Items are source-diversified after ranking so one prolific publisher cannot dominate the board. Interpretive assessments are collapsed by default.
OpenAI announced it will stop training frontier models on the live internet, citing significant safety and integrity risks.
The default view excludes research papers, removes low-confidence items, sorts by publication date and caps each publisher at two displayed items. Research has its own view, capped at four papers per research feed. Headlines open the OneBench evidence page; the separate source link opens the original.
One development is evidence, not momentum. The board does not label a topic “rising” from a single article, and the narrative implications are explicitly marked as interpretive assessments. Use repeated, independent sources over time before treating a topic as a trend.
Receive ten source-linked developments at 06:30 UK, with factual summary kept separate from interpretive assessment.
