Standards

How I report, test and correct

These rules apply to every article, weekly issue and test on this site.

Sourcing

  • I link the original source for every factual claim.
  • I prefer primary sources: the announcement, the paper, the model card or the code.
  • A company's claim is labelled as its claim. My observations and my reading are labelled separately.
  • Each article says which parts are reported from sources and which parts I tested myself.
  • Funding news gives the round, the amount and the investors only when a source states them. Anything unknown is marked as undisclosed.

Testing

  • I write my predictions down before a test runs, and I publish them unchanged.
  • I keep the test conditions: the model version, the settings and the date.
  • I report failures, including the tests where my prediction was wrong.
  • A result covers the task I tested. It is not a ranking of the whole model.
  • I say what a reader can repeat and what they cannot.
  • When I had early access to a model, I say so, and I test it the same way.

AI assistance

  • AI agents help me research, draft and check facts.
  • A person reads and approves everything before it is published.
  • Agreement between AI agents is not treated as proof. Claims are checked against the original sources.
  • Web pages the agents read are treated as evidence, never as instructions.
  • Every first-person judgement on this site is mine.

Commercial disclosures

  • Sponsored items are always labelled Sponsored, on the web, by email and on social media.
  • Nobody can pay for coverage or for a finding.
  • I disclose relationships that matter to a story, such as early access or a product of mine.
  • The newsletter is published by AgentGlass, Inc., the company I founded. When a story touches AgentGlass, I say so.

Corrections

  • When I get something wrong, I correct it on the page and add a dated note that says what changed.
  • I never quietly replace an error.
  • If the error also went out by email or on social media, I correct it there too.
  • To report an error, message me on X with the link and what is wrong.
