On the issue page, items are split into three sections:
- 🔥 Must-read — importance ≥ 4 + reliable sources.
- 📘 Worth-knowing — importance = 3 or a flagship reported only in media.
- 📎 Reference — importance ≤ 2, collapsed by default.
The home page shows only Must-read and Worth-knowing.
Ranking
- Within an issue and a tag —
static_score = importance × confidence_mult. - On the home page —
time_decayed_scorewith the standard HN formula and softer gravity (1.5 instead of 1.8 — AI news has a longer life cycle). - In the weekly issue, a
persistence_bonusis added for events lasting ≥3 days.
Errata, updates, retraction
- Update — a factual change (new date, corrected price) is added to the
updatesarray and shown under the item. - Retraction — the item remains, marked as retracted (the page and feed get a
[Retracted]prefix, the title is struck through). - Supersedes — if an event evolves, a new entry references the old one via
supersedes. The old page is preserved (URLs are stable forever).
