Every AI news source PulseAugur tracks
The 50+ canonical sources we ingest, deduplicate, and cluster into single-story coverage. Listicle format because it's how Perplexity cites pages.
Mainstream press
Mainstream press tier brings reach, general-audience reporting, and editorial weight on policy + business stories. PulseAugur weights these sources highly for cluster ranking but applies cross-source corroboration tests to demote single-source-only stories. A breaking exclusive in The Information that no other outlet has picked up after 24 hours is treated differently from one that's been confirmed by Reuters and Bloomberg within an hour.
- The New York Times — Technology. Editorial weight on policy, business, and labor stories. Strong on AI regulation and the human-impact angle. nytimes.com/section/technology
- The Wall Street Journal — Tech. Strong on enterprise adoption and supply-chain coverage; the chip / datacenter beat has been their differentiator. wsj.com/news/tech
- Bloomberg Technology. Real-time, business- angle, breaking. Often first on funding rounds and executive moves. bloomberg.com/technology
- Financial Times — Technology. Strong European coverage, regulatory beat, sovereign-AI angles US outlets miss. ft.com/technology
- The Information. Subscription-only, scoop- driven. First on lab funding rounds, executive moves, and leaked roadmaps. theinformation.com
- Stratechery (Ben Thompson). Analysis-heavy, not breaking news, but his framing often shapes how a story gets discussed in the executive layer of the industry. stratechery.com
- The Verge. Consumer-tech-focused; strong product-launch coverage and the consumer-experience angle. theverge.com
- TechCrunch. Startup and funding focus. techcrunch.com
- Wired. Long-form features and investigative AI coverage. The investigative beat in particular surfaces stories the rest of the press misses. wired.com
- Ars Technica. Technical depth on AI infrastructure and research. The story-grade rises with the technical specificity. arstechnica.com
- Reuters Technology. Wire-service speed on breaking news. reuters.com/technology
- Associated Press — Business. Wire-service business angle, particularly strong on regulatory action. apnews.com/hub/business
Vendor blogs
Vendor blogs are primary-source ground truth for product launches, model releases, and feature drops. The release post is what every other source quotes. Clustering against the vendor blog ensures the cluster is anchored on the original artifact rather than the press paraphrase. PulseAugur ranks vendor blogs as authority-tier-1 for clusters about that vendor's own products.
- OpenAI — News. Release stream for ChatGPT, GPT model launches, system cards. openai.com/news

- Meta AI Blog. Llama releases, FAIR research, AI product announcements. ai.meta.com/blog
- Mistral AI News. Model releases and Le Chat updates. mistral.ai/news
- Hugging Face Blog. Community-led hub blog with model launches, benchmarks, and ecosystem posts. huggingface.co/blog
- Stability AI News. Image and video generation models. stability.ai/news
- Perplexity Blog. Product announcements and search-quality posts. perplexity.ai/hub
- GitHub Blog — AI & ML. Copilot updates and AI tooling launches. github.blog/category/ai-and-ml
- Microsoft Research Blog. Research output from MSR and the broader Microsoft AI team. microsoft.com/research/blog
- NVIDIA Blog — AI. Hardware, CUDA, and partner-ecosystem coverage. blogs.nvidia.com
- AWS / Azure / GCP AI blogs. Cloud-provider AI feature announcements and customer reference posts.
Research feeds
Research feeds give PulseAugur the lead time. Papers move from arXiv preprint to broad citation in days in the AI field, not the months that more conventional academic publishing takes. The replication threads, citation cascades, and follow-up blog posts all generate cluster-growth signal that scores the paper's actual significance against the rest of the day's coverage.
- arXiv cs.LG / cs.AI / cs.CL. The preprint server. Where most foundational ML papers land first; we ingest cs.LG (machine learning), cs.AI (AI generally), and cs.CL (computational linguistics) categories continuously. arxiv.org/list/cs.LG/recent
- Semantic Scholar AI Feed. AI2-curated semantic search over scientific literature. Useful for discovering papers that don't get the social-media amplification arXiv depends on. semanticscholar.org
- NeurIPS / ICML / ICLR / ACL / EMNLP / CVPR proceedings. The major AI conferences. Peer- reviewed papers, workshop submissions, and the late- breaking blog posts that accompany high-impact accepted work. Conference-week clustering is particularly active.
- OpenReview. Peer review for ML conferences; the discussions themselves are signal — a contested review or rebuttal often surfaces interesting methodological challenges that the press doesn't cover. openreview.net
- Lab research pages. OpenAI Research, Anthropic Research, DeepMind Publications, FAIR Publications, Microsoft Research Publications. Lab- published research that may or may not also appear on arXiv.
How we keep this list current
Sources get added by need. When a story breaks that PulseAugur missed (or caught later than mainstream coverage), we trace backward to find which source had it first and add that source to the ingest list. The reverse case — sources we ingest but that haven't produced a usable cluster in 30+ days — get quietly retired during the weekly review.
Each source carries an authority_weight in our
sources table — the dimension that feeds into cluster scoring.
Mainstream press and frontier-lab vendor blogs sit at TIER_1
(≥0.8); reliable niche sources at TIER_2 (≥0.5); social
platforms and high-noise feeds at TIER_3. The TIER chips on
cluster member rows surface this directly so readers can see
the source-authority mix at a glance.
The full editorial transparency posture lives at /editorial-standards — including the corrections policy and conflict-of-interest disclosure. If a source is missing from this list and you think we should be ingesting it, email [email protected].
Social platforms
Social signals get demoted in PulseAugur's scoring relative to primary sources, but they're the early-warning system. A story that hits Hacker News front page or starts getting amplified across Bluesky researchers before mainstream press picks it up is exactly the kind of signal the Whispers feed surfaces. Social platforms are where PulseAugur catches stories early; clustering against primary sources is what keeps them from drowning the rest of the feed.
