AI SIGNAL
Curated frontier AI & tech news, refreshed every four hours. Aggregated from Hacker News, GitHub trending, and Hugging Face / Replicate releases.
[?] how ranking works
- 501+ exceptional
- 100–500 strong
- 51–99 mid
- 30–50 fresh
- <30 quiet
- live — currently trending
- cooling — losing momentum (6–18h)
- frozen — no longer trending; ranking decays over time
Composite ranking: trend velocity + log(raw signal) − staleness penalty. The bar shows relative strength within the current batch, higher = stronger overall position.
