01/What this isTwo things, no more

A reading service for people who already read too much.

We run a small newsroom that reads everything written about AI today and writes you one email about it tomorrow morning. The page is long. The newsletter is short.

  1. i.

    One email a day.

    Delivered at the local time you pick. Read it on the train. If today was quiet, the email is short. If today was loud, the email is still short.

  2. ii.

    Framing that fits where you are.

    Same news, different version for a parent than for a senior ML engineer. We sort readers across 45 cells and write each story 45 ways.

02/The 45-cell matrixWhere you actually are

Same news. Forty-five different framings.

Three technical depth levels, three awareness levels, five curriculum tracks. We sort each new reader into one cell on signup, then the digest is rewritten for that cell. A senior ML engineer and a worried parent get the same headlines, in entirely different words.

The cell is not a label. It changes as you read. Click any cell at right to preview the framing in section 03.

Lead, written for youEditorial

Claude 5: 1M context, sub-agents are first-class, function-calling spec rewritten.

The job this does for you

Decide if this changes your migration plan in tomorrow's standup. Don't waste two days re-reading the changelog.

Pricing is roughly flat to Sonnet 3.7 under 200k tokens. The function-calling SDK has a breaking change on `tools[].input_schema` (was `parameters`). Sub-agents replace the recursive loop pattern and cut p99 latency by 40% on the eval we ran. Migration diff is in the link.

Do this tomorrow

Open the diff link, scan the 12-line breaking change list, decide before standup whether you want a one-day spike or a two-week migration.

Today's lessonCurriculum
Function-calling versus tool-use, drawn out

Function-calling is a JSON-schema contract the model fills in. Tool-use is the broader pattern where the model decides which tool, in what order, with what inputs. Today's lesson: a side-by-side trace of the same task in both modes, with notes on where each one wins.

Today's skill · Verified Jul 9
A prompt prefix that cuts hallucinated citations by ~40% on long-form research
Add this exact line at the start of your system prompt. Verified today against gpt-5, claude-5, and gemini-2.5 on a 60-question medical literature review benchmark.
If you are not sure a citation is real, omit it. Do not invent.
04/Frequently askedFour honest answers
Is this an AI-written newsletter?−
There are humans on the desk. We use models for first drafts, then editors rewrite the lead and check facts. The page calls the product an AI digest because it is about AI. The digest itself is written by people.
